Elmcomsoft has a variety of really good brute-force and dictionary-based password attacks on the full Office suite, including a distributed version to run in the cloud (which I wrote about some time ago). As cool as the software is, it doesn’t allow the removal of cell-based or sheet-based passwords (which kinda sucks), and the password.xla file which seems to be the big thing from staxx.co ...
You can check on how much radiation your mobile phone uses here – the lower the better!

In this example, Gaming SA hasn’t posted since Dec 2008, but is being referenced for a post from Feb 2010. THe top link goes to the site directly, and a framed Afrigator in the first a ...
In Issue 57 of the City of Cape Town’s newsletter of 12 Feb 2010, an update of the Hospital Bend development is presented. There’s a PDF of the outgoing and incoming lane preselection, relating to De Waal Drive’s new bridge, the new Anzio Road bridge, and the merge directly with Settler’s Way off the De Wall Drive. From the article: “The total project budget was R263 ...
Google Gears is reportedly being relegated to the bench by the Campus (Google, that is, as mentioned in a range of comments before) in order to allow the fun-filled featues of HTML5 to replace the functionality required. Makes sense – why have a fully fledged custom system when a specification exists that covers most of the features that Google Gears encompasses. Also, this makes sense with ...
