I just installed OpenPandora and I am loving it!

It's much better this way than running an instance of firefox to hide it.

Now I need to go dig up some 'things' and see if there can be some modding done to them to work with this, since it has title & artist on the window caption. 

You can share your Pandora stations by clicking where it says 'share' and selecting 'Email current station to a friend'.

Enter your own email address and they will send the share link to you, so you can distribute it anywhere.

Here is a station I made by including all my favorite stuff:

Enjoy! 

Do you have large fonts enabled?

I can't find the setting on XP, but on Win9x I used to have the same problem with many programs if I had large fonts enabled.

Sometimes an entire feature that was supposed to be there was missing.

Have you tried resizing the window? (I know it's obvious, but I have to ask)

I haven't been able to duplicate your problem here on my pc.

Could it be possible mouser meant this?

The only Paragon product I have ever used is the CD-ROM Emulator. I have used it for years and LOVE it.

I have never heard of any. There might be some for real DOS that I don't know about but I don't think they would work unless you rebooted into DOS, and not in a console window within Win98.

[think]

I don't see anything wrong in what mouser said/did.

I tried very hard to resist replying to mastertech's attacks on my point of view, and instead tried to lighten up the mood of this thread twice, with humor.

The point mouser was trying to make, and it is a beneficial one for this forum (or any forum for that matter) is if you think someone is a troll, don't feed them and they won't come back for more.

Sometimes it's easier said than done, though. And I think mouser handled it the right way.  Mouser was just trying to remind us of that.

I, for one, walk away from this thread a little better of a person than I was before....stronger...able to resist falling into traps and avoiding becoming part of a problem instead of the easy solution.

Thanks mouser. 

[JOKE]

Remember, folks...this is the same Microsoft that brought you things like WinME...which even they have never had any clue on how to make it stable.  

Just in case anybody here didn't quite get it (cough* Mastertech *cough)...the above quote from me was a JOKE. Not something meant to be twisted around into a flame war....or taken seriously.

Even though I make fun of WinME and old slow computers and anything else in my life that might annoy me, I happen to love my old WinME computer very much...every bit of it and all it's odd quirks (especially some of it's odd quirks) and I wouldn't part with it or change it's OS again for all the money in the world.

Part of having a good sense of humor is being able to laugh at yourself, which I am doing right now...because I am bothering to post this reply.

Now let's try this again...just a little different this time...

Remember, folks...this is the same Microsoft that brought you things like MS Bob. 

There will always be real desktop software as long as there are situations where web based apps can't be used.

Such as businesses where they don't want to give employees internet access because they want them to be more productive and not messing around with flash games and forums. 

And what about airplanes? You can't use a web based app on your laptop during a flight.

And can you imagine trying to use one on a train when it suddenly goes through a tunnel and your access gets cut off?

I have a stable ME box in the other room. Part of the trick to making it stable was NOT using the WinME drivers that were supplied by Microsoft.

It runs much better with Win95 drivers supplied by the hardware manufacturers. 

What people don't realize is that everything uploaded to YouTube, the uploader has agreed to give certain rights to YouTube and any company that might buy them out in the future...certain rights...among them to reproduce, distribute, make derivative works from your content, and profit from it... without ever compensating you for it.

That means, for example, that a small time independent band can make a music video and upload it...and YouTube can take the music out of it and sell the rights to use it to some company and the band's song could end up being used in a commercial for hemorrhoid cream.

YouTube, or any company that buys YouTube (in this case, Google) would be the sole entity to profit from this. The band would become famous for their one-hit advertising wonder...but never receive a dime for it.

Or even worse if something like this were to happen:

An artist creates and uploads a short animation featuring a really cute bird with a coin. YouTube sublicenses derivative works based on it to Disney, which makes a full length feature movie based on the bird character and makes billions on it. Then they make even more off the merchandising, the tv series, dvd's, etc. The bird becomes as well known as Donald Duck.

YouTube gets their cut. The original artist gets nothing, except maybe a mention in the credits, if he is lucky.

Is it fair? no

Is it legal? Yes, because they AGREED to it when they uploaded the video. Their agreement says "exploit me" all over it.

Be really careful when you agree to things...make sure you know what you are getting yourself into.

For clarity, you retain all of your ownership rights in your User Submissions. However, by submitting the User Submissions to YouTube, you hereby grant YouTube a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicenseable and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, and perform the User Submissions in connection with the YouTube Website and YouTube's (and its successor's) business, including without limitation for promoting and redistributing part or all of the YouTube Website (and derivative works thereof) in any media formats and through any media channels.

Here is a case where a company (Sprint) didn't get the great praise they had hoped for with the free phones they were giving away to bloggers:

http://www.joelonsoftware...om/items/2006/09/19b.html

Over the last six months, Sprint has been trying to get bloggers (like me) to write about their new Power Vision Network by sending us free phones and letting us download music and movies and use the phones for free.

That’s rather nice of them, but honestly, I have a really strong aversion to writing about things just because some PR person wanted me to. Basically, there’s no better way to make me not want to write about something than to ask me to write about it. I accepted the free phone because, gosh, well, it’s a free phone, but I decided that I simply wouldn’t write about it no matter how much I liked it.

As it turns out, I had the opposite problem. The phone they sent me, an LG Fusic, is really quite awful, and the service, Power Vision, is tremendously misconceived and full of dumb features that don’t work right and cost way too much. So I’m going to review the dang phone anyway, even though if anybody from Sprint is paying attention they’re going to lose their lunch and some executive bonehead over there is going to go nuts and I sincerely hope that this doesn’t put an end to the entire free-phones-for-bloggers boondoggle, because I’d hate to get beaten up at Etech next year by all the other bloggers who would hate me for spoiling all the fun.

When it finally arrived, the physical appearance of the phone was rather disappointing. If you’ve been spoiled by Motorola’s latest phones, or the seamless, screwless, elegant iPod, the LG Fusic will strike you as butt-ugly. Where a Motorola RAZR has a solid case made out of almost sensual matte-black steel that just feels great, the LG Fusic is made out of the cheapest kind of gray plastic, the same material you find on a $3 toy. Where Motorola goes to great lengths to hide the screws, and minimize bumps and seams, the LG Fusic has dozens of ugly protuberances, gaps, holes, screws, seams, etc. Worst of all, the LG Fusic has no less than three of those evil, flimsy, rubbery plug-caps that are connected to the phone by the thinnest of filaments. You know, those stupid rubber plugs that you have to pull away to plug anything into the phone, and then they just dangle there like chicken wattles (when they’re not getting in the way of the thing you’re trying to plug in) for a couple of weeks until they finally tear off. The phone is almost twice as thick as a RAZR. It comes with a break-offable front plate which can be used to change the accent color of the very front of the phone. Your choices are Barbie Pink, Barbie Green, Barbie Blue, and Black which would be the only stylish choice, if only it didn’t clash so badly with the rest of the phone. (Believe me, it is hard to make black clash with anything, but LG did it.) Overall this phone seriously looks like a Fisher Price toy, not a top-of-the-line cell phone.

Read the full review...it gets even better.

Remember, folks...this is the same Microsoft that brought you things like WinME...which even they have never had any clue on how to make it stable.  

If they are simple .html or .htm files, it is not necessary to install anything or upload them anywhere for testing...just open them in a browser on your pc.

or you can always do like I did and make 2 of them...one on each side and set them to autohide:

Some of my experiences & discoveries:

• The more productive I try to become, the less productive I really am.
• The more I think about, it the less I do it.
• I am still no good at saying 'no' to other people.
• I am still at my best at getting it done if someone hands it to me at midnight and says "get it done by morning'.
• I am using my post-it software notes more...and setting alarms to remember things....I am not forgetting birthdays or bills...or forgetting to remind other people of stuff.
• My pc is still the only place in my house that's organized...obsessively organized.
• I used to be a lot happier.
• I feel like I am trying to be someone else. I miss being me.
• I can't remember how I used to do it...and it's depressing me.
• I have always done things my way, never liked doing them someone else's way. I feel like I have become a slave driver to myself and doing some serious rebelling at the same time....which is why nothing is getting done.
• I feel like I have lost a lot of my creativity and enthusiasm I used to have.

I have to stop this....It was a mistake. Comparing before this started to now, I was better off back in August.
Maybe I was already doing things right...for me...and maybe I screwed it all up.

I can understand the struggles nudone is going through...and the emotions it is stirring up...I feel it too...and I didn't used to.

app, maybe it's a problem with AOL Explorer? you can try installing it on some other PC and view this forum to see if the problem is replicated.

No can do...my other pc is WinME, which can't run AOLex. 

And this seems to only happen with SMF forums. I would be interested in knowing if other IE based tabbed browsers have this problem too....like Maxthon, maybe?

I found it!

This is the one I was playing yesterday:

http://games.aol.com/game...inca-quest/30748/gamewide

I love this game...and there are so many versions and variations of this classic available for Windows...and in flash or java applets. And I think I love them all.

I have had the full Windows DX version of this Java game for many years:

http://www.popcap.com/gam...opup.php?theGame=dynomite

here is another version in flash:

I can't find the one I was playing yesterday. 

Found these today:

This one features a stripping girl and I have no idea how far she will strip: http://www.planetboredom.net/player.php?id=898


I wonder how many other versions we can find. 

- OdoPlus (http://www.fridgesoft.de/) - Know where do you click most in your everyday and how much kilometers you move the mouse. Just for fun.

That's what the blue banner in my signature is about.  Click that and you will see how we are doing on the DC Whatpulse team....how many keys we have typed, how many mouse clicks, and each user's individual page will also show how many miles they have moved their mouse.

And if you are not listed there and want to be...please join!

It doesn't log what you type or click...it just counts the number of keystrokes and mouse clicks and distance the mouse has moved.

[pros:]

going back in time a bit:

my chair is horrible, and i've been on the hunt for a proper chair for a while, but haven't found an acceptable one in my price range.

I was using a gymnastic ball there for a while
I'm going to go back to it when I get a floor ring for under it to stop it rolling  

pros:
you sit really straight (its very good for your back)
cheap   (I was looking at @ chair/stool for €400 & it was talking about its advantages over a gymball which got me thinking - apart from preffering to have a holiday to a €400 stool)
you actually get to exercise while you sit - (it can almost be a bit of a strain at the beginning ..)

You are not supposed to use a ring to keep it from rolling. Proper posture will keep the ball in place, as it should.

Another pro:

You can't fall asleep at your pc...or you end up on the floor really quick.   

and as far as a cover, you can buy a large piece of stretch terry from a fabric store and tie it around the ball, matching opposite corners on a diagonal...that should work. Just make sure you put the knots to the side and not the bottom where the ball touches the floor...or where you sit.

My daughter used one of those huge balls you can win at a carnival as a desk chair for about 3 years, till it finally deflated. She could get away with that because she's like a feather...under 100 lbs. And it was all pink & swirly looking...matched her room quite nicely.

app, can you check out www.simplemachines.org and see if you have the problem on their forum?

If it has a lot of posts like this page, I do:

I have tried the Jedi Window Dock, and it seems to work well...except when you use it to tab a tabbed window or anything else mdi...it doesn't refresh properly...leaves everything ghosty.
