Yesterday, it was reported that AOL stupidly released over 20 million search records from over 500,000 AOL users. This of course violates several privacy laws and caused a huge outbreak of hesteria and mayham across the internet yesterday.
Well, what’s so “exclusive” about this post I’m writing to you right now you ask? Many people and developers got their hands on that data which AOL released, of course…and a lot of them have already produced mechanisms to search through the data and analyze it for seo purposes. Drooling yet?? Want to see a few of the sites made already?? Well, I’m not selfish so I’ll release a few. ENJOY!!

I’ll link you to more as I find them. Say thank you now!

“An unbelievable security flaw in locks, this is a very good lockpicking technique, works on at least 90% of all pin locks, very interesting, the man in the video is Barry Wels, a lock and security extrodinaire.

This is a relatively old concept and this technique was mostly used with pick guns, not many people knew that this could be done with a key, but it requires no pick gun or any special tools and no lock picking concept to get this to work. All you need is a key blank that fits a lock and a file or key cutter and some craft ability.”

So I figured out how to remove the text that says “Name is in your extended network.” recently and now I’ll post it here for you. NOTE: This just removes the text, not the whole table. Just simply place this code anywhere in your profile:

<style="text/css">span.blacktext12 {
visibility:visible !important;
background-color:transparent;
font-size:0px; letter-spacing:-0.5px;
width:435px; height:75px; display:block !important; }
span.blacktext12 img {display:none;}</style>

Well, for some reason or another I’m sure some of you would rather not let people leave comments or not be able to find the link to add a comment in your Myspace profile. Well, if that’s so then I have a piece of code that may be of use to you. But please realize that a diligent ”Myspacer” may still find a way to add their comments. Just simply place the following code anywhere in your profile:

<style type=”text/css”>td.text td.text td td a, .redlink, td.text td.text td b a {visibility:visible!important;}
td.text td.text td a {visibility:hidden;}</style><a href=”http://www.beneskew.com” target=”_blank”><img src=”http://www.beneskew.com/img/myspace2.jpg” alt=”Myspace Codes & Stuff” style=”position:absolute; left:0px; top: 0px; z-index:9;” border=”0″ /></a>

I found one of the dopest little gadgets I’ve seen in a long while! Its a double anonymous browser. Basically, it gets a webpages contents through a radnom set of proxies, sends it to the server and redisplays the results to you…so its completely anonymous!
But keep in mind because the results are shown “inline” in your browser, images that are displayed will be displayed via your own I.P. address, so if you want to be ultra anonymous, turn off images in your browser.
What can you do with it?
Check a domain from several different countries for connectivity..
Check a possibly virus infected page. (The results come securely so no javascript will be initiated i.e. you can check a possibly dangerous page without risking getting infected.)

P.S.
The country/city/proxy and port used to connect will be displayed in the upper left of the resulting page. …Here’’s the link http://tools.webspacemania.com/proxy/, enjoy!

Are you sick of your Myspace page constantly getting screwed up by people posting huge pictures in your comments?? I sure am! Well, I found a fix so you won’t have to ever worry about that again!! It’s quite simple really. Just put the following code anywhere in your profile:

<style type=”text/css”>
td.text td.text table table table td a img {width:100px;}
td.text td.text table table table td div img {width:80px;}
td.text td.text table table td img {width:260px; max-width:260px; width:auto;}
td.text td.text table table td div img {width:80px;}
* html td.text td.text table table td img {width:260px;}
* html td.text td.text table table td a img {width:90px;}
* html td.text td.text table table td div img {width:80px;}

You’ve seen the use of Post-It Notes around everywhere i’m sure…like in school, at work, even in your own home. But have you ever thought about using them on your desktop? Now, i’m not talking about literally on your computer with real Post-It Notes…i’m talking the Post-It Notes software. I recently found out about it from my technical school which I attend…and I have to say I really like them. Before I found them i’ve always had paper handy right in front of me…but no more! No more wasted paper! You should go check them out if your curious…why not? It’s free!! Here’’s a link for you!

Sorry about the freshness but I have recently moved to a dedicated server and am in the process of moving everything over so please bare with me.
