New Harry Potter book leaked!
Jul 15, 2007 Other
The new harry potter book has been leaked, and just so you dont have to wait for the book to be released, here is the last page.
Having just performed Hermione’s third abortion, Harry Potter decided it was time to move on from Hogwarts. It seemed like only yesterday when he first looked upon this new and magical place with wonder and excitement in his eyes. But it had been a long seven years and he had seen too many muggles get raped and tortured for this place to ever feel the same again.
Young Harry, his innocence long ago lost to the fingers and tongue of Professor Snape, set out to enter a new world and leave this place behind him forever. But before he did, he decided to make one last trip through these hallowed halls to double-check the wiring on his bombs and to rub out one last load onto the pale, lifeless face of Ron Weasley.
Now a safe distance away from the campus, Harry was filled with a sense of pride and a smile slowly worked its way across his face. ‘This is it,’ he thought. Then he pressed the button that left the Hogwarts’ grounds covered in nothing but flaming rubble and the charred remains of hundreds of young wizards and witches.
Harry was now ready to move into Voldemort’s secluded castle in the hills, where the two of them would live out the remainder of their lives exchanging Rusty Trombones. He slowly made his way down that dark and lonely path that would take him to his destiny. That’s when the ghost of Dumbledore appeared, decapitated Harry, and drank the precious blood that would once again give him life. Then a pack of wolves ate him.
You should thank me, I just saved you some money.

The pinnacle of shitty software
So today I remembered an app that i used to use to “wipe free space”, it basically writes over your blank space with 0′s. because as everyone knows when you delete something its not actually deleted. so this app would actually go through your hard drives and “clean” your disks. I thought I hadnt done that for a while, but thats because I lost the app, and the only thing i remember about it is that the .exe file was called restore.exe, and google didnt give any results. anyways, so i thought I’d search google for an alternative, I didnt find many that were free(maybe im just rubbish at searching), the most i could find was a shareware version of a pprogram called “12ghosts shredder”. so i downloaded and installed, and looking through the options I thought it seemed quite a through program, so i clicked the “clean now button”, and within a few mins it tols me it was finished, odd I though as i Have around 500gb of space for it o work though, so looking further into the program, i had to tell it what to clean, so after ticking the box’s and pressing the button again, the program then proceeded to fill up my hard drive with files called “delete_me_delete_me_delete_me_(random_number).del”, they filled my desktop, my start menu, my quick launch menu, and pretty much any other folder I could find. WTF? and by the the prgress indicator said it was only 10% done, it stopped every 10 seconds with a dialog asking me to buy the program, which got really fucking annoying, So i quit, and then using windows search i searched for all files beggining with “delete_me”, there were over 50,000 files found, all of them 0kb. what possible use could these files have? apart from pissing off the user. I tried selecting them all and deleting them, but as you can imagine trying to delete 50,000 files in one go wasnt going to be easy. I tried system restore, but that didnt seem to affect it. so eventually I had to open a DOS prompt and use the “del” command to the delete them.
Never again am I going to use such shitty software. and if i Have to i’ll set up a sandbox or VM or something.

Allofmp3 shutdown by russian government, iphone firmware released to web
Jul 3, 2007 Tech
Well it seems that the RIAA have finally got thier way, they threatened not to let the russian government into the WTO unless the site was shutdown. arses, lol.
More info: http://torrentfreak.com/allofmp3-shut-down-by-russian-government
The good news though is that, the company behind allofmp3.com have launched another mp3 website called MP3sparks.com, which uses the same interface, and user database, users of allofmp3.com can login to the site with thier details and access thier balance and download tracks. So really all I can see thats changed is that they’ve changed thier name and created a new skin for thier interface. I’ve always thought the name “all of mp3″ was a bit naff anyways, mp3sparks sounds much better 
Also another similar site that got my attention was mp3sugar.com, I dont think they’re run by the same people, but it looks like a similar service, ive yet to try it out though. plus theres always torrents, newgroups etc.
In other news, the recently released iPhone has had its root passwords cracked and had its firmware released onto the web.
