Cross-Browser Plugins?
I'm curious how plugins could be built in a cross browser fashion. I've been researching how to accomplish this, and it seems that different browsers all have their own methods.
For instance:
Safari and Chrome want me to use webkit.
Internet explorer wants me to use Add-Ons or Browser Helper Objects (why couldn't they just call them plugins?).
So, how is this typically done? Flash, java, shockwave, and embedded pdfs all manage to get this idea off the ground.

Magic Vanishing Data
Can the installation of a DVD-ROM drive wipe a hard drive? Last night I almost drew that conclusion after my secondary hard drive seemingly dumped all of its data (298GB of 299 free it says).
However, programs like PC Inspector File Recovery showed that "clusters" of data could be recovered. The problem is that I have no idea what these files are until (and sometimes even after) I attempt to open them.
This leads me to wonder if something I once read about called
symbolic links could be responsible. My question is--How do I restore my symbolic links? Or can I? (Or worse, is this unrelated?)

BYOND and Ping
I've long wanted a way to ping clients connected to my server in BYOND so that I can know who the culprits are for a slow (aka laggy) experience.
I came across this old section of code hunting through another computer tonight:
client/var/delay=0
client/var/timeout=0
client/proc/_delay()
src.delay=0
while(!timeout)
src.delay++
sleep(1)
client/verb/_Import()
spawn(-1)
src._delay()
src.timeout = ~shell("ping 192.168.1.100")
src.delay-=40
if(src.delay<0)
src.delay=0
if(delay<10)
world<<"Timeout: 0[delay]"
else
world<<"Timeout: [delay]" |
This little snippet of mine was a test to see if I could fake a lag delay test for developing games.
It works with some degree of inaccuracy, but it's far from perfect. Does any one have an idea how such a thing could be done? And if they do, could I borrow it?

Hacker on LAN
How can I kick a computer or ban it from my network if I just have a WRT54G for a linksys router. He's able to log on to the router and delete or pages even after a hard reset. Today for the first time I'm able to view him in my workgroup.
I suspect he has something on one of my computers on my network, but AVG reports nothing, and hijack this reports nothing.
The last time I checked the log the ip address pointed to Amsterdam. But I'm starting to suspect its an evil neighbor (this guy has had more domestic disputes in 1 year for beating his girlfriends than anyone I've ever seen on cops).
If I had a way to attack his computer for his malicious intent (or for keeping me up in the morning at 3AM with his disorderly conduct), I'd be thrilled.
I know bare minimum network related stuff. So even resources that seem to be quick and to the point about networking and common ways of hacking a router would be useful for me (I'm useing WPA2 and a highly secure password (which I've changed more times than I care to think about)).
Help!
