The Swamp!

I found myself digging the issue this morning, I had to connect someone from Canada to our Terminal Server using TSG (Terminal Services Gateway) on an iPad.

After digging for a while, I finally found Microsoft themselves created a client for the Mac.

Joomla Full Text RSS Feeds for Free?!

I know you've been all looking for this as I have.

Here's the solution, follow carefully, and enjoy :)

1. Download and install 4RSS Extension, its in the Joomla Extension Directory. This plugin allows you to add rss feeds that will automatically be downloaded and implented as your own articles on your site, But it will take them "as is" and wont go and fetch the full text.  Such extension is not available for free.

So how many times have you built a PHP form processing script and ended up with dozens of duplicate database entries, duplicate mail sent etc...?

I've been diggin this for the last 48 hours and it was hell. the net is flooded with snippets of code that just won't do it!

Mainly javascript.  All the wiseasses will come to you and say "Just add onclick="this.button=disabled;" to your submit button and this should do it".

Well I've got news for you -- This WILL disable the button upon click but won't submit the form.

The following code, is the only thing that works, this after days of digging. trust me!

Make your button like this:

<input type="button" value="Submit" onclick="this.form.submit();this.disabled=true;this.value='Processing'" />

This will submit the form, disable the button and turn the text in it to "Proccessing" so that the user will understand what the hell is going on.

Enjoy!

Ever wanted to copy your entire filesystem into another including all the links and permissions?

Say we have a filesystem in /filesystem.

We wanna duplicate that filesystem to a new filesystem in /destination.

One thing that happens sometimes to just about anyone, is when you forget your administrator password and you can no longer access your Windows XP/2000/2003 machine, or you just wanna hack someone else's :)

Anyhow, there are a few simple and more complicated methods to doing this.

Sometimes you have the need to change your windows XP Serial number, wether because you had an illegal copy and bought a license, or you are ghost-installing a bounch of similar computers and you want to install each's individual key.

There are two methods I know of for doing this:

Method 1: Microsoft's Official Tool

Microsoft's Official Windows Product Key Update Tool (for changing keys only):
