General Software Discussion / Free code signing certificate for Open-Source Developers

« on: March 24, 2013, 06:57 PM »

Just thought I'd pass on this article in case anyone is interested.
http://pete.akeo.ie/...ficate-for-open.html
The blog post links to the Polish "CERTUM PCC – Certification Authority " but you can read the article to get the gist of it.

I was getting a copy of Rufus when I decided to read that blog.

Edit: Probably would have been better off in Developer's Corner, so move it there if so.

General Software Discussion / Dupetrasher 2009 and asmdev

« on: September 01, 2012, 04:02 PM »

I didn't want to re-open these old threads
https://www.donation...opic=20532.msg184702
https://www.donation...ndex.php?topic=19901

I recently needed to cleanup a drive - which I knew had plenty of duplicate stuff.
I mucked around with a bunch of duplicate file finder tools, but none of them seemed to handle
finding duplicate folders easily - the first step in cleaning up the mess.
I re-installed DupeTrasher 2009 and got the job done in flat out no (Edit: not "not") time

There was mention of a DupeTrasher 2010 so I looked for an update.
But both http://www.dupetrasher.com and www.asmdev.net seem to have had no activity for ages.

Member asmdev appears to have last logged in on 2010-11-03, his last post was in late 2009.
So I was wondering, does anyone know anything more?
Thanks.

Found Deals and Discounts / 010 Editor (hex editor) discounted today at bitsdujour.com

« on: July 22, 2011, 06:21 AM »

Home/Academic license is $19.95. Commercial is $49.95

Normal prices are:

$49.95 US (Home/Academic Use) $129.95 US (Commercial Use)

Any users here who can comment on the capabilities of it?
Is there anything else that has a similar feature set?
Not much time for decent research before the deal runs out.
Thanks

The terms of the license seem generous

010 Editor is currently licensed per user, not per machine. This means that if you purchase 010 Editor, you can install it on multiple machines as long as it is just you using the software. If other people are using the software too, a multi-user license must be purchased.

Except that Am I a commercial user or a home/academic user?
This is particularly irksome.
If I buy a license (in my personal capacity) to use at work, I will have to pay the commercial price.


On sale here: bitsdujour.com

General Software Discussion / Microsoft Streets And Trips 2008 Activation crud

« on: September 14, 2008, 07:23 PM »

Having used releases of Streets And Trips back to 2003,  I had decided to skip 2007 and wait for 2008.
That was an unfortunate decision, as 2008 now includes activation crud.
Perhaps 2007 did as well, I don't know.

Seriously Microsoft, no more.
You will not see another $ for software from me - ever.

General Software Discussion / IE URL Lock

« on: October 23, 2006, 06:41 PM »

IE URL Lock
http://ieurllock.sourceforge.net/

Rambling...
While Opera has been my browser of choice since about version version 3, it's handling of certain sites has always been less than stellar - often because of poor (or deliberate) coding on the web site itself. Yahoo webmail is an example of this and Opera's masking feature does not always cut it either.

Over the years, I've messed around with various schemes/free tools to restrict sites that IE can access. However none, including IE's Content Advisor, worked to my satisfaction.

Tonight I came across IE URL Lock on Sourceforge, installed it and within 5 minutes my problems with Yahoo, Gmail and others was over. Well, so it appears anyway. We'll see over the next few days.

Any current users of  IE URL Lock, please comment.
