So last night we had a little match of mattress jousting... and it went just a little bit wrong
(PS) thats me with the flashes going off in the room, but you will see what happens

And with Pictures like this you have to see the video
(Pictures and the Video After the Break)

So I am finally at college now... But nothing ever goes as smooth as it should. After setting up my computer (Mac Book Pro (Intel chipset) I discover that my entire external hard drive is wiped... 100 gigs of music and photos gone... So i was wondering if anyone knew any Data recovery programs for OS X that they would recommend...

Thanks

The boys over at haxademix.net never cease to amaze me, this time rolling out a web based and virtually anonymous SQL injection tool (it's FREE to).

** For those of you who do not know what an SQL injection is...

SQL injection is a technique that exploits a security vulnerability occurring in the database layer of an application. The vulnerability is present when user input is either incorrectly filtered for string literal escape characters embedded in SQL statements or user input is not strongly typed and thereby unexpectedly executed. It is in fact an instance of a more general class of vulnerabilities that can occur whenever one programming or scripting language is embedded inside another.

So I stumbled across a neat site which allows you to make your own paper person and then print it out and with a little bit of time and glue make a neat little 3D guy

Everyone has or eventually will experience the dreaded click.... click... click... noise of their ipod's hard drive when its eventual death has come to be. I recently discovered by 1. Simply opening your ipod 2. Disconnecting your drive ,  3. Turning the ipod back on and letting it boot until it gives you an error 4. Turning off the ipod 5. reconnecting the drive and 6. Turning the ipod back on will fix it....

I have no idea why this works but i have had 100% success with 3 ipods; 4g; 3G; and ipod mini

Try it.. let me know how you fare
and by the way this voids your warranty

        AllPeers is an easy to use P2P that works inside of firefox as an extension. Even though it is still in its beta i managed to snag myself an account. So if you are interested in trying out this i only have a few invites so be sure to leave a comment with a email address

        O man o man i don’t know if anyone has heard yet but you can install vista for FREE! Through Microsoft of course. What the hell i said why not entertain myself with vista for a few hours. Well everything is nice i suppose but very quickly i realized this is hardly any better then windows xp. (Click Image to see what i am talking about)

Upon my daily ritualistic visit to slashdot every night at 8:03 i was suprised to notice the formatting was tragically messed up on the website(as you may see). Quickly i snached a screenshot to document this historical event falling upon one of the Internets most trusted technology websites corruption. So at this i leave you to decide Server Error or part of a larger conspiracy?
