Why you little Yes you got me!! haha

Depends how you view this one. From one aspect it is telling the truth, the other aspect is it is lying. Truth: Nothing is written in stone - the word nothing is actually written in stone Lie: Nothing is written in stone - well something obviously is written in stone

I could watch that all day. Just wish it was longer.

Using Sandbox restricts access to ANYTHING you don't add to the list thereby preventing the above problem

I suspect the apps with the full screen ads are going to pose this problem no matter how you block them as they are hard coded into the application. Take Com2Us's Slice It as an example. I play this game offline and with adblock running yet i still get ads related to other Com2Us games.

Just to throw my two penneth into the mix. On the subject of App Blocking. A good free App blocker is Sandbox by Famigo. It allows you to setup which apps are accessible and also allows you to prevent in game/app purchases and (if you use it on a device capable of making calls) blocks call options. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.famigo.sandbox&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5mYW1pZ28uc2FuZGJveCJd It allows you to specify which apps can and can't be accessed and it uses androids pattern unlock to provide security to the management side. Regarding proxy support, Android has never really been built with Global App support for proxies however if your devices are rooted you can use ProxyDroid. another free app on the market https://market.android.com/details?id=org.proxydroid&hl=en

Depends on your situation and network setup but there is a free proxy app called ProxyDroid: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.proxydroid&hl=en It uses the built in IPTables for your android device, the only issue is that the device has to be rooted in order for the app to work. For me this is android's biggest flaw as it has very basic proxy support and it usually only works for the GApps and nothing else. EDIT: Just noticed you put unrooted in the title. Is there a reason for this? Without root access you will struggle to get any decent proxy support running. ICS also has this limitation. The proxy support built into android allows you to specify authentication settings but like i said it only works for the browser and SOME of the Google Apps

Me and a friend highlighted some network flaws to our network manager when i was at school. Needless to say when the network went down we were the first to be questioned and were threatened with suspension and being kicked off our IT courses if we didn't tell them what we had done. First and last time i tried to be helpful in that school i can tell you.

Hi all A number of the schools i support are signing up to this online system where the kids can read ebooks and earn reward points to open newer ones. The site address is Bug Club The schools are asking me to setup shortcuts to the site on desktops, this in itself isn't a problem however the site uses a cookie system to remember the school id for the login. The school id is a 4 character phrase that is given to the school by Pearson. The network is setup so that upon logoff the pupils cookies are deleted and this causes the school id to be wiped next time you visit the site. I was wondering if anyone else had used this and managed to setup a shortcut to populate the school id field?

I'm impressed you have got this far TBH. I gave up at the first stage. I hope you manage to solve this one

GO ON nephilim, You can do it!!!

Well, that's me out then!! lol No idea at all what the hell that lot means!!

No way man!! Any pointers you could give?

Wow, glad to see that this has piqued some interest!! Apparently it is only one word and there is a hell of a lot of padding in the hex string. Even armed with that information i don't know what to do

Me neither, looked at the source for the site, nothing!! Ah well. Guess hacking and cracking aren't for me then!

From the BBC Website this morning: BBC News - GCHQ challenges codebreakers via social networks Any budding Hackers on here fancy the challenge? Can you crack it?

Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Steve I understand now, sorry if i was coming across as an idiot. First time doing anything like this but i'm enjoying it none the less. Thanks again

Ok, you can tell i'm a complete novice now I have attached my current code as i'm still having problems with it Shortcut Lister test.vbs I hope someone can help me

Ok, yep. That makes sense. As soon as i read your first sentence i knew you were right. Thanks, will post back if it doesn't work

Ok people I am learning vbs coding from looking at others and then tweaking them to suit my purposes. I learn best this way you see. The problem I have is this. I have located a vbs script to locate the shortcuts in a folder and return them and their targets and list them in a text file. It works perfectly however it is not very user friendly as you have to edit the script to change certain variables. To that end I have included an Input Box to ask the user where they want to scan and for the time being left the target file as a hardcoded location. Now the problem comes when including both these variables in a confirmation MsgBox. This works: 'LocateSC.vbs '' /// Setup environment declarations and object references /// Dim path Dim objFSO:Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Dim objShell:Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") Dim objFolder:Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(InputBox ("Enter the full path to the folder","Enter Full Path","C:\test")) Dim objOutput:Set objOutput = objFSO.CreateTextFile("C:\Shortcuts.txt") If MsgBox("This program will scan for shortcuts in your selected location - " & objFolder _ & vbNewline & vbNewline & "It will then list them in a text file under the following path - " _ & vbNewline & vbNewline & "Click Ok to Proceed.", vbOkCancel, "Shortcut Analyser") _ = vbOk Then This doesn't 'LocateSC.vbs '' /// Setup environment declarations and object references /// Dim path Dim objFSO:Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Dim objShell:Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") Dim objFolder:Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(InputBox ("Enter the full path to the folder","Enter Full Path","C:\test")) Dim objOutput:Set objOutput = objFSO.CreateTextFile("C:\Shortcuts.txt") If MsgBox("This program will scan for shortcuts in your selected location - " & objFolder _ & vbNewline & vbNewline & "It will then list them in a text file under the following path - " & objOutput _ & vbNewline & vbNewline & "Click Ok to Proceed.", vbOkCancel, "Shortcut Analyser") _ = vbOk Then If I try to run the second one I get the following error box: Script: (path to script) Line: 10 Char: 1 Error: Object doesn't support this property or method Code: 800A01B6 Source Microsoft VBScript runtime error Now I know that this means the error is on line 10 and that is the MsgBox code but what I don't understand is why if I remove the objOutput variable from the MsgBox script it works fine. If needed I can provide my script in it's current form. Thanks for looking people

Hi all The ICT Teacher at one of my schools has done something EXTREMELY funny (NOT) and thrown away a few pieces of software. Granada Toolkit v2 and Primary Branch are 2 of these pieces of software and i cannot find a copy of them on the net. Anyone know where i can buy them from? Cheers

I have taken a look at a few links revealed by Web Developer Console in firefox but i cannot for the life of me work out if any of them are of any use. The one I have been working on is this: TLM Web Service this link shows a ?UserVerify string which contains the username and password and also the product id however when i use this string (substituting the correct values) i get left with an xml file output: The bits in bold are the bits i have removed Anyone fancy taking a stab at this?

Hi all The head at one of my schools has just asked me to look at tout-le-monde.co.uk as she has purchased a subscription to it. She originally wanted me to change the password for the software which Pearson/Heinnemann have told me is not possible. Another issue is that they do not provide the ability to auto login like Education City. They recommend the very safe method of placing the Username and Password into a text file on the desktop. My question to you is this: Does anyone know anyway of creating an automatic login using a third party free piece of software? They have advised me that this method might work. For anyone that is curious the username is made up of 9 characters which are mixed lowercase and numbers, the password is made up 6 characters which are mixed uppercase and numbers. Getting a teacher to type that in everytime is ridiculous as some of them struggle to type their own bleeding names!! Cheers all

Care to point out the word John is??

ROADKILL!!!!
