yeah and instead of z: you can use * and it will pick the last available drive letter.

Had another idea/need for a tool, wonder what you guys think of this:

Every time your computer reboots, it searches for the mapped shared folders. This will slow down the boot process enormously, especially if the other computers are turned off. However, manually mounting shares is a pain. You are able to prevent this delay using my nany program. It will remember a list of network shares that get mapped to drive letters when  the program is started, with an option to start this program at boot.

edit: I've just been told Windows 7 startup is not delayed anymore because of this.

Loads of talk here if you interested:

You don't need a program, you need SSH it already exists.

Anyone interested in a program that would mark documents/files as templates then easily allow you to create new documents from these templates? It's more a interface gimmick than anything, but I noticed I never use the context menu > new menu and I also never reuse documents (always start from scratch) but it would be much more productive if I could base files off other files and have a nice list of templates to choose from.

Example:
New "Timesheet"
New "todo list"
New "meeting report"

etc.

Thought it would be interesting to people on this forum that one of the directions publishing seems to try out is 'DonationPublishing':

Sharing will turn off the nag wall for 1 year, or until you clear your browser cache, view the article in a different browser or on a different computer. Donating some money lets you register an account - if you're logged in, the nag wall never appears. You also get some extra features on the site if you have an account.
Like the New York Times paywall, people who poke around in the source code should be able to figure out how to turn it off without interacting with it at all. For the adventurous, there are also a couple of easter eggs that defeat the paywall in amusing ways (but I'm not giving them away here).
By doing all this, we turn the paywall into a game instead of an obligation, because what we're really after is engagement, not your money.

[I do not need any billing functionality.]

I'm looking for a webservice or free utility to make time estimates for software development. My typical estimate consists of a series of tasks (each with a description, units, hours per unit) grouped (with subtotals in hours) + buffer option in percentage, resulting in a total hours + effective time (total hours spread over a schedule, for example 6 hours per day 3 days per week). Not sure if this breakdown is common.

Image explains more than a thousand words..

I do not need any billing functionality. Might make a good coding snack, or there might be something out there that's more tailed than Excel and save me time. Optional features:  it could possibly collect all the estimates I've made in the past grouped by client and if they could be signed off via email then it would be completely perfect.

[you MUST read this. Fully.]

One of the best articles I've ever read, you MUST read this. Fully.

My favorite tonic for procrastination—which I have mentioned in passing previously—is what I call a dash, which is simply a short burst of focused activity during which you force yourself to do nothing but work on the procrastinated item for a very short period of time—perhaps as little as just one minute. By breaking a few tiny pebbles off of your perceived monolith, you end up psyching yourself out of your stupor, as well as making much-needed progress on your overdue project. Neat, huh?

Seeing the basically useless state of the phone on initial boot, I told my mother that I’d take the phone for an hour or so and give it back to her “cleaned up.” I deleted apps. I configured notifications. I set up accounts. None of it was easy, and every step of the way I ran into really bizarre problems. The elegant Google widgets that come with stock Android were stripped out of the phone. The camera app, besides looking like it had been designed in 1995, just wouldn’t rotate when I turned the phone on its side. Apps that worked on my Droid Incredible crashed as soon as I opened them on the Charge. After about an hour of poking and prodding the battery had dropped from 95% to 50%. Completely frustrated, I turned to the internet, where confused users were posting questions with titles like “Should my battery last more than 6 hours?” and “I think my phone is broken…”

Who ever thinks this is a good idea, to make people more paranoid about installing (your) software.

I heard front row has been removed from Lion.

[Autohotkey]

Got it to work Great.

Formatted for Autohotkey with the GeSHI Syntax Highlighter [copy or print]
Errorlevel =
GuiControl,Enable,btn1%a_index%
		If ErrorLevel 
			Gui, Add, Button, vbtn1%a_index%, %ButtonLabel%
		Else
		{
			GuiControl,Text,btn1%a_index%,%ButtonLabel%
			GuiControl,Show,btn1%a_index%
		}

I'm still not sure why I removed the variables initially, so will do serious testing.. Thanks so much skwire sometimes  AHK just lacks a simple example.

Thanks, sorry that was lazy typing I meant GuiControl. However, my buttons to not have variables assigned to them for a specific reason I cannot remember why, is there a way to do it without?

[Autohotkey]

In a loop I create a bunch of buttons with the following code:
Code:

Formatted for Autohotkey with the GeSHI Syntax Highlighter [copy or print]
Gui, Add, Button, gButtonDestinationSelect HWNDButtonDestinationSelect%a_index%, %ButtonLabel%

Later on I want to hide/disable all these buttons using GuiControlGet, Hide but I'm not able to 'point' to these buttons, could anyone write a quick example?

This month we launched a project to fix Subversion merge.  Subversion fills a need for simplicity and team synchronization.  It also has an advantage handling large files and repositories.  However, there is one thing about Subversion that definitely sucks:  Merging.

We've started work with the Apache Subversion team to fix the merge in a way that will be compatible with existing servers and clients.  Once this is released, we will be able to bring great modern workflows to Subversion, including contributor branching and merging, merge requests, code reviews, etc.  We'll future-proof your existing Subversion repository and accelerate your development.

What is the best bit os 64bit or 32bit for 2gb of ram?

as is? 32bit as long as you are not going to upgrade it over 4GB though...

Also replaced seesmic with metrotwit. Seems a bit less infodense, which is good. Got freaking mad with 6 accounts on seesmic with all the columns.

Some software is feature limited, some is time limited, some don't have a demo at all (?). For software that you ended up buying after trying it first, what type of trial did it have?

It will not be compatible with Windows 7 because that didn't exist at the time of making MX2004. Since then we've had Dreamweaver CS, Dreamweaver CS2, Dreamweaver CS3, Dreamweaver CS4, Dreamweaver CS5.

Any malware that changes your hosts file will be able to do so without you getting prompted if you turn off UAC. This file can only be edited as an administrator, and when changed could make it look like you are on a certain website (say paypal) while in reality you are using some one elses.

You could combine the prompts if you run both from another UAC'ed process (not sure if you can elevate a batch file)

Your point makes sense mouser, and this is the first time I heard about posting hash files in multiple places. Who ever checks that hashes are identical in multiple locations though before checking the download hash matches it? If that is what is required then I think the practicality of someone correctly using hashes is close to zero. How does someone know the other locations that store the hash file? A hacker could simple change the link to another site it controls, so now you need to verify the locations as well as the hash files. *head explodes*

I sometimes see md5/sha1 hashes available to check programs/isos against. What is the point of them?

I know they can be used to verify that the program/software was downloaded without crc errors, but any good installer checks its contents for this before installing, and I've not had any crc errors for years in downloads. Hashes supposedly can tell you if the file has been tampered with, as I read the other day where an author's downloads were manipulated and they said: Always check your hashes. However surely it's trivial to change the webpage where the hash is listed or the hash file itself? How do you know that the person that made the installer and the hash file are the same person and are in fact the correct author of the download? So in my view it's not any help in this area either.

I must be missing something, so I ask: what is a good use of these hashes?

Nice solution if you want a bit of extra functionality!
