4. Select the Telnet Client option.
5. Click OK.
6. A dialog box will appear to confirm installation. The telnet command should now be available.
I suspect that most of you use or have used Megavideo, an excellent video [sharing] service, however as most of [you] would know it does have an annoying time-limit on its videos to force payment out of you.
So the first thing you could use is this site http://megastreaming.org/ all you need to do is type in the URL of your video in the provided space and it will generate a link without the time limit.
Illitmux is a handy Firefox plug-in that does the same thing as the previous website, basically what they have is a load of gold accounts and when [you] press the button they just stream you the video via the gold account. Here is the link Illitmux
Right O… Iv been looking for this god like application for some time now. As an avid lover my my Microsoft (Sigh) Windows (Sigh) Vista (Sigh) Media Center machine, im often in a position where i need a quick reinstall, or im creating a new build for another house machine, family machine, test machine etc etc..
If you’ve ever been in this position too, then its obvious that microsoft has missed out on a great opportunity to throw out one of their leogondary (usually buggy) powertools to create backups of all your scheduled recordings, channel listings, etc !
well, the days of dreaming are finally over, and here we go…

Windows/Mac/Linux: Java-based DirSync Pro provides cross-platform file synchronization with an easy to use interface, incremental backup, and a profile system.
DirSync Pro is a robust and open-source file synchronizing tool. Thanks to its Java-based construction it has cross-platform support and a self-contained directory for easy portability.
You can use DirSync to perform bidirectional and unidirectional syncs, making it easy to only update files on one side of the transfer or sync both locations to each other. There are numerous variables you can tweak to control the transfers including only syncing new, larger, or modified files. You can set filters to include or exclude sub-directories, create backups of the synced and changed files, and create configuration files for your most frequently used locations and settings.
The configuration files are handy feature, especially if you’re running the application in multiple environments off your USB drive. You can create unique setups and execute them independently making it super easy to create a specific routine for backing up files at work, syncing files at home, or whatever situation you find yourself in. DirSync Pro is open source and works wherever Java does.
Welcome to Fluxbox, im afraid we have no affiliation with the Linux window manager, so if your looking for that, turn around now.
