Guide to streamripping Stream ripping refers to saving audio files, usually in mp3 format, from internet radio streams to your hard drive.

This article will provide you with the information you need to dive right into the stream ripping world to legally download mp3 audio files to your computer.

Not everyone does it the same way and there is no particular “right” way to do it.

Like many important concepts, Web 2.0 doesn't have a hard boundary, but rather, a gravitational core.

PureText Home Page Have you ever copied some text from a web page or a document and then wanted to paste it as simple text into another application without getting all the formatting from the original source? PureText makes this simple by adding a new Windows hot-key (default is WINDOWS+V) that allows you to paste text to any application without formatting. After running PureText.exe, you will see a "PT" icon appear near the clock on your task bar. The easiest way to use PureText is to simply use its hot-key to paste text instead of using the standard CTRL+V hot-key that is built into most Windows applications. What PureText Will and Will Not Do PureText only removes rich formatting from text. Download the latest version here: PureText doesn't use a setup program. If you wish to ever uninstall PureText, first make sure PureText is not running. What is new in version 3.0 Fixed issue that prevented many Hot-Keys from working on Windows 8.

Webroulette.com: The Best Web Roulette Sites and Random Links domo arigato, Mr. Roboto... I use my Pocket PC quite a bit for games, mainly old NES titles on the PocketNester emulator. But the hardware buttons on the iPAQ are too small, and it can be hard to use certain combinations. My solution for this was to interface an original Nintendo controller to my PPC. For this mod, I used a cheap IR keyboard (Belkin F8U1500) and wired the directional keys and PPC hardware buttons (circled below) directly to the NES. Step 1: Install the KB software on your handheld. Step 2: Remove the circuitry from the keyboard, you won't need the flexible circuit under the keys, just the PCBs. Step 3: Dismantle your Nintendo controller. Step 4: Each of the controller's buttons are connected to a common ground, and a different pin on the IC. Step 5: Now you'll need to map out where the buttons on the keyboard lead. Step 6: It's time to wire the Belkin board to the NES board. Step 7: Add a switch to the circuit if you like, and dremel out some space in the casing so that it closes neatly. Email me:
