How to install TrueCrypt 4.3a on Fedora 7

Submitted by Yousif on Sat, 09/06/2007 - 7:02pm.

We are going to compile TrueCrypt from source so first grab TrueCrypt's source code.

Extract the source code and navigate to the Linux folder

tar xfz truecrypt-4.3a-source-code.tar.gz
cd truecrypt-4.3a-source-code
cd Linux

Truecrypt needs to compile a kernel module during the build process. Unfortunately the kernel headers included with Fedora 7 (in the kernel-devel package) are missing the dm.h header file which is needed for compiling the kernel module.

NTLM Authorization Proxy Server for Windows

What is 'NTLM Authorization Proxy Server'?
'NTLM Authorization Proxy Server' (APS) is a proxy software that allows you to authenticate via an MS Proxy Server using the proprietary NTLM protocol. Since version 0.9.5 APS has an ability to behave as a standalone proxy server and authenticate http clients at web servers using NTLM method. It can change arbitrary values in your client's request header so that those requests will look like they were created by MS IE. It is written in Python v1.5.2 language and compiled to EXE with py2exe.

Microsoft XNA Game Studio Express 1.0 released!

Submitted by Yousif on Sun, 17/12/2006 - 4:01pm.
XNA Game studio was released recently after nine months of community preview (public beta testing). Some of you might remember Managed DirectX and how easy it was to develop games using the .NET framework with it. Managed DirectX was a group of wrappers that enabled .NET programmers to interact with and use the advanced graphical capabilities of DirectX in Windows. Prior to Managed DirectX, .NET programmers used to directly P/Invoke into DirectX's DLLs and we all know how painful it is to do that especially to beginners.

After releasing Managed DirectX, Microsoft started developing Managed DirectX 2.0 -- a version with many improvements over the previous version of the framework. After starting public Beta testing of the 2.0 version, Microsoft decided that support and development will be ceased for it. Many felt betrayed after investing allot of time learning and developing programs that target the next version of Managed DirectX 2.0. However, immediately after this announcement, Microsoft announced the XNA framework.

First I would like to apologize to those who tried the previously published steps and missed up their IE6. Running IE7s.exe should fix everything for you.

Install multiple versions of IE on your PC

mutiple ie thumbEver wanted to test your website in various versions of Internet Explorer?

It is possible to run Internet Explorer in standalone mode without having to over-write previous versions thanks to Joe Maddalone who came up with a way of achieving that in November 2003. Basically, Internet Explorer is run by exploiting a known workaround to DLL hell - which was introduced in Windows 2000 and later versions - called DLL redirection.

Manfred Staudinger perfected the standalone versions by adding IE version numbers to the title bar of the standalone browser window. Moreover, by removing the "IE" key in the registry subkey [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Version Vector] Internet Explore defaulted to respecting conditional comments based on the version number prebuilt in the program.

Being a linux user doesn't mean that you can't enjoy a good looking Desktop. GNOME for example has a nicely drawn and simple windows. KDE on the other hand are constantly improving the user-interface and the latest version has window transparency. In fact, if you look at it from a distance you'd think it's a Windows Vista PC :D
