  1. Hooking Mac Mini Into Surround Sound

    in Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod

    Posted

    ok the audio is being sent out raw? I would think there would be some way to change it over to PCM or what ever. It is going out via a toslink or optical into my 5.1 audio home receiver. It says it is getting a digital reception on the receiver. But I want the audio to be 5.1 all the time not 2 channel and then when I play DVD's it is 5.1.

    PCM is RAW...

    Also you have to set up audio on most DVD's to do 5.1 as they revert to stereo for default.

    also are you sending this audio to a TV then to a separate audio system.. if so under HDCP processing stereo is all you get.

    I may have good stuff.. I don't have it..

    the second edition has out dated stuff, but the concepts work..

    it teaches how to exploit and keep your system safe down to the software level.

    for example, to hack a web server it first teaches you how to write code for a web server so you can see how they parse HTML

    tools like nmap and http://www.openvas.org/ are very useful

  15. Setting Up A Ubuntu Webserver To Test Wordpress

    in Linux & Unix

    Posted

    there is no difference in the server version and the desktop version, except the GUI (server version has non by default). The only reason there is a Server version is because some people can not get out of their heads that they should be different.

    under system --> administration --> services you can set if a service starts or not at boot..

    of wordpress it would be apache..

    but as JCL stated.. both apache and mysql take almost no resources unless you are accessing them..

  23. Antivirus 2009

    in Malware Removal

    Posted

    ok I have a neighbor who has been infected with at least antivirus 2009

    The issue, Malware bytes will not install, it comes up with the choose language and a splash of the next screen before it is is killed. Jeff recommended that and I followed the site that rename malware bytes install, and runs some batch files,, but still no joy, no joy in safe mode. I have tried hijackthis.. no joy can't install even when renamed.

    Cdrom does not work in safe mode, when you try to explore it takes you to My documents.

    This is a nasty little bugger, and I am ready to just format and start over, but its not my computer and they have not backed up..

    I can install http://www.pctools.com/spyware-doctor/ but they want $30 to remove it, I have no real issue, but I do not trust programs that will cure for a cost as that is same tactic that antivirus 2009 uses.

    so any suggestions are heeded.

    Thanks

  24. Vista Mice Issue

    in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP

    Posted

    no they are two different brands, Microsoft Mouse Dell Keyboards, but good theory.. Plus its just a USB hub un the keyboard, very few make HID only usb hubs anymore. Its a defective mouse detection system.. I have plugged in now 6 different mice, Ranging from Logictec to Dell, Two Microsoft Mice and even a Mac Mighty Mouse (That was for fun to see what would happen)

    I have all the WU but I am not sure how it handles drivers.. and this could be something they fixed in 32bit world but ignored in 64bit. Windows 7 Beta has the same issues on this laptop, so maybe its a bad driver for this dell laptop, my old 630 did not have this issue with vista (32)
