So you’ve found yourself wondering why you can bypass the wait timer downloads, but haven’t had any success trying to bypass the HotFile.com hourly limit? This guide is for you. We will quickly go over how the HotFile.com hourly limit works, and then explain how to bypass the HotFile.com hourly limit.

First, you will need to consider this. HotFile.com uses two methods of limitation for downloading on their site. The first, the download wait timer, requires you to wait a small number of seconds before the download link becomes available for submitting. This is controlled by JavaScript, and can be bypassed using my guide Hotfile.com Timer No Wait Hack. Continue Reading

You wish you didn’t have to copy files and folders twice on your Linux web server, and consistently have to come up with a way to keep the duplicate files or directories synchronized?

A symbolic link in Linux or Unix is a virtual pointer to another directory or file. It acts in all ways as if it were the original file or folder. A symlink will appear in any directory listing (ls -al), and will indicate the original directory or file. All child directories of a symlink directory will inherit the symbolic link’s directory path when accessed through the symlink. Any changes made to the symbolically linked file or directory, will occur in the original actual file or directory, as the symbolic link just points straight to it. Continue Reading

Officer Symbolic Link says he is “not the real hero”. Rather, Officer Symbolic Link said that Linux Torvald and Solaris were “the ones who [we] should be thanking” for the saving of Mr. Linux from almost certain data corruption and death.

The incident happened in the Down Town File Systems area known to town citizens as “EXT3″. An operator for Open Source Organization wishing to remain anonymous commented that he was “glad to see Linux safe and sound with as few shards of duplicates as possible”. Linux had been running stable in EXT3 for many months until yesterday evening, shortly after Peak Network Traffic Hour had passed, when he noticed someone copying him in every bit immediately behind him.

If you are a WordPress user and you use the plug-in “Twitme” to automatically post any new blog entries to your WordPress account, then there is something you need to know.

It is unwritten law that if you are going to collect someone’s personal information through an application, or web application that you will notify them accordingly.

Unfortunately, not everyone follows this unwritten law, which is now standard and considered a moral obligation of website, and application authors and publishers. Here we take a look at one good example of this standard being ignored from a popular plug-in for WordPress, “Twitme”. Continue Reading

The chmod command in Linux is a very valuable and often necessary function for fixing permissions of directories and their contents on a publicly accessible server.

When you are needing to change linx octet permissions for many folders and child folders and their contents, the -R recursive switch is of great value, as it saves you the trouble of having to switch directories and execute the chmod command time and time again.

Unfortunately, chmod is only able to execute commands on input parameters passed along to it specifying matches in the file name, and whether or not to chmod recursively or not. If your desire is to only chmod directories, but not the files, you have a problem.

To bypass the chmod command limitation, we will be utilizing stdin to stdout capability of the find and chmod commands.  Since find and chmod take advantage of  standard input / standard output capability, we are able to have them cross communicate sequentially in order to selectively pass along files to be chmod’ed which match our find query.
