Crack a Lock
If your mother ever locks her bicycle and happens to throw away the key, this is what you'd have to do :)

VMWare MAC-Address-Pool
Just posting this in case someone does a search via google…
To assign a fixed MAC-Adress to a VM, you'll have to edit the matching .vmx and do the following things:
1. uncomment everything involving "ethernet0.generated";
2. insert these two lines:
ethernet0.address = 00:50:56:0D:xx:xx
ethernet0.addressType = static
(you can chose whatever hex you want for xx:xx)

Identify Your Wii DVD Chip Using the Wii Serial#
Over here is a table which should make it easy to see if your Wii uses the D2B Chipset which is incompatible to current Wii modchips.
Mine uses the old compatible one (Serial# LEH 106XXXXX)
It's LART Time Baby!!
A Luser Attitude Readjustment Tool (abbreviated LART) is "something large, heavy and painful, used to respond appropriately to particularly annoying lusers."; A LART can by definition be anything from a pat on the back, to a small tactical nuclear attack, depending on how much adjustment the attitude needs. Names for specific types of LARTs include cluebat, clue stick, Clueisville Slugger, clue-by-four and Board of Education. The abbreviation was retrofitted to Lumber Assisted Reallocation as Treefood out of respect to the Lumber Cartel. See also Banhammer.

Trying Out Qumana
Just wanted to give you a quick Link to the offline-Blogging Editor I am testing out at the Moment. It's called "Quamana" and it's doing a fine job so far. As you can see Image upload is working nicely (using wordress integrated features and not FTP). It's available over at http://www.qumana.com/ for OSX and Windows. They've got some advertising programm going as well which is neatly integrated into the client (but as I'd prefer adsense)
Attack on DNS-Rootservers
And that's how it looks like :D
