Copy a Single File to Avoid Re-Activating Windows XP No No No, a thousand times no! People report this again and again and again on the Internet without ever checking if it works. This is a myth. It does not work. wpa.dbl essentially does what people say—it stores the information of the activation, but this information is used to confirm registration—not to save it. This myth is perpetuated based on the false assumption that Windows XP installation and activations are based only on hardware existing at the time of the install—that is only half the story. There are other factors involved in an installation including date, time and a randomly generated 50-character hash at the time of an installation. When you attempt to follow this "tip" the [wpa.dbl] and the [wpa.bak] file do not match the installation id generated at the time of the new installation and this results in a need to re-activate. It does not work.

How to hide files in JPEG pictures If you’re looking to hide files on your PC hard drive, you may have read about ways to encrypt folders or change the attributes on a file so that they cannot be accessed by prying eyes.

UDK - Unreal Development Kit - Epic Games JBIG JBIG is based on a form of arithmetic coding patented by IBM, known as the Q-coder, but using a minor tweak patented by Mitsubishi, resulting in what became known as the QM-coder. It bases the probabilities of each bit on the previous bits and the previous lines of the picture. In order to allow compressing and decompressing images in scanning order, it does not reference future bits. JBIG also supports progressive transmission with small (around 5%) overheads. Patents[edit] Patent licence requirements for JBIG1 implementations by IBM, Mitsubishi and AT&T prevented the codec to become widely implemented in open-source software. There are now no more JBIG1 patents in force: the last ones to expire were Mitsubishi's patents in Canada and Australia (on 25 February 2011) and the submarine patent US5404140 in the United States (on 4 April 2012).[1] See also[edit] References[edit] External links[edit]

Future proof » Tim’s laptop service manuals Have you come to this webpage looking for Toshiba laptop service manuals? Please read this. Introduction In the same vein as in my driver guide, I’ve started finding laptop service manuals and hosting them on my site. These are the professional, official documents published by the various laptop makers, either for their own technicians or for the use of the general public. They generally detail the exact list of parts in each model of laptop – often down to individual screws, if you happen to have lost some and need to know the exact size for a replacement – and describe the procedure for disassembling and reassembling the entire machine, including panels, RAM, wireless cards, keyboards and touchpads and LCD screens, all the way down to the motherboard itself. They’re difficult to find – you have to know where to look in their support site, or come up with the right Google search string, or beg and steal from someone you know in the industry.
