getfreeware url database 22Jan08
getfreeware is a very promising blog/url database truth about enzyte concerning freeware software. Freeware links are well organised using different categories. I’ll personally use it next time I’ll have to find some decent adware/spyware-free tool instead of google-searching of ages. According to Ivan, “Intention of this website is to provide visitors with the best possibile free software for their needs. And search for that sofware wont take you any further than few clicks away from this web site”.

I received the following email from Tim Westergren (founder of Pandora) this morning. It states clearly that Pandora will stop streaming to the UK as of January the 15th. hi, it’s Tim, This is an email I hoped I would never have to send. As you probably know, in July of 2007 we had to block usage of Pandora outside the U.S. because of the lack of a viable license structure for Internet radio streaming in other countries. It was a terrible day. We did however hold out some hope that a solution might exist for the UK, so we left it unblocked as we worked diligently with the rights organizations to negotiate an economically workable license fee.

I didn’t give up. I did some research on proxy servers and web anonymity and I was really happy to discover a cool set of tools that could do the job. Those tools are FoxyProxy (firefox addon), Tor & Vidalia (it is included in Tor). Installation and Setup is simple and it takes a few minutes if you follow the steps below. Filed under: Anonymity | 19 Comments I noticed recently while being part in the development of a web-banking system, that Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 (Longhorn) are using a different resource DLL when it comes to certificate web enrollment. From a file point of view we have CERTENROLL.DLL on Vista & Longhorn while previous versions of Windows use XENROLL.DLL. The above means that any code previously written that uses XENROLL no longer works on Vista/Longhorn clients.
It also means that the Windows 2000/2003 certificate authority web enrollment pages will not allow Vista and Longhorn clients to enroll a certificate. What you will have to do is replace your Windows 2003 CA web certificate pages with the ones from Longhorn. Those can be found in the Longhorn beta VHD provided by Microsoft. More information about this can be found here.
Here is a javascript code example on how to use CERTENROLL.
