eno Vista Port Theme - Free Download

eno Vista Port Theme
This Vista theme looks familiar but I can’t put my finger on it. Either way I like the choice of colors and the non cluttered look. The start button looks cool as do the window buttons. The look of the background mixed in with the color of the window background goes nicely. Nothing too exciting but it does have some nice features.

Is GNU/Linux More Secure than Microsoft Windows?

GNU/Linux is considered a more stable and more secure operating system than Microsoft Windows. The belief behind this comes from two schools of thought. The first is that the open source / free software alliance makes the GNU/Linux operating system less of a target for attackers who wish to cause trouble for the commercial enterprise–backed operating system.

The other school of thought states that the stability and security come from the fact that many developers are looking at, probing, and testing the source code that is freely available. With such a large community of developers looking over the code, bugs and other errors are found and fixed more quickly. GNU/Linux opponents have raised the point that one unethical programmer could insert malicious code into the project. However, the number of people who are examining the source code practically ensures that this would be detected almost immediately.

Another reason behind some of the strength of the GNU/Linux operating system is that there is no rush to market. Many software packages need to be released by a certain date in order to meet sales projections. Security experts cringe at this thought since when software is rushed, not enough time is spent fixing vulnerabilities in the code. With GNU/Linux, often hundreds of volunteers are pouring over the source code looking for these vulnerabilities.

Windows 7 : How to Disable and Turn Off UAC in Windows 7

The user interface of User Account Control (UAC) settings in Windows 7 has changed to reflect the move to make UAC less annoying. In Windows 7, the UAC has a slider bar which allows users to configure and select which level of notification (and hence protection against unauthorized and malicious access) they want. With the fine-tuning of UAC, the wording ‘disable’ or ‘turn off’ is no longer available. So how can you disable UAC? Or at least, how can you turn off the notification prompt or pop-up so that they appear less regularly?

In fact, the steps to disable UAC is Windows 7 is similar to steps to disable UAC in Windows Vista, only with slight user interface change, and there is plenty of methods to turn off UAC too.

A. To user Control Panel to disable UAC in Windows 7, there are several methods to access the User Account Control settings page:

1. Go to Start Menu -> Control Panel -> User Accounts and Family Safety -> User Account.
2. Go to Start Menu -> Control Panel -> System and Security -> Action Center.
3. Click or right click on Flag icon in notification area (system tray), and then Open Action Center.
4. Type “MsConfig” in Start Search to start System Configuration, then go to Tools tab, select Change UAC Settings, then click on Launch button.

B. Click on User Account Control settings link.

C. Slide the slider bar to the lowest value (towards Never Notify), with description showing Never notify me.

D. Click OK to make the change effective.

E. Restart the computer to turn off User Access Control.[Via DigitalLife]

Windows 7 : Disable Activation of Windows 7 and Server 2008

Windows 7 beyond the 30-day evaluation period aka activation grace period, other than rearm method and frankenbuild+OEM BIOS emulation method, the best bet is to use Windows 7 activation crack which disable WPA.

TimerNuke, that run a batch command script to disable the activation process in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008. TimerNuke, also known as Windows 7 & 2008 Activation Disabler, actually does not stop the activation grace period countdown clock. Instead, it disables and removes several several services and files related to software licensing in order to bypass and skip the activation requirement.

What TimerNuke does is that when executed, it stops and changes the startup type of sppsvc (Software Protection), sppuinotify (SPP Notification Service) and SLUINotify (SL UI Notification Service) services to disable. Then, the TimerNuke simply takes ownership and full control permissions on the following files, before backing them up and finally deleting them away.

%SYSPATH%\SLLUA.exe

%SYSPATH%\sppsvc.exe

%SYSPATH%\SLUI.exe

%SYSPATH%\sppuinotify.dll

%SYSPATH%\SLUINotify.dll

Once the Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 is been nuked and cracked with TimerNuke, Windows will stop asking user to activate. The activation status and product ID becomes not available or unknown. Hence, the Windows may run forever without activation permanently.

TimerNuke version 1.0.5.0 supports both 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) editions of Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7. It supports at least up to Windows 7 Beta build 7000. However, it likely supports to crack the final RTM release of Windows 7 if the product activation module in the OS is not significantly changed.
