daily hacks from your IS boy

hi guys in case msn live messenger doesn't work in school(or at home in my case), do the following

go to run, type in Open with Notepad: C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\ho­sts

Add these 2 lines to the bottom:

65.54.239.80 messenger.hotmail.com
65.54.239.80 dp.msnmessenger.akadns.net

this basically forces msn to log onto this msn server instead of trying to connect to all the other servers. should make it work. however if this specific server goes offline/down, just remove those two lines and it'll connect to any open servers again...

hope it solves some of our frustrating msn problems.
in any case, you can use www.meebo.com

thanks cai for the tip..


annnddd bonus hack:
wanna watch cable tv on your computer? stream mtv/hbo/starmovies cinemax discovery yadayaydaydaydyaydaydadadada


go to www.tvants.com
download the tvants program and just start streaming!
site in chinese though so it sucks. decipher heliographics (however you spell it)
can watch world cup just got ten second lag so when you're wathcing on your com and your neighbours cheer you can cheer ten seconds later
