Root Access

Theoretically the accelerometers in the iPhone can be used to track distance using interpolation over time. What is the estimated error for tracking distances between 1 and 10 meters? Is there any iPhone app that work as a measuring tape?

It would be funny to create specific vibrations for whoever rang, and set it for Morse Code, to spell out M-O-M or J-I-M :P or whoever

> A program bug is an error that causes a program to malfunction, The first official recorded use of the word bug in the context of computing is assoviated with the temporary failure of teh Mark II computer, which was in service at the Naval Weapons Center in Dahlgren, Virginia, con Sept 9 1945. The problem was traced to a short circuit caused by a moth caught between two contacts in one of the computer's relays.

Matt Jenkins

@Linker3000 nah, I gave up. I was only playing with something

studiohack

done @BloodPhilia

Linker3000

@MattJenkins No prob - we run VMWare player at work so I could have checked for you tomorrow.

BloodPhilia

Lol

it was for someone, there was a fight last week

and I was a witness

So someone called to ask my to testify

studiohack

ahhh, you weren't gone THAT long? @BloodPhilia

and you said that you had to edit 4 times, so i thought you were referring to something on SU lol

BloodPhilia

@studiohack It was on the phone! xD

Haha no xD

studiohack

swe- what?! that's different. usually, @BloodPhilia, you show up in person lol

BloodPhilia

@studiohack It was rather informal... Just to verify SOMETHING significant happened

Greg

Hi everyone!

studiohack

hello @Greg

you're from SO @Greg, right?

BloodPhilia

10:24 PM

Hi :D @Greg

Greg

@studiohack yeah I'm usually in SO chats

studiohack

usually when new users show up here, @Greg, I check their profile accounts to see where they come from (to determine if they are a total newbie or have experience with SE) :) welcome to SU!

Greg

hah, didn't know you needed a background check to chat here

studiohack

you don't @Greg, just was curious :)

are you thinking about contributing to SU @Greg? or just checking it out?

is this a weird question or what? @BloodPhilia, @KronoS @anyone else

Q: The perfect way to sync chrome and google bookmarks

Similar questions have been asked, but I want to leave this open until a good solution comes around, unlike this one. So, is the perfect way to sync google chrome bookmarks and google bookmarks already born? :-( Next step: sync with delicious!

google-chrome bookmarks google-bookmarks

I want to close it, but I'm not sure I should...

KronoS

10:40 PM

@studiohack I'm not really sure what to do either

studiohack

it is weird! @KronoS

KronoS

@studiohack I don't think it's worth keeping as is... he needs to clarify what he means

studiohack

maybe close as

not a real question @KronoS? and then make him clarify?

KronoS

@studiohack ya I agree with that

studiohack

added comment, we'll see what happens...@KronoS - I don't care for that user much, I was dealing with one of his posts earlier today...

Greg

10:54 PM

@studiohack probably contribute at some point

there are some good questions

Q: What are the license terms of Microsoft products that are no longer supported?

What are the license terms of Microsoft products that are no longer supported? Like Windows 98 or Microsoft Money?

license

studiohack

off-topic because it's not really related to SU?

or not?

Linker3000

@studiohack Whaddya do - paste a link to the MS licencing pages or cutnpaste all the test for people too [$adjective] to go to the right place?

studiohack

is it even on-topic in the first place @Linker3000?

I've seen similar questions closed...

Linker3000

It's more of a LMGTFY scenario rather than one that can be answered from experience

studiohack

11:01 PM

yeah it is on topic, from past EULA questions @Linker3000

Linker3000

It just begs for "Have you actually tried the MS site?"...and there's no mention of a specific problem to be solved.

A: What are the license terms of Microsoft products that are no longer supported?

See this post on Abandonware from Wikipedia: Abandonware are discontinued products for which no product support is available, or whose copyright ownership may be unclear for various reasons. Abandonware may be computer software or physical devices which are usually computerised in some fashio...

Greg

@Linker3000 LMGTFY THIS: lmgtfy.com/?q=cache%3Almgtfy.com

Linker3000

@studiohack Holy crap - I'd like to see MS's reaction to their old apps being labelled 'abandonware' - you'd better duck!

@Greg Yup. I like this one though:

giyf.com

Greg

@Linker3000 I was showing off the recursion

Linker3000

11:10 PM

@Greg Ah - just tried it and it got b0rked by NoScript!

Greg

@Linker3000 out of curiosity, why do you use NoScript?

(I used to use it)

studiohack

see post now @Linker3000

Linker3000

@Greg It stops crap from bugging me!

@studiohack Phew!

studiohack

lol @Linker3000

Greg

@Linker3000 I found it bugged me too often when forgetting to unblock stuff

Linker3000

11:16 PM

@Greg Things calm down after a bit of unblocking, especially if you don't visit too many new or odd sites. Adblock Plus is a godsend too.

Greg

yeah I use Adblock Plus, love the way it blocks ads in flash now

actually I think it's Adblock not Adblock Plus

The Journeyman geek

11:39 PM

its still adblock plus

adblock is dead tho

@Linker3000 : MS has no abandonware - if you know what licence to get, you can get anything ;p

Linker3000

@TheJourneymangeek Yep, that was what I was hinting at

The Journeyman geek

they're smart XD

victor23k

Anybody could help me identify whether my computer is infected/compromised ? I posted a question.. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Journeyman geek

victor23K: tried running malwarebytes?

Linker3000

@TheJourneymangeek ^^ This

The Journeyman geek

11:44 PM

its a pretty good malware checker, and it not installing means you're definately compromised

other than that, i'd suggest learning to use hijackthis and rootkit revealer

also what AV do you use now?

victor23k

nod32 on win7x64

Q: help ... virus ? compromised ? (aarama.net) vbs

Help me please identify whether my computer is compromised or not. I'm not yet sure what this is.. I'm still browsing through some JavaScript (my level = beginner) files I found during my 'research'... The story: Windows 7 x64 Professional, Eset Smart Security 4.2.71.2, latest Firefox, lates...

windows-7 security virus-removal vbs

The Journeyman geek

run malwarebytes too

its a scanner only for the free version

victor23k

The thing is that I found an .hta on my hard-drive and I don't remember downloading it...

now I'm fighting with some ugly scripts I found on aarama.net to understand what are they doing/did to me

Linker3000

@victor23k Start with some scanning as recommended and focus on your PC rather than the other end.

The Journeyman geek

what @Linker3000 said

the other end, so to speak, is more security focused. there's probably ways to do it, but its beyond the scope of what most people do

/me misses winpooch. it'd be perfect for dismantling what a dubious bit of software does.

Linker3000

11:53 PM

@victor23k For what it's worth I have just asked Google to take a look at that site.

victor23k

@Linker3000 Yep, good idea.. I was thinking of the same.. but I don't have any experience with reporting and so on...

Linker3000

@victor23k If you use Firefox, when you are on a suspicious site, you can click the help menu and use 'report web forgery'

If you want to try this, load up Firefox, install NoScript to block unwanted scripts and then revisit the suspicious site.

victor23k

@Linker3000 wow, that's handy. I didn't knew about this
