Who says we are a tech site only?
Today I got my paintball gun in the mail and all my other equipment. My first reaction was sweet! But then after thinking about it I realized that it needed some more tech. The gun itself has a e-trigger allowing full auto and 3 round burst fire but thats not good enough. Currently I am looking into helmet cams to attach to either the gun itself or the mask that will allow me to take some killer paintball videos.
With that being said I am gonna go shoot some more and think of ways to do this and get back to you guys with what I find

3rd birthday and the day TMS passes the 400 mark. This post is the 400th post made on themodshop in the time wordpress has been on here.
Statistics wise I am owning Dark in posts…

Hmm kind of unbalanced is it not?
In the these 400 posts the writing style of myself and dark has changed quite a bit. As we grow older we start using larger words and spell better 
Here is to 400 more posts!

Oh how far we have come in these 3 long years. You probably do not know this but August 8th 2009 is the 3rd birthday for TheModShop. Now TMS has not always been a blog but it has always been run by myself [and sometimes Dark when he gets his ass on here to post something].

Ok this one right here is a epic fail.
Here is the story… Guy goes into store and buys a pack of cigarettes. Guy gets home and checks his account only to find that he was charged $23,148,855,308,184,500.00 oh ya and a $15 overdraft fee. [Sub Fail: Only $15? My bank charges me $30]
Yes that is a HUGE number and this guy was not the only one. There were over 10,000 visa transactions that had this happen to them.
In the end all the transactions were reversed however the error was caused by a programming glitch.
Via Slashdot
What is interesting is that the amount charged actually reveals the type of programming error that caused the problem. 23,148,855,308,184,500.00 * 100 (I’m guessing this is how the number is actually stored) is 2314885530818450000. Convert 2314885530818450000 to hexadecimal, and you end up with 20 20 20 20 20 20 12 50. Most C/C++ programmers see the error now … hex 20 is a space. So spaces were stuffed into a field where binary zero should have been.
Yes this is also a fail. I am no programmer but that seems like a major fail in itself that you would put a space rather than a 0. Oh well at least my account didnt get hit by it

Do you have a need for 5 file / web servers? Do you have very little space? Do you have enough cash to buy 5 iPhones and a nifty rack for them? Well then the product above is just for you!
IT Media
In recent months some have chirped that the iPhone is really a sort netbook in disguise, and now with the debut of a new prototype, the iPhone may start doing double duty as an ultra portable server solution. Created by Japan’s FreeBit, the iPhone server farm prototype houses up to five iPhones and is really just a showcase for the company’s Serversman software.
The free software supports the iPhone, iPod Touch and Windows Mobile phones allowing you to use your phone for network storage, as a file viewer or as a mini-web server. You can see a video explanation and demo of the entire set-up here.
Interesting idea however I will stick with my p4 file server

Ok I have to bring this to the attention of everyone that thinks using nulled scripts is fun.
There is a site that recently posted an ad on a forum I moderate. The site is called nulledhost.
Now the script they are using to provide the hosting to people [WHMCS] is nulled!
Most of the time I dont care about people using cracked / nulled software because it does not harm others [besides taking a bit of money out of the devs pocket]
However in this case the WHMCS install that is nulled can have possible other issues. [as well as any other nulled script]
There are a whole bunch of possible issues such as the person who nulled it could have injected a backdoor into the script allowing them to harvest all the client details / addresses / emails…ect..ect thus anyone providing information to this company could have there details stolen.
Now if the company accepts payments in the form of credit cards and not paypal [I have seen it] then that also poses a risk of clients credit card details getting released.
So the moral of the story here is. If you cant afford a script then get one that is free.
[Just a note I have mutiple paid scripts such as whmcs and clientexec and have seen nulled scripts get exploited faster than they make a double cheeseburger at mcdonalds]
