Install Winrar (UnRar) on CentOS Linux Easily – CLI Version

March 6th, 2010

It took me an hour or so to find out how to install which was a pain, so for anyone having trouble here is the code your need. Replace the wget with the latest version to install the most recent, up-to date version.

These instructions are for the CLI, terminal version so no GUI here.

# wget http://rarlab.com/rar/rarlinux-3.7.1.tar.gz
# tar xvzf rarlinux*
# cd rar
# make
# make install

Block Windows Activation Technologies (KB971033) – Windows 7

February 17th, 2010

You may have heard about the new (impending) Windows 7 update that will call back to Microsoft servers every 90 days, this doesn’t sound like something I want my PC doing to be perfectly honest.

If you don’t wish to install this update then be on the look out for update KB971033 (aka WAT) when your Windows pc does a windows update, then all you have to do is right click and select ignore update.

From Ewandoo:

Fortunately Microsoft has made it easy for the people who don’t want this update to uninstall it. If you haven’t downloaded and installed this update then you can disable it using the following method:

Block Windows 7 Activation Update KB971033
1-Go to Start Menu and write Windows Update in the Start Menu Search
2-Select Windows Update to go to Windows Update program
3-Select Optional Updates
4-Search for the update labeled “Update for Windows 7 (KB971033)”
5-Right click it and select Hide Update

If you have already installed this update. Don’t worry! Let me tell you how to uninstall this update the safer way.
1-Go to Control Panel –> Programs –> View installed Updates
2-Search for “Update for Windows 7 (KB971033)”
3-Right click it and select Uninstall.
4-This will uninstall this activation update and you’ll be able to use your Windows 7 without any overloads from Microsoft

Halomods.com and The Halo Modding Future

February 13th, 2010

I recently went to check in with the goings on over at Halomods.com and to my surprise I was greeted with this message

To the guys at rework3d and anyone else who was a fan of halomods.
I’ve decided to discontinue the site for reasons you can probably figure out yourself. If anyone is interested in taking over the domains and the rest of the site, send a message outlining your future plans for the domain\site to hm.sourceguy@gmail.com. Whoever has the best plans for the site can have it. Deadline: 20 feb.

-SG

Now I knew there were some big changes that went on, there was a new domain and stuff but I was very shocked to see it complete down with everything gone!
