First things first before your rusty brain can corrupt all your data:

Remove the hard disk from the bays

Use a paper clip to activate at the back of the device

Login using admin, password is blank.

Enable network settings

Add corresponding shares

If you are using boot from usb, remove the usb disk to default to telnet without user

Configure root

pwconv
passwd
usermod -s /ffp/bin/sh root
pwck
grpck
login
store-passwd.sh
reboot

Now rejoice and dust the old memory regularly.

Create a symbol
Choose button
Select the button
Assign the action below


findMore.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, callLink);
function callLink(event:MouseEvent):void {
var url:String = "http://www.your-url.com";
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
try {
navigateToURL(request, '_blank');
} catch (e:Error) {
trace("Error occurred!");
}
}

diskutil partitionDisk disk2 1 MBRFormat “Journaled HFS+” MacData 100%

Start photoshop while holding Command + Option and then select the Data disk instead of Startup or the primary system disk.

Press ok and you are good to go.

Wolfram Alpha is probably a project designed by scientists that came from a science school.

It displays numbers, graphs, semantics and tables. I love how it presents information discovery like in the case of the term ‘apple’ where it displays the company and then the next option is about the fruit. I don’t know if it is using some form of page ranking or trending. Well apple as a brand is stronger compared to the fruit.

One other thing, I am stuck on the page and I get this feeling of being contained in a box. I guess it is backward to get all that I want from a single website. It feels like being in a library on your own with a huge book.

But then again, it is good to see an alternative to a growing behemont like Google. I just hope that this in not just a hype like Cuil.

Tx error
Changing the cable removed the errors

Seeing it work smoothly? Pricey ;-)

Not so random generator ;-)
