As a Simpsons fan, I was disappointed that I heard The Simpsons will be axed on Chanel 10 and replaced with an extended 30 minutes of the news.

Simpsons cost $25000 per episode to broadcast, so the decision will save 10 about $6 million per year.

At least if they do axe the 6pm timeslot, they will continue to broadcast the continuing episodes and the 21, and 22 seasons that are to come.

You can easily find unprotected files by simply doing some Google Searches for web directories that do not have a default index file.

With these directories, you can find some interesting and unprotected files like videos, swf files and music. So here’s a few tips on how to find such files.

To find unprotected directories just Google Search

-inurl(html|htm|php) intitle:”index of” +”last modified” +”parent directory” +description +size

This will find most unprotected directories.

If your only looking for video’s, search for:

-inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:”index of” +”last modified” +”parent directory” +description +size +(wmv|avi)

And for music,

-inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:”index of” +”last modified” +”parent directory” +description +size +(wma|mp3)

If you want to find pictures of certain people, searches like this may be useful:

[-inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:”index of” +”last modified” +”parent directory” +description +size +(jpg|gif) "Bill Gates"]

You can spend hours of searching the net to find useful things. If you find anything interesting, let us know.
