Politics Counts
Foreign Policy
Some minor fluffs but really how hard was it to make nice with the Brits on the eve of the opening of the games but Romney blew it. He's being compared negatively with......Palin! This guy looks like Bush all over again.
The president replaced the bust of Winston Churchill with one of Abraham Lincoln, an American president and a Republican to boot. What's not to like about that? Dan
It is indeed sad. U.S. political candidates carry droves of advisers with them to supply the correct things to say.
Even then, this guy Romney can't get it right. But that is all well and good and Brits are better at seeing through the makeup, suit and tie than US citizens are.
In the U.S.A. The politician will tell you everything he or she thinks you want to hear, in order to get your
vote. After the election it's a whole different story. So if Romney backtracks on some of his statements,
rest assured it all for cosmetic purposes.
If Romley is all that America has to offer we are in for a few interesting years. By the way Salt Lake is a great City.

So we're probably looking at a two-termer.
The WSJ hasn't distinguished itself by publishing this baldly deficient list. Don't your reporters read the papers?
A backlash against gushing well of contributions from the disgraced bankers who manipulated the Libor index doesn't make your "tough day" list, apparently. Just pretend you didn't hear it.
Dan, on top of that, the Churchill bust was due to be returned to Britain anyway!
Its obvious that Romney is fully disconnected from reality and only thinks of himself and the 1 percent that he represents. He is looking like Bush all over again.
BTW, he is in London to see how his wife's investment in a horse does in the Olympic games
The tuition we started paying today for this rookie's learning curve mistakes will be too expensive to bear. We can't afford the mistakes this prospective US president will make in foreign affairs and in national security issues. I won't pay it!
I just think he doesn't understand that it's not about "looking" right... it's about doing good things for the people that most need assistance. I worry should he take the top office.
The Brits seem a bit touchy these days. Perhaps they've grown to enjoy being held in utter contempt as by the current occupant of the WH.
Mitt "off shore your job" Romney is a total dip$h*t
…and what the he11 was with that Anglo Saxon $hit he was babbling on about?
What? You mean to say that Bishop Richy Rich, the corporate raider, has failed to win the hearts and minds of the British people with his incredible sense of entitlement and his condescending elitism? What is wrong with them?
Look, the guy does know all about multi-level parking garages...so let's not dump all over him
No wonder the NRA likes me -- the gun that I shoot myself in the foot with has a 100-round magazine!
They did not like the Mormonarchs Mitt I and Queen Ann?
What is wrong with them?
When last in Rome, a Brit cornered me at my morning coffee and preceded to explain exactly why Americans are incapable of understanding Muslims. After I listed all the books I have read on Islam and the fact that I had read the Koran twice, I asked the robust, middle aged, female Brit if she had read the Koran. She exited the conversation in a huff. It was interesting watching her wobble away.
A few days later in Venice a British couple began to lecture my wife and I about how Americans did not understand international political implications. All I was trying to do was examine the lasagna.
Several more encounters with Brits left me wondering if they circumnavigate Trafalgar Square with the same political introspection afforded Muslims who circumnavigate their obelisk, casting stones at their devils.
America, the colony that got away. Mitt should have just mumbled, waved, listened, and departed. Because the only thing Brits really want to hear it that America begs their forgiveness and surrenders it's lands to the Commonwealth. God save the.... oh, never mind. To hell with them.
So Ken, you also hate the Brits? What were you doing in Italy? Nobody eats lasagna in Venice. so how do you like your Mitt and his diplomacy? When he gets back he will show us 12 years of tax return right?
Britts will criticize anyone with good teeth. Way to go Mitt!
What a disaster, this guy and his campaign are truly the keystone cops of politics!
London and the UK also do not like Romney?
Watch the huge crowds against Romney.
Out of touch.
Feels entitled to anything he wants because he's always been able to have anything he wants.
Incapable of empathy or true compassion.
And a potential disaster with his cluelessness and need to spew it out of his mouth.
Romney insists on attacking President Obama because he "went around apologizing for America".
But now America has to apologize for Romney.
He is an embarr ASS ment .
You who have commented are so thin-skinned and pathetic. Get a grip!
This is your Candidate, your champion of conservative ideals, bwahahahahahaha, BRING IT ON REPUGS, bring it, the man can't even have a normal conversation. Somebody needs to charge the Mitt Bot ahahahahhahaha
I suppose Romney just got so comfortable with bashing the job Obama was doing, that he just kept the bashing going in London, but with a different target. If you think every challenge is easy, it's no wonder if you're always rubbishing the work of other people. Not a good play, Mitt. Maybe you should try a different campaign approach, say maybe honest discussion of the difficult policy choices? http://moderatepoli.blogspot.com/2012/07/perhaps-readers-think-that-my-jeering.html
As a Brit, I felt Romney was an embarrassment for your great country.
I think people here get a whiff of phoniness from him. Despite Bush's unpopularity here, I don't think anyone saw him as phoney - what you saw was what you got.
Personally I think Mr Romney has something of the night about him, a cruelness in his eyes and the way he talks about poor and disadvantaged people.
Why should a mere presidential candidate be visiting other countries and be treated like a dignitary?
To the fake James Bond:
Actually donkey brown-shirt they do eat lasagna in Venice. It was one of the most popular dishes there among the locals because they get it for half price. And, most Brits are probably OK. It's just the please-wipe-my-ass donkey-brown-shirt Brits like you that I loathe. (See, I can speak your language. I just prefer not to.)
When are you going to grow up boy and get a name for yourself?
Mitt Romney is man of business, a supposedly infallible investment pro who will magically turn around the American economy. I have my doubts, but what is abundantly clear is that Mitt is no pro when it comes to foreign policy and speaking intelligently to our allies. He has barreled across the pond and delivered insult after insult to our closest ally, ruining their highly anticipated run-yup to the start of the Olympic games. Romney managed to bungle his first visit with a couple of conservative politicians who had shown overwhelming support for Mitt and his id. If he can't get along with our friends, what would he do with the rest of the world? http://www.sunstateactivist.org
Just testing if my remote control for not a steer Ken from Asstin, TX was still working. Pushed the little buttons and out come out the insults on the other side. Perfect! Lasagna and pizza in Venice and pizza. Donkey sized vaffanculo!
A shocking number of Republicans, currently trying to recruit Jewish voters to vote for Mittens, the uber WASP, must know that many of their fellow Republican voters make stereotyped and bigoted comments about Jewish people all the time, whenever they think no one who cares is watching or listening. But, they say to themselves, "'at least we respect the Jews!, they know how to make money!'", as they make derogatory remarks about them. Their stereotyped and bigoted comments about Blacks, Latinos, Gays, muslims, the poor, women, the elderly and now the Brits have no qualifiers. And they are silent when their more seriously bigoted fellow travelers--the neo-Nazis, the Klan, Christian Identity, Christian Defense League, etc.,110% of whom vote Republican--lead their xenophobic and Jew-baiting campaigns. That is our current Republican Party--based in its electoral strategy(suppression of minority and elderly voters) and even more on their private nasty stereotypes of their fellow Americans. The only reason they praise the Jewish people and defend Israel, is because they think it will be to their benefit politically--this is all about them and their power, they could care less than less about the Jews. Mitt Romney will not be President because he does not have the spine to stand up to the unAmerican bigotry represented here by Ken from Austin, TX within his own party.

A little factual background on that talking point Daniel...The problem with that applause line is that the Jacob Epstein bust was a personal loan from Britain to President George W. Bush made in July 2001 for the duration of his presidency.
When Obama took over from Bush, the loan expired and he apparently showed no interest in extending it. The bust was returned to the Government Art Collection.
The whole issue, which has been used to portray Obama as anti-British, is a sore point for British diplomats, who view it as presumptuous for Romney to assume the bust would be loaned to him.
Willards foray to London made one point overwhelmingly clear - he's a one-trick pony auditioning for a multidimensional job.
Why do liberals always talk about things of which they have no knowledge? jilli the bust of Churchill was replaced by one of Martin Luther King not Abraham Lincoln. If you knew anything about art and diplomacy it is the piece that replaces where the first piece sat that matters.
It was on loan but there was no expiration dates on the loan. PM Blair sent it here with the thoughts of the citizens of England and the British Empire. He did not send it here and say "you may keep it for 6 weeks then hands off" that is very disingenuous and ignorant of you. When BO threw his hissy fit over it being in the Oval Office he ordered it out and no one knew where to send it at first. It took a bit but the British Embassy finally accepted it.
In response to your one trick pony stupidity? The US economy sits at 8.2% unemployment, the newest numbers show the GDP growing at 1.5%, 200,000 businesses closed since 2009, credit rating dropped from AAA to AA, highest poverty levels and rates since before the beginning of the War On Poverty, negative job growth, almost $30 billion in new taxes for small businesses, took away over $500 billion from Medicare, and it goes on, and on, and on, and on, and on......America has to have one trick it is someone who can make the economy better. Gov Romney can do that, and BO has proved beyond the reason of any doubt that he has failed at it.
@Ken from Austin: I was beginning to think we were going to have one of those rare moments where we agree with each other. Remember that warm fuzzy when we agreed to cut off foreign aid to Pakistan? We could have had that again. I hate the limey poofs, too. They ruined the Gulf of Mexico. But then you had to start that assnine donkey crap again. Too bad.
Oh, and Mormonism is stupid.
Why cares about the bust of long time dead Churchill? What matters is to look ahead rather than dwell on the worst of times.
Obama is allowed to honor who inspires him. Someone like Lincoln, Martin Luther King are definitely more inspiring and worth of honor than someone like Churchill who although respectable as the leader against the Nazi crimes and war was known to be a racist and a ruthless british imperialist supremacist.
No person can live without making mistakes. Who writing here can say they've never said something that offended another? Your verbal assassinations of a public figure, has led to your verbal violence towards each other. Try forgiveness and compassion -- it leads to peace.
Miit Romeny has a political ad stating how Obama have failed at the economy, jobs and deficit complicated stuff by any ones imagination. Mitt Romney could not even be successful at a simply foreign policy task surrounded by savvy advisors and his big bucks, what furhter proof do anyone need to know that Mitt Romney is a hot mess and unqualified for POTUS.
Mitt Romney will never be president of the United States. President Obama will be re-elected. I fear for this country and this world if the results on election night ends any other way.
As well as possible!

DescriptionBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONThe invention relates to electronic calculators, specifically to a portable, hand-held calculator, and more particularly to a student calculator which includes a new feature useful in the teaching of mathematics.Small portable calculators are commonly used in the mathematics classroom today. In many mathematics classes in high schools and elementary schools, each student in a class uses a student calculator and is taught various mathematical functions and manipulations by a teacher using a calculator having similar functions. U.S. Pat. No. 4,154,007 introduced the overhead projectible calculator, with a transparent liquid crystal display for projection onto a screen. Using such a projectible calculator with keyboard layout similar to the students' calculators, the mathematics teacher can show the solving of mathematical problems while instructing students in the classroom. Further refinements have been developed with U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,836,786 and 5,035,502, wherein not only the LCD of the calculator but also the keyboard is transparent and projectible. Thus, the students see not only the LCD as projected, but also the instructor's entries onto the keyboard.Such projectible calculators have made great progress in furthering the use of electronic calculators in the teaching of mathematics. However, in the field of classroom calculators there has been a need for an effective teaching tool which can be used to direct students in learning alternative mathematical manipulations to achieve a given result, helping to teach factoring and the associative and distributive properties in mathematics. This is the purpose of the present invention described below.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe ability to teach students mathematics, while at the same time allowing and teaching the use of calculators, is broadened by the new calculators according to this invention. With the new calculators a mathematics teacher can assign students a problem involving several of the common functions--addition, subtraction, multiplication and division--then instruct the students to disable one or more numbers or mathematical functions. The students are thus forced to devise and learn alternative manipulations to arrive at the same result.As a very simple example, students may be instructed to disable the 8 key, then to solve the problem 8 18. The student can mentally factor each number in such a way as not to require use of the 8 key. The student thus arrives at (2Г—4) (2Г—9). The student can use the distributive property to factor out the like 2s; 2Г—(4 9), which can be expressed as 2Г—13=26. As another example, the teacher might assign a problem 6Г—3Г—12Г·4 48, the result divided by 78. If the students are then instructed to disable the number key 8, several of these manipulations will have to be performed in alternative ways. For example, the division by 78 could be accomplished by factoring 78 into 6Г—13, thus dividing by 6 and 13 successively. Alternatively, the student could divide by 2 and 39 successively, or 3 and 26 successively. If the students are instructed to disable the multiplication function key, they will have to use addition in place of multiplication for several of the above problem steps. Disabling of number keys, of numbers involved in an assigned problem, can help teach the student the distributive property of multiplication over addition.The teacher can instruct students to disable the square root key, then assign the students to find the square root of one or more numbers. The student will learn to "bracket" the solution by squaring numbers repeatedly, finally narrowing to the solution as confirmed by reviewing the new squared product on each iteration. This exercise helps the student appreciate what is done by the calculator in extracting square roots.It is therefore seen that the calculator of the invention, with key disabling, teaches the student to problem solve around the disabled key. This actually holds true in the same way as in the case where no calculator is used, but the student works out a problem on paper without using certain digits or numbers. Whether or not a calculator is used by the student, such an exercise is pedagogically sound in math education.Calculators according to the invention are constructed generally similarly to typical conventional classroom calculators having the same mathematical functions. Key disabling, although it may be accomplished by simple dip switches on the back of the calculator, in a more preferred embodiment of the calculator is effected by holding down a key which is to be disabled, for a pre-programmed duration which may be two to four seconds. The internal microprocessor chip of the calculator has programming to switch off any of the keys wherein disablement is provided, by sensing the holding of such a key for the predetermined period of time. In the case of the arithmetic function keys, e.g. addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, square root and percent, the liquid crystal display of the calculator preferably displays each of these functions when the corresponding key is pressed. Similarly, the pressing of any numerical key zero through nine will cause that numeral to be displayed on the LCD. To confirm to the student that a key has been disabled, the LCD symbol showing the number or function will appear on the LCD when the key is initially pressed, but will then disappear after the predetermined hold-down period for disabling of the key. The microprocessor is programmed to control the display in this way.It is therefore seen that calculators according to this invention present a new approach and many new possibilities for the teaching of mathematics to students while at the same time allowing and teaching the use of electronic calculators. These and other objects, advantages and features of the invention will be apparent from the following description of a preferred embodiment, considered along with the accompanying drawings.DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGSFIG. 1 is a frontal view of a calculator according to the invention, with capability of disabling selected keys of the keyboard.FIG. 1A is similar to FIG. 1 but with a variation in the calculator's display.FIG. 2 is a flow chart outlining some of the logic which forms a part of the programming of a microprocessor chip included in the calculator, for the purpose of disabling and resetting keys.DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTSFIG. 1 shows a calculator 10 of the type commonly known as a four-function calculator, the calculator being designed for classroom use. The calculator 10 preferably is of the typical pocket size, and may be about 5 to 8 centimeters in width by about 9 to 12 centimeters in height. The calculator has a casing 12 which may be about 4 to 9 millimeters in thickness. Dimensions may be smaller if desired, but the keyboard size should be comfortable to use.As is the usual case with a four-function classroom calculator, this calculator includes a keyboard 14 with a division key 16, multiplication key 18, subtraction key 20 and addition key 22, as well as a square root function key 24. In addition, the calculator may include memory keys 26, 28 and 30, a percent key 32 and a /- key 34 for changing sign. Although the calculator 10 may be battery-powered, more preferably it includes the typical array of solar cells 36 for powering its internal microprocessor chip and LCD display 38. Thus, a clear entry/clear key 40 is included, without the need for any "on" or "off" key.In addition to these function keys, the keyboard 14 includes number keys 0 through 9 and the decimal point. An "equals" key 42 is provided, to cause display of the last mathematical operation entered, or to use the "constant" or squaring functions of the calculator.As shown on the liquid crystal display 38, the calculator of the invention preferably includes display of arithmetic icons at 44, for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. A particular icon will appear when the particular operation is selected by depressing of the key. A two by two square arrangement of the individual four functions is shown. Other icon display formats for these functions can be used if desired, such as a dot matrix, shown in FIG. 1A in the form of a five by five matrix 44a. The display 38 also has an indicator or icon 46 which in this embodiment is shown as a simple black dot. The indicator 46 relates to the key-disable function of the calculator of the invention. When the black dot 46 (or other appropriate icon) appears on the display, this indicates that at least one numeral or function key has been disabled.As described above, although manual switches could be used for disabling selected keys, in the preferred embodiment disabling is accomplished by the straightforward procedure of holding the key down for an unconventionally long period of time. Since a user of a calculator will normally hold down a numeral or function key for a period of considerably less than one second, the disabling threshold may be about two seconds, or it may be up to about four seconds. Any period of time which corresponds to a deliberate effort to hold the key down is sufficient, but in a preferred embodiment this period is about two to four seconds. The user must hold down one key at a time for the threshold disabling period. That will cause the number or function corresponding to the depressed key to be displayed on the display 38 until the threshold time period is reached. At that time the number or function symbol will disappear from the display.Preferably all of the numeral keys of the calculator 10 are capable of being disabled. In addition, at least the arithmetic function keys 16, 18, 20 and 22 should be capable of disabling. Like the numerals, these are displayed (at 44) when pressed, then disappear when the time threshold is reached. In one preferred embodiment all of the normal function keys can be disabled, with the exception of the CE/C key 40, the memory keys 26-30 and the "equals" key 42, as well as the decimal point.By disabling the ] key, the student will be forced into changing 50% value into 0.50 by mentally removing the percent sign and moving the decimal point two places to the left (i.e. expressing 50% as 50 hundredths).To restore the function of all keys, in the preferred embodiment a reset key 50 is included on the keyboard. This will restore all functions and numerals which have been disabled, and the black indicator dot 46 on the display will disappear. This can in fact comprise a power off function which sets all registers to zero. Although provision could be made to accomplish this function through use of the CE/C key 40 (pressing twice), without providing a reset key 50, it is preferred that the CE/C key function in the normal way, clearing numbers for a new problem and not resetting disabled keys.The improved classroom calculator of the invention, in a preferred embodiment, has a combination of additional specific operating features, some of which have individually been included in higher-level calculators in the past, and some of which are new with this calculator. These features include the negative sign's being displayed as a floating sign; condensed numerals in the display being 8 to 9 mm in height; grouping of each three digits by an apostrophe or caret; expressing percent as a decimal, when the percent key is pressed after a number. Also, use of the percent key for addition or subtraction of percentages will involve a different display. Pressing 0] ] 5] ] first displays 15, then pressing ] yields 75. Further, with the square root function, if a negative value is displayed, then the square root key is pressed, the word "ERROR" will appear, centered in the display, without showing any mathematical answer. Further, when the square root of a number is calculated using the square root key, its root shall be returned to the original number value using the ] keys (rather than returning to an approximating decimal). As an example, if в€љ5 is extracted and 2.2360679 is displayed, then pressing ] will display 5.When either memory key (26 or 28) is pressed, an "M" 52 will appear in the upper left corner of the display.Also, the processor will round off decimals. 2Г·3 will be displayed as 0.6666667. Upon clearing the calculator, the display shall show only a 0, without decimal point. When a decimal number is then entered, it will be shown as 0.. Further, the decimal point may be fixed to a designated number of places by holding down the decimal point key until it disappears on the display, then by entering a digit for the fixed number of places desired. This will fix the decimal point at the position desired and will turn on a "FIX" icon 54. For example, if the decimal point is pressed for three seconds, the decimal point will disappear in the display, then the operator may press 2 for a two-place fix, thereby making addition and subtraction of money problems easier. The display will show 0.00. If more than seven places are attempted to be fixed, then the "ERROR" message will appear. To cancel the fixed decimal point and return to a floating point, the user simply presses the "RESET" key.Another preferred feature carried out by the internal processor of the calculator 10 is that all basic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) will automatically operate under conventional algebraic logic, so that, as an example, 4 3Г—5 shall equal 19.FIG. 2 indicates some of the logic of the internal microprocessor chip (not shown) of the calculator 10, in simplified flow chart form, relating to the key-disabling and resetting process.The flow chart 55 of FIG. 2 is not comprehensive in showing the interrelationship of the disable and reset functions with the normal operation of the calculator. Normal operation is indicated at the block 56.As shown in the flow chart 55, when a key is depressed, as indicated in the block 60, if the key is not the reset key (decision block 62); and if the key is not one of the keys not capable of disabling (CE/C, MR, M-, M , =, or decimal point), as shown in decision block 64; and if the display is clear (block 66); and if that particular key is not currently disabled (decision block 68), the character represented by the key is displayed, as noted in the block 70. If the key is held down for the threshold period as discussed above, shown here as three seconds in the decision block 72, the process goes to the block 74, i.e. the screen is cleared of the displayed character or icon, the disable dot 46 is displayed and the number is disabled. The flow chart then shows return to "key depressed" 60, indicating that another key will be depressed in carrying out mathematical calculations, without use of the disabled key.The chart 55 also shows that if, at decision block 62, the reset key is the key which has been depressed (50 in FIG. 1), this will clear (reset to operational) all disabled keys as indicated in the block 78. At the same time, the disable dot (46 in FIG. 1) is turned off and all registers and operations are cleared. As noted above, in a preferred embodiment the reset key will also reset the decimal point, as no longer fixed. The chart now flows back to the "key depressed" block 60, indicating that another key will be depressed in the normal use of the calculator.At the decision block 64, if the depressed key, which is held down for the threshold period of time, is one of the keys not capable of disabling (CE/C, MR, M-, M , =, or decimal point), then normal operation involving the depressed key will take place, as indicated at the block 56. The loop returns to "key depressed" 60, indicating that the next step will be to depress another key.At the decision block 66, if the display is not clear, i.e. displaying zero (or displaying nothing except the disable dot in the case another key has just been disabled), then normal operation of the key continues, as indicated by flow to the block 56. It is preferred that the processor operate the disable function in this way, requiring a clear screen and no numbers stored or calculations in progress. However, the processor could have logic to operate at a slightly more sophisticated level wherein, if a number and an arithmetic operation ( , Г—, etc.) have been entered, or a result has already been calculated and is displayed, a digit entered and held at this point could be disabled.At the decision block 68, if the key which has been depressed is a key which has already been disabled, then there will be no display of this depressed key, and the flow is back to "key depressed" 60, indicating that the next step will be to depress another key.At the decision block 72, if the depressed key is not held down for the threshold period, then the flow indicates normal operation of this key at the block 56, and returning to "key depressed", indicating a further key will be depressed.It is therefore seen that the invention provides a function allowing the user to disable one or more number or operation keys that will then challenge the user to perform certain given algorithms in such a manner that avoids the use of those disabled keys.The above described preferred embodiments are intended to illustrate the principles of the invention, but not to limit its scope. Other embodiments and variations to this preferred embodiment will be apparent to those skilled in the art and may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the following claims.* * * * * Field of SearchElectric component included in teaching meansKeyboard or like manually manipulated array (e.g., slides, levers, etc.)MEANS FOR DEMONSTRATING APPARATUS, PRODUCT, OR SURFACE CONFIGURATION, OR FOR DISPLAYING EDUCATION MATERIAL OR STUDENT'S WORK

I need to extract the icon (.ico file) out of an executable (.exe).
I asked something similar in another question but the fact I asked it for linux wasn't a good idea.
I need it for PHP... but this time let's consider I am on Windows. Any Ideas?

Are you saying "I need to user PHP to extract ICO resources from EXE files"? Please clarify, as "I need it for PHP" is a rather generic statement if you need a specific solution. – Farray Mar 6 '11 at 18:32
I don't get what's the problem here.. I need to be able to extract this ico with a PHP script. – yes123 Mar 6 '11 at 18:42
And I don't get your tone. People are trying to help you, try to be polite. "I need it for PHP" doesn't specify whether you need a pure PHP solution, or whether you need to be able to manipulate inputs/outputs with PHP, or how exactly you want the interaction to go. You mention asking a similar question before, but you don't link to your previous question so the rest of us lack whatever context you seem to assume exists. Jon just edited your question, but please consider that prior to his edits your title did not adequately describe your question. – Farray Mar 6 '11 at 18:46

I originally thought that ImageMagick will extract icons from .exe files. However, it seems my memory is failing me.
Instead, since you are prepared to accept the use of exec I think the quickest and easiest solution will be to use a tool like ResHacker. The can be driven in command-line mode. Then if you need to convert from .ico to .png, as per your last question, you can reach for ImageMagick.

WOW, running on php.net to check, maybe this is the final hit to finally abandon the awful GD in my framework – yes123 Mar 6 '11 at 18:26
Checked, I don't think imageMagick can do that. I don't found any doc – yes123 Mar 6 '11 at 18:31

Do you have any familiarity with C#? CodeProject has an example of extracting icons from EXE and DLL files. The sample project is written with a winforms GUI but could easily be rewritten as a command-line program and called from PHP using exec.

Well, you can spend into 6 figures and not get everything on your shopping
list. Also, you may not *want* everything on that list.
Suppose your software really could tell "what vulnerabilities that zombied
host would likely have, and how to exploit any such known vulnerability to
stop the zombied host from further attacking me and others." That changes
like the wind, but suppose you had something completely accurate. You'd
still need to round up exploit code, which may be coming from a rather
unsavory source. I gather you'd like to do that in a completely automated
fashion as well. That would be dangerous in and of itself, especially as
you couldn't quantify a new and ever-changing risk, so automation is
probably the last thing you want. This is a case where you need humans in
the loop--except that it would take a full-time staff. But suppose you got
past those difficulties as well. There's an ethics issue involved with
pushing that exploit button, as well as the fact that you would then be in
violation of federal law, and likely state laws as well.
There really is only so much that can be done with automation. You'll find
that the larger managed security services (Counterpane, etc.) pride
themselves on the caliber of the people they have in the loop. You might
spend some time on isc.sans.org. Read through some handler's diaries, learn
how to submit your firewall logs, look at the port histories, etc. I think
you might find that site both interesting and instructive.

A couple of days ago, some anonymous teenagers who thought they were smart challenged the PSN hackers that they can't hack or disrupt 4chan because PSN was unprotected.
So in true fashion they have now and again attacked 4chan and kept it offline, another point they disabled the coding for pictures to be shown therefore halting the site except for the main index :P
Seems to be getting smacked about now also.
If you are one of these /b/ "tards" or "***s" bear in mind, just because your anonymous does not mean you are smarter :P
Couldn't find any mention of this anywhere. Do you have any sources?

A recent visit to Connellys Cove, a waterfront restaurant in Wolcott, Wayne County, took me back to my childhood in the 1970s, when my family spent summers on our boat on Lake Michigan. Our vacations were cruises from our home port north of Chicago to destinations in Wisconsin and Michigan.
Connellys Cove is a well-preserved example of the yacht clubs and waterfront restaurants we visited during that era. Expansive views of the water. A bar with a lively, convivial atmosphere. Dark carpeting and wood paneled walls. Low-back wood spindle chairs. Single carnations in bud vases on each table. Nautical bric-a-brac here and there. Its no surprise to find out that husband and wife Kitty and Terry Connelly have been running the restaurant since the 1960s.
We dined in a sun porch-type room lined with windows that gave us a picturesque view of Sodus Bay and docks for visiting boaters. We were ahead of the height of boating season, so we watched a couple of boats come and go, and a great blue heron strut along the dock.
The menu is familiar sandwiches, burgers, seafood and Italian entrées. Meat entrées are beef, with the exception of a ham steak.
Two of us started with a cup of sea crab soup, a house specialty. A creamy, flavorful broth was studded with strips of crab stick and bits of al dente celery.
I was thrilled that the list of specials included perch, another throwback to my childhood and a rarity in the Rochester area. Perch are small, freshwater fish with a mild, delicate flavor. The filets, which came in a pile of about 10, were lightly breaded and deep fried to perfection, and served with a squeeze bottle of tartar sauce. I ordered this dish with the only appropriate accompaniment: french fries.
If you want a change from battered haddock belly bombs, head out to Sodus Bay and try some perch. Call first, though. Kitty Connelly tells me that perch is not always available. (When its hot, for example, perch dont bite.)
I overheard a waitress telling another customer that they were too late for bullhead. Another freshwater fish, fried bullhead are a draw for Connellys Cove from the time it opens for the season in April through mid-May.
For diners who prefer turf over surf, the Black & Bleu Open Steak Sandwich, a special that evening, also received raves. A beautifully grilled Delmonico steak was given extra flavor from Cajun seasoning, and topped with a savory bleu cheese sauce and mushroom caps. It was served open-face; a sturdier bread might have held up better to the juicy meat, but the bread was beside the point.
Spaghetti and meatballs were passable but not stellar. The spaghetti was softer than al dente, and the meatballs a bit dry. In the future, Id stick to seafood and steaks.
Trendy, Connellys Cove is not. The complimentary bread basket contained soft, white Italian bread. Dinner salads were the classic combo of iceberg lettuce, garbanzo beans, grape tomatoes, croutons a pair of black olives and dressing (Ranch, in this case). Soups came with a packet of saltines. Baked potatoes were served in a jacket of foil. Curly kale appears on just about every dish as a garnish, not an ingredient.
Connellys Cove may not wow foodies looking for a gourmet meal. But for me, sitting in a familiar environment, gazing at the water, eating my perch, I was transported to simpler, happy times at the Waukegan, Ill., Yacht Club.
And I enjoyed the trip.

Tone Loc Collapses On Stage In Iowa; Management Says He's Fine
Tone Loc (Photo: Gary Miller)
Tone Loc (Photo: Gary Miller)
According to the Des Moines Register, the 47-year-old (whose real name is Anthony Terrell Smith), finished up a song, and then went down. The show was terminated abruptly, with fans being told to leave after a few minutes.
No word has been released as to the cause of his collapse. Loc's rep, Bobby Bessone, told us Monday that "Tone is fine"--and that he was treated immediately and taken back to his hotel room following the incident. He was able to fly home the next day.
Loc was performing at the local Bridge Bash, which was held as part of the weekend's St. Patrick's Day festivities.
According to TMZ, this is not the first time Loc has had such issues. He's fallen on stage in 2009, 2011, and 2012. The latter two incidents were chalked up to exhaustion by his management.

Writer raves of winter in Arches National Park
When cold strikes Utah, many trade their hiking boots for skis and snowboards.
But last winter Chicago Tribune travel writer Josh Noel kept his boots on and went to Arches National Park. He wrote about his trip for a recent article and found much to love in Moab's slow season.
From the article:
Topped with unsullied white, southern Utah's red rocks seem even redder. The thrill is in the contrast, especially at sunset, when the rocks turn a warm orange-red and the snow, reflecting the fading sun, becomes softly rosy. Add short, scrubby green grasses and the sky's piercing blue, and Arches National Park sings in winter albeit to a small audience.
A version of the article also ran on the Miami Herald website with a photo gallery of Arches in winter.

The results of the United Nations Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species or CITES back in 2002 is worse than expected. An elephant holocaust is taking place in parts of Africa. The gentle giants will be extinct in some areas if unethical, amoral, and ruthless poaching doesn't cease. Back in 2002 members of the U.N.'s CITES meeting in Chile decided in favor of 3 African nations Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa to release stockpiles of ivory for one time only sales. The U.N. had previously put an overall ban on international sales of ivory in 1989-90 and that was extended for 9 years in 2007. Prior to that poaching was out of control, i.e., Kenya alone poached on average 3,000 elephants annually. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/2457965.stm and http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/2320901.stm
The 2002 decision was largely contested by animal welfare groups claiming it would ignite illegal poaching again. The head of that convention, Willem Wijnstekers, professed to see no correlation between making that ivory available on the market for a quick sale and an increase in elephant poaching. Organizations like IFAW, Born Free, WWF, and Kenya's Wildlife Service speaking on behalf of the elephants predicted what would happen with comments like:
- [a]death knell for African elephants
- a looming catastrophe for Africa's elephant
- Elephant herds would be decimated as illegal ivory smuggling booms.
- a death warrant for thousands of elephants… which will now be targeted by well-organized poaching gangs to feed the increased demand that will be created for illegal ivory—IFAW.
- decision could "spell doom" for elephants.
- This move could re-open the floodgates to poaching on a scale not seen in the past decade
Despite warnings and an actual run-up of poaching in Kenya before the CITES decision, the all wise and knowing members of the committee on TRADE and not animal welfare decided to allow the sale of 60 tons and another 50 tons of ivory between the 3 countries on 2 occasions in 2004. Willem said, "The move did not imply a re-launch of the ivory trade, nor authorization to hunt." He said, "Instead, it would benefit local communities economically." Ahh, there it is—economics. Damn the elephants. It's political. WWF: "The level of political wheeling and dealing and trading on the decisions is worse than I've ever seen at any Cites conference previously." Almost sounds like the U.S. grey wolf—literally thrown under the bus. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/2435663.stm
The CITES decision was also based on strong management programs for elephants in the 3 countries petitioning for sales and that "the proceeds [would] be used to conserve elephants." Mind you other African nations with elephants did not have strong management programs and were unable to ensure the elephant's safety. After all, Africa is a big, big continent of geographically, politically, and economically diverse countries. The U.N. knows this. And money from ivory sales being used for conservation sounds a whole lot like the U.S. hunting industry constantly donating to conservation. The lines purposely get blurred and the gesture ultimately amounts to more ways to kill critters that aren't plentiful. In other words, when the foxes decide to renovate and upgrade the henhouse, most assuredly the prize hens will come up missing.
The U.N. CITES committee also needed to develop a system of monitoring legal sales of ivory to see if the decision did indeed lead to increased poaching. The actual sales couldn't occur until 2004 because CITES was tasked with collecting all the data for hunting, artisans, and vendors that legally sold ivory in all 3 countries and whatever country purchased the ivory, plus a tally of elephant populations in order to ascertain whether or not it would be detrimental or not relative to poaching. Does anyone honestly think this monumental task would be done well in just 2 years?
Oh there were articles back then that just couldn't seem to confirm the correlation between increased elephant poaching and the 2002 decision even though Kenya has continuously opposed the sale of ivory stockpiles from the beginning. Kenya suffers a severely diminished elephant population due to poaching even though Kenya has very good policing and enforcement policies. http://www.aseanbiodiversity.info/Abstract/51006445.pdf
None of the articles correlating the sale of ivory and poaching came anywhere as close to predicting the long term effects of the U.N. decision as those organizations dedicated to the preservation of wildlife. Conservationists clearly based their opposition not only on the science of managing elephant populations but also GREEDY HUMAN NATURE and the blatant politicizing of the 2002 CITES meeting relative to ivory.
So what did the U.N. CITES do in 2007 despite the upward trend in poaching and ivory demand? They allowed the same type of sale to the same 3 countries once again. And t appeared to be with an even bigger approval by the likes of Great Britain:
To the horror of conservationists, many countries – including Britain – argued that the sale would satisfy demand and reduce poaching. In fact, it has had the opposite effect and led to a surge in elephant slaughter by poachers who launder their ivory through the legal trade. The decision to allow the sale led to China and Japan being approved as trade partners and demand for ivory, in China in particular, has soared. Last year, China approved 37 new retail ivory stores.
By 2008-09, African elephant poaching was at an unprecedented high and auctions for ivory were taking place. http://www.wildlifeextra.com/go/news/leakey-poaching834.html#cr
Elephant Massacre Revealed in Chad
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/08/photogalleries/elephants-massacre/index.html for more pics.
Here we are in 2011. See what man has done? Not just the low life poachers but respected members of the United Nations CITES team that made a stupid, stupid decision against protests for the welfare of elephants worldwide. It was a wrong decision not once but twice. According to an article in the U.K. Telegraph:
Elephant populations in Senegal, Mali and Niger are on the brink of extinction. Chad has just over 600 elephants left, more than 80 per cent down from the 3,800 it had in 2006, while Zimbabwe lost more than 3,000 elephants last year, according to conservationists.
In the war-torn Democratic Republic of Congo, militias sell ivory from elephants to buy weapons. 'Elephants are being killed all over Africa,' says Ian Redmond, a British wildlife biologist and elephant expert. 'The ivory trade is rampant.
Now despite the U.N. CITES attempts at more enforcement against poaching, too little, too late, the technical world has made tracking elephants even easier. That taste of ivory sold on the market in 2004 and 2007 sparked demand in Asia. Remember the "illegal" trade was loosed by that demand. Criminals don't follow rules. And the proof is in the numbers of elephants decimated last year. It's sparking the bush meat trade among elephants now. Not satisfied with carcass meat from ivory poachers, hunters put out snares catching young orphaned elephants too:
Ninety miles north-east of the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, a baby elephant hobbles slowly towards a water hole on the slopes of Mount Kenya. Its rear leg is caught in a snare which it drags around with it.
The snare has torn open the elephant's flesh which has become infected. Unable to keep up with the herd, the elephant has been abandoned and without help will soon die of its wounds.
The elephant was not a target of ivory poachers (it has no tusks) but was caught in a snare placed in the forest by another breed of poacher who is back in serious business. This is the 'bushmeat' poacher, who kills animals for their meat.
Elephants are highly intelligent, social animals that show emotion. From the same article:
Jolson Kitheka, the volunteer ranger, is still haunted by one detail of his encounter with the poachers' handiwork.
The body he found was strewn with mud, leaves and twigs, tossed there by other elephants who had tried to cover up their friend; this is how elephants mourn their dead.
For now much of mankind does not get a connection between all living things as being our general salvation. More and more I truly understand Chief Seattle's statement: "What happens to the beast, happens to the man."

text: On 25 August 1939 Funk wrote a letter to Hitler expressing his gratitude that he was able to participate in such world-shaking events; that his plans for the "financing of the war", for the control of wage and price conditions and for the strengthening of the Reichsbank had been completed; and that he had inconspicuously transferred into gold all foreign exchange resources available to Germany. On 14 October 1939, after the war had begun, he made a speech in which he stated that the economic and financial departments of Germany working under the Four Year Plan had been engaged in the secret economic preparation for war for over a year. Funk participated in the economic planning which preceded the attack on the U.S.S.R. His deputy held daily conferences with Rosenberg on the economic problems which would arise in the occupation of Soviet territory. Funk himself participated in planning for the printing of ruble notes in Germany prior to the attack to serve as occupation currency in the U.S.S.R. After the attack he made a speech in which he described plans he had made for the economic exploitation of the "vast territories of the Soviet Union" which were to be used as a source of raw material for Europe. Funk was not one of the leading figures in originating the Nazi plans for aggressive war. His activity in the economic sphere was under the supervision of Göring as Plenipotentiary General of the Four Year Plan. He did, however, participate in the economic preparation for certain of the aggressive wars, notably those against Poland and the Soviet Union, but his guilt can be adequately dealt with under Count Two of the Indictment. War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity In his capacity as Under Secretary in the Ministry of Propaganda and Vice-Chairman of the Reichs Chamber of Culture, Funk had participated in the early Nazi program of economic discrimination against the Jews. On 12 November 1938 after the pogroms of November, he attended a meeting held under the chairmanship of Göring to discuss the solution of the Jewish problem and proposed a decree providing for the banning of Jews from all business activities, which Göring issued the same day under the authority of the Four Year Plan. Funk has testified that he was shocked at the outbreaks of 10 November, but on 15 November he made a speech describing these outbreaks as a "violent explosion of the disgust of the German People, because of a criminal Jewish attack against the German People", and saying that the elimination of the Jews from economic life followed logically their elimination from political life. In 1942 Funk entered into an agreement with Himmler under which the Reichsbank was to receive certain gold and jewels and currency from the SS and instructed his subordinates, who were

Augereye Express
Late in the afternoon of Friday April 24, 1964 New Mexico police officer Lonnie Zamora was in pursuit of a speeding car just south of Socorro, when a loud roar and flash of light off to the right caught his attention and he broke off pursuit to investigate, thinking perhaps a dynamite shack had exploded. Being as the hilly landscape obscured his view, Zamora drove his cruiser as close as possible, then climbed a small hillock in search of the source. Cresting the hill the experienced police officer saw he was a hundred fifty yards from a car sized, egg shaped UFO on the ground with two occupants outside, apparently making repairs.
I have a vivid memory of that day, back when I was just fifteen years old; listening to my transistor radio & shooting hoops in the backyard when the announcer read the story of Zamora's encounter in the nearby desert. As I listened intently my skin became rippled with truth chills. Everyone else calls them goose bumps which is just nonsense. I call them truth chills because it is how your soul lets you know you are in the presence of some core truth…and I had a major outbreak that day! I was already quite interested in the subject of UFO's to begin with before the story broke and hearing of this close encounter so close to home was like pouring gasoline on a smoldering camp fire. That was it, I was hooked for life on the subject, and anything remotely connected to it.
I saw my first alien spacecraft in the skies above the southeastern Oklahoma town of Hartshorne in the summer of 1966. I had traveled there with two friends from high school because the town was in the news as a hot bed of UFO activity. As it was, the residents of this tiny rural town were logging daily low level daylight sightings of flying saucers for a period of many consecutive months. I would have walked there if need be. My friends and I stayed there for several days, camping out under the stars at night watching the skies. To be sure, we had seen several strange lights far off in the distance or at high altitude, but nothing more, and we were feeling a bit gypped. The daylight sightings seemed to have stopped during our visit, which made me somewhat suspicious. The things we saw at night just weren't close enough, and we feared we might end up returning home with little more than mosquito bites.
It was July 26, and our last night in Hartshorne, and we were depressed at striking out on the close encounter sighting we'd hoped for. That evening there was a community sky watch in a huge open field on the edge of town. The visibility was excellent and the weather perfect, nary a cloud in sight. Because we were 200 miles from the nearest large city, the night sky was spectacular without all the washout from artificial lighting. There were maybe 25 or 30 people present for the event, including the town's leading UFO enthusiasts, Mrs. Alta Claire Morgan, & Mrs. Bob Bookout, who owned the land we were on. My friends and I were determined that if there was any activity we'd see and photograph it. This was our last chance. Some of the folks trailed off home after a couple of hours, and eventually it was just about a dozen of us true believers left. About midnight or so Mrs. Morgan asked me if I thought 'they' were just sitting up there watching us and laughing. I didn't share her degree of humor. After so many hours of watching the night sky over this town it somehow looked brand new each time you looked up. Suddenly someone yells out, "Hey look, there's two of them flying in formation!" When we looked up sure enough there were two tiny white lights slowly moving together directly over the field we were in. After a few seconds, we could tell the lights were getting closer, because they were getting bigger and brighter…when I looked thru my 10×50 binoculars I could clearly see both lights, one at each end of a massive cigar shaped "mother ship" type craft!! Each light was illuminating a small area of the hull around it, and it looked like seamless pounded aluminum.
By this time everyone else had also realized this was one huge craft because there was not a human sound being made, and no one moved a muscle. We watched as this huge ship floated silently down closer still to our position. Now we could see the whole thing clearly with the naked eye. There was no thought of getting a picture, no thought at all as I just watched this thing come within 50 feet of the ground and fly slowly toward the distant tree line some 300 yards away. As it headed away from us we had a stern view, with just the aft light visible. When the ship arrived at the tree line, it pivoted 90 degrees to the west, and just hovered there above the trees for a period of five minutes giving us a wonderful side view profile of the craft. Thinking back on it I suppose the twelve of us must have resembled the people on "Close Encounters" just standing there in silent awe in the presence of this otherworldly craft. When it decided to leave, it again pivoted, back to the original heading, and just vanished! It took less than 2 seconds for it to escape eyesight flying at treetop level.
When you see something like that it instantly changes your entire world view. You can never un-see the thing, so you have to make friends with it or it will drive you insane with cognitive dissonance. Mind you this event took place several years before I discovered the truth and learned that the alien species controlling events on Earth are known as Archons. We might not know of these Archons were it not for the Gnostic writings which originally described them in the Nag Hammadi.* These 13 ancient codices somehow managed to survive totally intact despite repeated purges of information and knowledge down thru the ages. You see, these Archons are masters of deception and manipulation, having created the artificial reality we currently live in; not entirely unlike the Matrix movie trilogy…in fact there are many who believe that those movies were made specifically to reveal this artificial matrix like reality. As with any takeover, whether it be bold or surreptitious, there is always an agenda in place leading to the ultimate desired goal. The reason the Archons have gone to such monumental lengths to conceal their presence & agenda, is because it's decidedly nasty, as in the permanently extreme.
Just like Chinese nesting dolls, the Archon agenda has concealed the truth of things by shrouding it with layer after layer of lies, deceits and obfuscations. The Archons have captured the human race. Let that sink in. They captured the entire population of this planet. It was done so gradually, with such expert nuances as to be considered a masterpiece; that's how good their creeping assimilation is. Researchers like John Lamb Lash believe that the Archons were present in this part of the galaxy even before the Earth was fully formed, and that seems to coincide with other lines of research that lead us into the part of our history that is the darkest and best kept secret. That secret is that back when mankind was very, very young visitors from other worlds decided to 'uplift' our species, to accelerate our development by genetic intervention; they mixed their own DNA with that of early humans. This was not done for the purpose of lifting us up to their level, but rather to create an entire race of slaves, to further their unholy agenda. Now, all of this did not just happen in a vacuum so to speak; as there exists a kind of confederation of sentient, space-faring races in this galaxy. Just as in star trek these various races sometimes are at cross purposes, and conflict ensues. The ancient Indian text the Mahabharata relates the story of a massive war fought in the skies by star beings in flying ships called Vimanas. There were descriptions of terrifying weapons sounding exactly like nuclear explosions…in ancient India
Some of the accompanying artwork leaves very little to the imagination as to what the story was referring to. The point is I guess that some of these races seek to do whatever they wish at all times, and other races resist them when possible. Turf is carved out, boundaries established and rules of engagement agreed to. In the beginning this confederation of races decreed that Earth should be left alone to develop however it would, but the Archons had different ideas, and pushed the issue. We of course have all come to know of races such as the Pleiadeans and Arcturians who seem to be peaceful, advanced and benign, and yes, they also operate upon this planet on this plane of existence, mostly as allies to us beleaguered earth folk. Unlike the Archons, these other races tend to play by the 'rules' and are thus unable to just step in, although I cannot for the life of me see how doing so could possibly make things worse than they are now.
