Rai stones, any one?

Regarding Steampunk, I don't know if the following counts, and I didn't finish it, but there was:

  The Difference Engine

May be you can enumerate more of the ones you didn't like

Too...many...features...

Sorry for the useless post

I don't intentionally read fiction these days, but in earlier times found the following to be of interest:

  Stories of Your Life and Others
  True Names
  The Peace War
  Marooned in Realtime
  A Fire Upon the Deep
  Maneki Neko
  The Left Hand of Darkness
  Eon
  Aristoi

+1 for those 2 Neal S. books too

Thanks for sharing this

Odd...now that I look closely, I see that the notebook in front of me has one key for Pause and one for Break -- though I have to press the Fn key to get that functionality to work.

They don't both lead to the same behavior FWIW.

Pause works as expected and Break brings up a context-sensitive menu and then acts like Ctrl+Break (Toggle FARR and Copy Selection)...

In a separate Windows 7 Professional 64-bit installation, this didn't happen.

This was a fresh OS installation as well as a fresh FARR installation.


May be an ownership / permission issue...?

A guess...

From History of computers during 1980 to 1990:

Apple files a copyright infringement against Microsoft for Windows 2.03 and Hewlett Packard for New Wave in comparison with their Macintosh operating system.

This sounds reasonable

Thanks for the review


A few comments as a fellow user...

I follow the instructions here for portable installation -- IIRC, this may bypass the AskStub app running (haven't checked recently).

My favorite feature is the bookmarking support.  Between this app and JPdfBookmarks (useful for import/export of bookmarks), my PDF bookmark needs appear to be met for the most part.

An Interview with Brian Kernighan on C and The C Programming Language

For reference, I think from a bit back:

  Emerging Security Issues Involving the Presence of Microphones and Video Cameras in the Computing Environment

This technique works here too


The poster's point about the red x does seem worth considering though -- I think it's at least confusing.  FWIW, verified that it happens here.

I recently use ScreenshotCaptor's scrolling capture to successfully capture a few pages from a site and combined the results into a PDF (ImageMagick) and added a table of contents (PDF-XChange Viewer / JPDFBookmarks).  Worked very nicely

One snag I hit was with a long web page -- if I had been more careful in reviewing the results I would have noticed that more scrolling was needed.  Didn't know that it was long though so wasn't on the look out...I don't suppose that the preview could consist of two portions -- one for the top or currently displayed portion and one for the bottom portion...

Thanks

Puzzled by difference in behavior...

With some search results in FARR (2.200.01) under Windows 7 Professional:

  Right-clicking brings up context sensitive menu with no letters underlined

  Pressing the apps / menu key on the keyboard instead of right-clicking brings up a context sensitive menu that does have underlined letters

Any ideas why?

Some (?) rechargeable vacuums? 

When the Linux Action Show (or GNU/Linux Action Show for this episode ) decided to celebrate their 200th show with something special, they scored a major coup by getting RMS himself to be on the show for an hour of give & take. It's interesting to watch with RMS on his soapbox and Brian Lunduke trying to work around something (that for RMS) is already settled. In many respects it's the perfect example of why this argument continues - and where both sides of the argument come up short and fail to reach any sort of agreement.

Thanks a lot for this.   FWIW, the interview looks to be starting around 0:10:19 here.


I have found it worth my time to read what he has to say -- may not agree with it all but definitely worth attention IMHO.



Been working through Free Software Free Society (PDF with table of contents) and have found the issue of control being expressed clearly.

v2.107.04 is a new update with substantially improved search speeds in some cases, especially directory listings

A subjective comment here, but it does feel faster with directories

Thanks for posting this


Not sure if it's my environment, but I ended up navigating to 12:14 or so to see the interview.

Brief testing under Windows 7 Pro 64-bit with FARR 2.107.01 (tried running as admin as well as non-admin):

Dialog displays for (works as expected?):

  System
  Display

Nothing seems to happen:

  Mouse
  Keyboard

Error dialog (sorry non-English text which I didn't manage to parse):

  Fonts
  Speech

With 2.107.02 seems much better -- though the dialogs that came up before were different...


After typing cpanel, it seems to take a while for the control panel items to show up here -- if I didn't know to wait I might wonder whether it was working correctly  With 2.107.02 seems much faster  


Side note: didn't see mention of this thread in the beta thread -- if it hasn't been mentioned there, may be it would make sense to?

I have a pretty hard time with web browsers on mobile phones due to my finger size -- things are easier for me when the screen is responsive to finger nails, but that type of screen seems to be mostly a thing of the past.

Pure speculation: For a company that makes money on more time being spent using the network, use of things like web browsers (of course not via WiFi or Bluetooth) seems helpful for revenue.  Smaller screens might translate into less use of the web browser (and of course many other applications) and consequently less revenue.

More speculation: If the smart watch idea (I've heard it referred to some place as "first screen" -- I presume meaning the first point of screening or first screen one looks at) starts to spread, the amount of time one spends needlessly using the network might get reduced significantly.  Perhaps good for users, but seemingly not so for entities that are positioned to make money off of network use.

What do you think?

I find it ironic that the more expensive 'full' or 'retail' license carries fewer privileges than the less expensive OEM license does.

Is it the case that OEM licenses are purchased in bulk by OEMs?
