i've been trying to access the site many times throughout the day and i still haven't been able to load up the page even once. if anyone who has it can put up a mirror or email it to me at [email protected] that would be great.

i get nothing but an "Unknown MySQL Server error." message when ever i try to goto that site... they really should have spread that file around to places like Download.com, they obviously couldn't handle the onslaught, heh...

this was obviously going to happen, i know it sounds stupid, but i actually bet a freind of mine somethign would happen to the site or it wouldnt be released today. lol i'm $5 richer! hehe the bet was on deadlines people release on the internet with certain programs, etc..it was just a "AIM+ wont be released" type thing.

Thats what happens when you have sites like this who specify a deadline and never come through, or something "happens" to the site. I know big-0 is reliable, but i just figured i'd have some fun in winning a bet.

:)

anway, ill host it too if anyone has it.

Mike

well i dont know about that, but they kept saying their server could handle it and that they wouldnt give the download to download.com and other similar sites so people would go to www.big-o-software.com to download it...well the server couldnt handle it and now no one has it...

I personally think that AIM 5 is terrible (about 5 times the memory usage of 4.x) and therefore aim+ has been working perfectly for me ever since it came out :) I just use it to block all adds/buttons/tabs and then use the logging feature.

Hopefully the logging will be a little better this time with images and everything but i dont see myself upgrading to 5.x anytime soon (if not ever)

I understand the software is free and everything but over 6 months sence their last release? Now it wouldn't have been so bad I guess if it was stand alone application but sence it works with aim and a new version of aim has been out and their software doesn't work with it (or at lease doesn't work great). what I also didn't like is when they said to the tune of "oh ya well its done but we wanna wait till our 1 year birthday, so just wait a few more weeks" I also agree that alot of people may switch to dead aim...I was going to switch to that but I always have aim on my second monitor and for some reason dead aim didn't like that at all, i'm not even sure if that was the problem but in the end deadaim didn't like me... maby in the future it will.

well, the only thing people can do who want this program is wait. hehe, however, i myself use AIM 5 with DeadAIm. Too bad Matt never updated MyIM to 3.0 otherwise i would have stuck with his. AIM+ is all hype. They annouce, finally, after 6 months they will release 3.0, then on the release day, the web site suddenly crashes, and they decide to not release it to download.com, etc..

whatever, all in all, DeadAIM does the same exact thing as AIM+. I'd wish some of you people who bash DeadAIM and are hardcor

AIM+ fans just stfu. They are the same exact programs, and in my opinion, Dead AIM is already far more superior, just because it's function is directly on top of the aim exe file, no seperate exe. Sometimes, having the speperate exe causes confusion, etc..well, to some people.

MyIM did it the same way, built there program on top of the AOL exe.

big-o-idiots. :no: might as well put it to rest boys, MyIM and DeadIM will take you down because of this. :D

anyway, i know thats harsh, but thats what people get, especially big name software, that put a release date, get everyone all pumped up, and then receive a MYSql error. lol and THEN not even have the courtesy to spead the thing so people can get it. But nooo....too greedy for that, your web site's gotta get the hits. ;)

    • Meta announces a major leadership change at WhatsApp

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Meta announces a major leadership change at WhatsApp by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta has announced a major leadership change at WhatsApp, with Will Cathcart stepping down after seven years of leading the world's largest messaging platform. CRED CEO and founder Kunal Shah will take over as the next global head of WhatsApp. CRED is an Indian fintech company focused on creditworthy consumers. As part of the transition, Meta is also making a minority investment in CRED through its Series H funding round. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Will Cathcart will remain at Meta and move into a new role focused on building new products from the ground up. Cathcart led WhatsApp during a major growth phase, helping the app reach more than 3 billion users worldwide. He also played a key role in expanding WhatsApp’s business offerings while keeping privacy and end-to-end encryption central to the product. Meta’s Chief Product Officer, Chris Cox, said Kunal Shah was selected after a search for a leader who understands WhatsApp’s global scale and future potential. In a leaked internal memo, Cox described Shah as a “serial founder” and one of India’s most respected entrepreneurs, adding that he brings “entrepreneurial energy” and a strong product mindset to the role. As part of the Series H funding round, CRED is raising ₹8,550 crore, or about $900 million, in a round led by Meta. The funding values CRED at ₹43,239 crore, or about $4.5 billion, on a post-money basis. It is important to note that this investment will not give Meta access to CRED customer information. Kunal posted the following on X regarding his new role at Meta: Although Kunal Shah will be stepping away from his operating role as CRED CEO, he will retain his personal shareholding in the company.
    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      By fishnet37222 · Posted

      It wouldn't be hard for me to turn off my TV, if I had one. For one thing, I never scroll Instagram. The only reason I have an account is because Meta created one when it merged the account systems for its various services.
    • OpenAI's new GPT-5.5-Cyber tops Claude Mythos 5 in vulnerability benchmark

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI's new GPT-5.5-Cyber tops Claude Mythos 5 in vulnerability benchmark by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI today announced a major expansion of Daybreak, a cybersecurity initiative designed to help defenders find, validate, and fix software vulnerabilities earlier in the development process. The availability of powerful AI models has definitely changed the cybersecurity landscape by making vulnerability discovery much faster. However, the bigger bottleneck for the industry is now patching those vulnerabilities. Impacted software teams need to validate the discovered issues, understand their impact, develop fixes, test them, and deploy patches. Back in March, OpenAI launched a preview of Codex Security, which uses agentic reasoning with automated validation to discover high-impact issues and actionable fixes specific to the codebase. Since then, it has scanned more than 30 million commits across over 30,000 codebases; more than 70,000 findings were marked as fixed by human reviewers, while over 500,000 findings were automatically determined to be fixed. Now, OpenAI is releasing an updated Codex Security plugin that can run deep scans, review recent code changes, generate security reports, trace attack paths, validate findings, and create codebase-specific patches for human review. It can also triage findings from existing scanners, advisories, bug bounty reports, and ticketing systems. OpenAI says the plugin can export results to vulnerability management systems and integrate with workflows using SARIF files, CodeQL queries, the Codex CLI, and the Codex app. Back in May, OpenAI announced the preview of GPT-5.5-Cyber, a new model built on top of the recently released GPT-5.5, designed for specialized cybersecurity work. Today, OpenAI launched the full version of GPT-5.5-Cyber through a limited release for verified defenders. On CyberGym, GPT-5.5-Cyber scored 85.6%, compared with 81.8% for GPT-5.5 and 83.8% for Claude Mythos 5. It also scored 39.5% on ExploitGym, compared with 25.95% for GPT-5.5, and 69.8% on SEC-bench Pro, compared with 63.1%. OpenAI also announced the new Daybreak Cyber Partner Program, which will allow security vendors and service providers to use GPT-5.5 with Trusted Access for Cyber in their products and services. Accenture, Akamai, Cisco, Cloudflare, CrowdStrike, IBM, Palo Alto Networks, Proofpoint, SentinelOne, Wiz, Zscaler, and others were listed as initial partners for this program. OpenAI is also launching Patch the Planet with Trail of Bits, HackerOne, Calif, researchers, and maintainers. More than 30 open-source projects have committed to participate, including cURL, Go, Python, Sigstore, and pyca/cryptography.
    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs by Sayan Sen Earlier today AMD released a major graphics driver update as it brings support for FSR 4.1 to Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs. The new update, version 26.6.2, also brings support for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and more. And while the driver technically supports Windows 10 version 21H2 and newer, the tech giant has confirmed that there is a major issue with the new driver on non-Windows 11 PCs as it fails to launch properly on such systems. The error message says, "The version of AMD Software that you have launched is not compatible with your currently installed AMD graphics driver." Therefore on the surface it looks like a compatibility problem. AMD has also confirmed that the device manager will display the yellow bang or yellow exclamation sign alongside your GPU under the Display adapters dropdown. Here is what the Radeon team's official advisory recommends to affected users: "Users Running Windows 10 and AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 May Encounter Yellow Bang in Device Manager Affecting AMD Radeon RX Series Graphics ... Our Engineers are currently investigating this issue and will provide a fix once it is available. Affected users may revert to AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.1 as a temporary workaround." As such you should revert back to the previous 26.6.1 driver which was released earlier this month. In case you were looking to play Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations you will probably have to wait a while if you want the driver to support those games officially. You can find the support article here on Microsoft's website.
