In the last week, I created WortopiaBot which is a hack or cheat for all kind of multiplayer boggle games like Wortopia or WEBoggle. You can just start the program and wait a few seconds, then it will have solved the game and submit all possible words to the respective game server. Using the right word database, the accuracy can be up to 100%.
There are 2 versions of this bot, one is called “Perfect Edition” because it always reaches 100% if the program can access the right database. Before I found out that the original Wortopia database is available under open-source license, I used other databases that reached only around 80%. Thus I also created a “Learning Edition” that checks the words from last round and adds them to the database, in addition to the removal of wrong words. If the Learning Edition plays enough games, it should optimize its database to the same accuracy of the Perfect Edition.
The Learning Edition will be available for download from SourceForge soon.
Are you annoyed of refreshing your game slots all the time when hosting a game in Warcraft 3? Then you can use one of these awesome Auto Refresh tools who do the stuff for you! I know there are many tools like that out there in the Internet , but I had problems finding a good one, so I will upload it here.
Host a game in Battle.Net and start Autorefresh. Make sure you set it to the right port, usually 6112, but when you changed it ingame (like I did), you will also have to change it in the application. Inside the game, all slots will be filled by a player called “Autorefresh” every 15 seconds and thus refreshing the ports.
Thanks to Jason Ureta for creating this awesome application and even sharing the source code with us!
I wrote a tutorial earlier how to bypass the Windows Geniune Advantage (WGA) check for installing Windows Media Player 11 or Internet Explorer 8 by using a registry hack, but this will go even further and make your copy of Windows look completely genuine so you can even do Windows Updates and use the Office Online templates.
All the software is from CT Forums, so please refer to them if you have questions or there are any legal issues.
You may only use this tutorial and the software provided if you own an original version of Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office! Check the legal situation in your country before following this tutorial! I am not responsible for any crimes commited with the information provided!
Please scroll down for the Office 2007 tutorial. If there are any questions, post them as comments please!
Make Windows genuine for Windows Update
First of all, download the WGA Patcher from the link above or from CT Forums and extract all the files to your hard disk.
Generate Windows XP key
Then open Windows XP Keygen.exe, select “Windows XP Pro VLK” in the Product Family dropdown menu, and click “generate”. In the box below, it will generate a Windows XP license key. Don’t close the program, you will need it later!
Here is how you can run StarCraft, the most sold real-time strategy game ever, on modern computers with Windows XP or Vista. Originally, the game is designed to run on Windows 95 or 98, but with a few tricks, it will also work on new machines!
In contrast to modern games, StarCraft uses the IPX protocol instead of the TCP/IP protocol. Luckily even Windows XP and Vista include this protocol, but they don’t have it installed usually.
First of all, go to your Control Panel -> Network and Internet connections -> Network Connections, right-click on your LAN connection and select properties.
Hey, see what I digged out a few days ago! Once upon a time I created a quite funny Counter-Strike 1.6 map, I think it was 2004 (I was 13 years old then…). It is, as the name suggests, a middleage-themed map, just two small rooms and two corridors, but the size is what makes it so funny.
Just extract the files from the archive and move them to your maps folder, probably C:\Program File\Counter Strike\cstrike\maps\. Then restart the game and launch the map!
Are you one of the nerds who write every second $3n73n(3 £1|{3 7h1$ (”sentence like this” for non-nerds)? Then you may be interested in this:
There is a Google frontpage completely written in Leetspeak, 1337, L33t or whatever you want to call it. So “Search” becomes “s3a|2ch”, “Advanced Search” will be “4DV4NC3D 534RC|-|” and so on.
If you are too lazy to write in such a weird way but still want to be “nerdish” then I would suggest one of these L33t converters:
Actually I thought Google’s “20 percent time”, a programme that allows all Google employees to spend 20% of their working time (one day per week) on projects that interest them. Google owns everything the programmers create during that time, so it can will promote the creativity of its employees and although some working time is lost for the company, they can expect great new inventions. Probably the most well-known invention is Gmail, Google’s great mailing service. But also other useful services such as Google News and AdSense emerged from ideas of Google employees.
But this time, they used their time for some kind of rubbish. Seriously. 4 Google employees opened a Spreadsheet (see Google Docs) all the same time, resized the 18600 cells of it to small squares and used background coloring to paint some kind of christmas art. See more about it in this video:
In the last time, E-Book readers are coming up. In the beginning, they were heavy, had bad displays and were really expensive. But by now, the developers managed to create some products really looking worth to buy. Currently, there are two major readers: the Amazon Kindle and the Sony PRS-505.
With Kindle, Amazon wants to overtake the E-Book reader market. It features an 15cm display with 800×600 pixels and has the size of a normal book. The user can download E-Books directly from the Amazon shop using a free mobile connection, so you’ve got basically all available books with you at every time. Up to 200 books should fit into the internal memory which can be extended with an SD memory card. The battery should last for one week, since it only needs power to turn pages (once the new page is loaded, the display keeps the image without needing any power). In addition, the user can add comments to lines of the E-Book. Price: 280€ (360 US$)
Just a few days ago I found this quite impressing website: http://eyeos.info/ They offer an operating system which is completely running in your browser. It includes all basic applications you can think of (Office suite with text writer, spreadsheets and presentations, calendar, contact manager, calculator, email application and some basic games)and has the possibility to upload your local files to your online desktop.
