I’m one of the idiots who got too eager to get the untethered iPhone 3GS jailbreak (had blackra1n, and then used SpriritJb so end up with a recovery boot loop).

But thankfully looks like there is a solution:

Preventing baseband update as a last-ditch effort [iPhone Dev Team]

I’ve confirmed it to be working and have the ipsw here http://www.multiupload.com/PHQTQNZNHS

Do note that you should make sure that you know how to use iRecovery, to get it out of the recovery mode.
And also a sim to activate it(specific carrier if its locked).
And more importantly if you want to unlock it you MUST use blacksn0w RC2! not 1. the new one contains a fix for the new 3GS

• Get an SSD to up me pc’s performansh
• Get a quieter alternative to pc cooling
• …Get an semi-uber camera, all I want is quick shots and nice enough quality result
• Shuttle D-10
• Get a… netbook. maybe when sony’s vaio p are cheaper, but then when their successors are out I’d probably want them

most def:

• Get Nanovision MiMo UM-740 – usb displaylink external touchscreen monitor awesomenesh

Currently using an unusually complex way to connect to the internet and more importantly it actually works.

Shortly its:

• optus prepaid 3g (with first month unlimited data offer)
• -> iphone 3g (jailbroken, which lets me install pdaNet, it allows me to use the iphone to tether the net connection through ad-hoc wifi
• -> ad-hoc to my pc’s usb wifi
• -> pc, downloading stuff at 280kbps!!

Well okay its not that complex but it is still bizzare. I could’ve used my n95 and use nokia’s software to connect but this… this doesn’t require any drivers and other craps, all I had to do was setup the ad-hoc wifi between the two.
The best thing is that its pretty much well over one month and I’m still getting unlimited quota =D (and with only a couple of cents of credit left in the prepaid)

So.. alt-tabbing out of the game is easy but the with time it takes to alt-tabbing back into it I could go to the toilet, pee, go to the pantry, have a drink, and wanting to pee again.
Most games like warcraft3 simply uses a shortcut plus the -windowed option, or it even offers the option in the game setting, but no.. not grid.
Aaanyways for any reason of conveniece, here’s how:

1. Find out where your GRID’s saved games folder is, usually its under C:\Users\xxx\Documents\Codemasters\GRID\ or that’s “My Documents” for XP users
2. go to hardwaresettings folder
3. open up hardware_settings_config.xml with a text editor
4. look for fullscreen=”true” and change it to… fullscreen=”false”. Done XD

Ok so I just found out my game of GRID stutters during loading screen cause I moved the install from my new drive to an older one… =< being the last one to finish the loading screen always signifies that your pc isn't up to date xD
