How bloody stupid can a guy possibly be?

Ok, if there is one person I cant possibly understand it would be president Ahmadinejad of Iran. I mean, he's so stupid, that I wont even add his name to my recognized words list on MS Word. I mean seriously, he must have an IQ of maybe 20 or 30, to actually say and believe that the holocaust didn't happen, and now he says the September 11th attacks didn't happen either. I just heard an interview with him on 60 minutes, and he wouldn't even directly answer any of the interviewers questions. The reporter kept having to say "Can I take that as a no sir?"

Dev and Halo Extra Files

Hey people, I play halo a ton, almost everyday, and for those of you who make movies, or have lan parties with your friends, I thought you may want to be able to teleport places, and spawn vehicles when you want to.
so, i uploaded some of my favourite files to a server, so enjoy!

P.S. The text files are helpful, as well, they include command lists.

P.P.S. My halo ID is Laser, and my xfire is Laser1092... in case your wondering.

Here's The Link.

So... What's wrong with Microsoft?

Well... there are many things wrong with Microsoft. For one thing, it is their support. Below is everything that "sucks" about their support.

1. There are relatively NO Americans operating the telephones.
2. It isn't possible to receive any support without paying 35 bucks per request...and you still have to talk to the Indian guys
3. On their website, you can never find anything... for instance, I was looking for a way to ask for support for my Halo PC game, and I could not find anything. Not even a forum.
4. They are too oriented on getting more and more money... don't you think gates has enough? They make you pay for everything...and not everything works!
5. Most of the Indian guys who help you on the phone have no clue what they are doing... they just read from a script.

Some information for the reader:

• Please add any opinions in the comments (no spamming please)
• when I refer somewhat rudely to indian guys on the phone, I only am talking about the ones who don't know english. Indian people in general are extremely smart, nice people.

The "I'm initiative" by windows live

The "I'm initiative" by windows live is a new feature for windows live messenger 8.1 (and the new beta found here: http://get.live.com/betas/messenger_betas). It is really cool, because it alows you to rais money for charitys, or any cause you like, without spending a penny. It helps you to do what you do already, and adds to it. The only thing you have to do, is continue to instant message your friends using windows live messenger. Then, just change your IM name to one of the causes listed here: http://im.live.com/Messenger/IM/Causes/
and below:
*red+u American Red Cross
*bgca Boys & Girls Clubs of America
*hsus Humane Society of the United States
*naf National AIDS Fund
*mssoc National MS Society
*9mi ninemillion.org
*sierra Sierra Club
*help StopGlobalWarming.org
*komen Susan G. Komen for the Cure
*unicef U.S. Fund for UNICEF

for example, say your current IM nickname is Bill, all you have to do is change it to Bill*red+u (or any of the others above) and your done. (dont worry..It comes out looking like the i'm in this picture: http://www.techshout.com/images/im-microsoft.jpg)
What this does, is it makes it so that microsoft will automatically donate to the charity you put in your name, every time you send a message to one of your friends.
Cool right? Well get started IMing!

Get around blocked instant messanging

Hey, if anyone has aim, yim, or msn, then heres how to get passed any blockage put up by a system admin. it usually works, but really good admins can block it.
option 1: use a u3 flashdrive, preferably from scandisk, they cost about 20 dollars at walmart. you can then install trillian on it, and run your messanger from that.
option 2: go to koolim.com if they have blocked meebo.com and aim/aol.com

Trillian Astra available to public

Trillian astra is currently in alpha stage, meaning you have to sign up to test its functionality, but, for the average user, who only wants to use it for im, and not for testing, anyone can download and use it. There is also a way now to download and install the program using a patch. With this method anyone can use this application, not just alpha testers. Ill post more details on this later. I also have a U3 installer of trillian astra for USB Drives.

New look, feel, and name

Hey again, Ive just changed my blog address from twwmp.blogspot.com to atechkid.blogspot.com because I just became an IT Technician. Now Im here for tech help and tech info. I'm also working on a forum so that i can help people with their issues when they need help.
Oh, I also gave my blog a new look too, Im still constantly inproving, getting better everyday!

A+ Certification

Hey all, just got certified by comptia to be an A+ Technician! It's so cool, Now i can work at geek squad at best buy or something. Anyway, I got certified by taking an A+ course and then I took both the essentials and it technician test. They werent to hard if you read the book cover to cover, and you got to study a lot! It took me 6 weeks, and I got some good scores :). The max for each test is 900, and the minimum is 100. Passing score is 675 for the first test, and 700 for the second.
I got a 770 on the first test, and 850 on the second. The class was really fun, and I recommend that anyone who wants to be a technician take the test, or even the class. If you dont want to take the course, you only want to study alone, then you can just buy a book from me at a lower cost, and ill ship it to you. Just ask in the comments.

Run Macintosh OS on a PC

Yes, its true, you can run the macintosh (osx 10.4.8) operating system on a pc (like a dell). Keep in mind that only apple developers are allowed to do this legally as of right now, but hopefully itll be available to all soon. To do this, please see testing grounds (another blog) for instructions and more.

Play the Game with no CD

Hey everyone, finally i have accomplished the impossible! I can now play halo combat evolved on my computer, w/o a cd! Here is how i did it:
Step 1:
Download a copy of daemon tools at this address: http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/download.php?mode=ViewCategory&catid=5
Step 2:
Install daemon tools (uncheck second check box while installing)
Step 3:
get an image of your game, for halo, post on my site that you want the file and we'll discuss a method of getting it to you (dont worry, its free of charge and spyware)
Step 4:
install halo (you will need a valid product key*)
step 6:
run daemon tools, and right click the taskbar icon and go to emulation>turn all options on
step 7: right click again, and go to the virtual menu, then mount a file. the file that you are mounting is the halo image that you downloaded in step 3.

enjoy running halo with no cd

*There are ways to play halo without actually buying halo and getting a product key. I will not list these methods because i do not endorse them because they are not legal. It is only 20 dollars, and the game is worth it!

Edit: Replace step 3 with this:

PS3 or Xbox 360?

Who knows which to get? Almost every day at school someone walks up to me just to ask me (the techy), what they should get; a ps3 or a 360. Now, i could sit down with them and give them a long, incredibly detailed explaination discribing to them the many variables that they need to know and all of the things that each system can do which would then lead them to believe that either system would fit their needs. Usually however they ask for the quick version, in which i describe to them only fractions of what each system can do which leads them to like or dislike the wrong system.
Now comes another question; what is a next generation console? The makers and consumers keep saying that these are the best, these are amazing. what about three years from now? Will there be a tri-generation console era (or something like that)? Will it have the amazing yet complex Xbox 720? What about the ps4? Oh, and you cant forget the nintendo shii! Every few years another one of these over priced games comes out. it seems like the makers want you to waste your money, its just ridiculous. Okay, now honestly, after reading this, will you still buy one? I know what my answer is. Yes. I too am intertwined in this spell, this trap, cast upon me by the pressures of our time. I however, will not buy a next generation console in this generation. I am going to wait until it becomes a this-generation console. I can wait and get a 360 when it only costs $150 in a few years. You all know that its gonna happen. Tell me, whats wrong with that?
