You know, net neutrality in simple terms. It's not a series of tubes, it's the transparency and openness that we want. We want you to support net neutrality and make your voice heard to the FCC (which you'll only have this until the 15th). Without your voice being heard, this country will be falling behind on innovation and sciences, leading you with censorship without any voice being heard. Make them Title II and you'll never see this censorship problem.

Remember, all packets are created equal and censorship-and-surveillance-free, but some of them are beyond that, whether proprietary or open-sourced or semi-open-sourced, they must be created equal.

Update: Since the GOP took over the Senate this November, I really think that this issue might be touched as they go against it, making it harder for us to defend it somehow. *Although FCC's Wheeler had proposed a controversial hybrid regulatory approach about this, it's between wholesale and retail flow that they're talking about. Critics say that this rule may bring extension to defend big ISPs (but not of the internet users) and it's likely to fail in court.

Not only deviantART is alone whatsoever, but other sites could be affected since yesterday, according to some news reports. Security researchers found this vulnerability in the OpenSSL library yesterday, but you could find out more information there.

Well, this is the end of Windows XP, I'll hope that you should seek alternatives tho. If you want those alternatives even if you are tired of Microsoft, please consider using Linux. If you would like to keep up with Windows, you can either upgrade your PC to Windows 7 or 8 as you wish, but make sure that your PC is compatible as you upgrade its RAM and its CPU.

There are tips that you should keep it up with it, even if your work is in there, just back it up using your flash drive or extended hard drive that's worth 8GB+.

I hope that helps out.
Ciao.

If you want to replace both Explorer and ExplorerFrame files, here are some codes. Notice that it requires a resource hacker [Resource Hacker, Restorator] to do so.

64-bit users: Watch out for your system type, if you are attempting to replace a 32-bit ExplorerFrame/Explorer replacement on a 64-bit OS, it's impossible to apply the theme that way. You'll only need to do is to have them replaced in a 64-bit version of ExplorerFrame and Explorer only. The location of ExplorerFrame and Explorer are in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\.

OS: Windows 7, 8, and 8.1
Requirements: Downloaded .bmp files
Difficulty: Easy-moderate

Launch a resource hacker and open up both Explorer.exe and ExplorerFrame.dll files in order to replace the original files to modded ones that you have; gain access to their Bitmap folder.

Open up your downloaded theme's Explorer and ExplorerFrame bmp files to replace the following files I'm going to show you below:
[For Restorator users, just drag and drop one file at a time / right-click a file and click Assign]

Explorer
6801, 6805, 6809: Regular-sized Explorer start buttons

ExplorerFrame itself
280: The frame itself
288: GSRD [go, stop, refresh, dropdown menu] buttons

Back-forth buttons
577: Default
578: Hover
579: Inactive
581: Pressed

Search/stop buttons
34560: Search
34569: Stop button inactive
34575: Stop button highlighted
34581: Stop button while being pressed

If you are finished with those replacement files, save them and close it out if you are going to make sure you install the theme at ease.

That's it.

OS requirements: Windows 7 / 8 /8.1
Other tools: Any resource hacker [i.e. Restorator, Resource Hacker]

If you want to mod both Explorer and ExplorerFrame if you have downloaded a visual style that have a .bmp file in it [in any system folder from downloaded themes], I'm going to show you how to replace those files in to both Explorer.exe and ExplorerFrame.dll.

You'll only need the .bmp files and some replacement files [both Explorer and ExplorerFrame], and a resource hacker to modify the inside of both files.

Open up a resource hacker and open up Explorer or ExplorerFrame or both simultaneously. After you open the inside of the files, go where it says Bitmap to replace the original files into the ones that you have created/downloaded from.

Here are the codes for easy replacements.

[Explorer.exe]
6801, 6805, 6809 - Regular-sized Explorer start buttons

[ExplorerFrame itself]
280 - Frame
288 - GSRD buttons

[Back-forth buttons]
577 - Default
578 - Hover
579 - Inactive
581 - Pressed

[Search / Stop button]
34560 - Search button
34569 - Stop button [inactive]
34575 - Stop button [highlighted]
34581 - Stop button [pressed]

Save these and exit out of there. If you have Restorator, you'll need to grab the original replacement file just in case to replace them and while applying a theme.

That's it.
