currently using subversion for web dev, and it's all good 

oh noez

f0dder, no its not bad, if you research the question, you will find it's not bad to drink it.. (some thing I done when I was worried if it was bad to drink as much vinegar as I did.. lol)

I love vinegar, I can eat any food with it, and yes, I usually drink a few mouth fulls with my meals
(not to mention sauce, sauce and vinegar, I don't think I would eat as much with out them.. )

edit: I drink regular vinegar.. this vinegar made especially for drinking, never tried that tho.. I'm happy with my V, I don't drink drink it, but with meals I have a substantial amount

AceText ftw.

This is what you are looking for:  AceText - text & clipboard manager (for coders, writers, etc.)

 

Very nice review Ken! I just installed and tried Linkman last night, looks solid, will play with it more the coming days.. once again nice write up.. and a good piece of software here. 

Question:

I some how disabled/removed the button from the browsers (in the title bar, right side next to the 3 regular ones), how can I get it back?

Well reviewed there Lashiec 

Offer still up?

Long live the firebug!

Firebug killer, are you kidding me? Sounds pretty cool any way, about time of a good tool for the Opera browser for web dev

Hi Babis, yeah AceText is a really great program 

To answer your questions in one answer, sorry I don't know but for sure you can email the program author and ask, and request new features, etc. and usually you'll get a quick response.

I've played with clipmate minimally, but yeah, clipmate does a whole lot of other stuff, AceText just deals with plain text.. Although some RTF wouldn't hurt ) .. It gets a bit boring looking at just the plain text and feels like a mess.. maybe its just me..

I don't have a son, so no.

It's up to the developer to make user friendly products (just like software [annoyances], bad practices, etc.).. If the captcha is done correctly, then it shouldn't be too much of a problem to pass.. Then again, they (some developers) try not to make it too easy, for obvious reasons.

Some captcha's won't make you think angry thoughts, and some will.. What can ya do? 

Nirsoft, Sysinternals, and a few others.. gotta love these tools Power users must know about these tools!

I'm sure they're sick of you too! But hey, I too have some trouble with them every now and then (Captcha's).. And there to make it a better place right? Yeah but there are always haters in every thing!

Like you have people complaining about spam, people trying to combat spam, then once they make some steps forward other people bitch about the methods used and how hard they can be some times (Captcha's).. But yeah, there is always at least 2 sides, it's called balance, and it's needed to make the world go around, after all every thing can't be perfect now can it? lol /rant

Hmm, I've always had the idea of my start up programs starting by a key held down or toggled on.. And here we go

So I can boot up my box, login to xp, and have caps/num/etc on or off, to get programs to start up? Like normal startup procedures?

Hi my name is mitzevo and I am a software addict, some times I think I spend more time playing around with software than actually using it for its purpose, for instance, I try test at least 3 apps from one category (ftp programs, text editors, etc.), it really is time consuming, but I'm just trying to find the best for myself and now I have no GBs!.. Can any one help me? I need extra GB's to store more softwares.. cmon guys, just email me how many GB's you want to help me out with and I will be happy to accept any thing! But I also store alot of (questionable?) things as well.. so yeah.. help me out with extra GB's!

 

I tried it.. It's not bad (and its code production is pretty clean.. should be in this age..) and pretty stream lined..apart from no decent templates, not even a mention of PHP any where.. i.e., not even a basic .php template.. How pathetic.. even for this free version.. Looks like m$ wants you to use their stuff (as usual).. but very very good for.. free

There's thousands of good forums out there.. and of course you are asking opinions of others.. prepare to get any thing and every thing.. You can only be apart of so many and make use of it... with that said.. DC is the best (of course any body who says best is their own opinion..) for Software discussions (like the best of the best software .. and for other categories you are going to get a lot of different bests.. you know why? because the best is what you make of it!

Hi my names mitzevo and I'm a DC junkie I've tried to do away with the habit but I can't help my self.. I guess you could call me DC'aholic.. Or in plain terms software junkie, but I prefer DC junkie, I don't know why, other people say I scare them at times.. I just need to relax, they say.

 

edit:

And welcome Denny! I'm glad you find DC worth the time for writing such a good intro

P.S., why does God never call me? . perhaps my phone is turned off.. hehe j/k Welcome welcome, DC is the best!

There are a lot of people that donated to the site that have never made a single post. They have contributed and deserve to win just as much as anyone else.

Well then you add in a check to see if user has donated..

edit: so that's in effect then.

the problem with basing things on posts is that people might start posting just to reach that threshold

Yeah, it's quite obvious when people are trying to get their post count up (*cough*)..

So I guess my idea is null and void now.. lol.. I forgot about the people who donated / contributed offsite / etc and didn't make any posts here at the forum.
But if they can't even make one post and want to enter the comps.. shame on them.

ps1.
I'm happy to have more suggestions on how the prize optimizer could be tweaked -- so send me your suggestions!

I think people with less than 25 posts shouldn't be able to enter. So they don't imbalance all the others who actually contribute and etc.

ps2.
Due to Jibz' excellent detective work, users Darwin, superboyac, and dcm have been placed on the permanent BAN list and shall never win another prize    Please direct all hate mail to jibz and send him a nice big poisonous attack creature.  (just joking!)

Lolol. I actually asked today in IRC if any body had won more than 2 or 3 prizes.. And now Jibz has done some good snooping and presented the facts

The most important thing about this new development is that I need mitzevo to tell me the name of the visual style he is using in that screenshot, since it looks cool, and that would prove useful in the long term for a great number of people.

It's a Windows theme / Visual style from DeviantArt, called Clearlooks 0.6 Black by ~hsn , there are a few (or many) other variations with different colors, etc.

It's based of GNOME - nice and clean, oh and rounded corners is a nice change

Btw, Nighted was the one who made me discover it  Cheers Nighted.


and..

I just have to say again I am happy about being able to change icons in x² Looks sooooo much better. Now I am not jealous of XYplorer

Congrats winners! .. and congrats to myself for my 300th post.. wooo. Now I'll just go cry about not winning any thing for ages 

edit: joking of course.. /me wipes tears away .. 

I usually use the editor default [colors], and If I'm lucky enough to config colors I ... hey wait I don't.

When I was trying out E I noticed the default (iirc) color scheme was black bg and different colors (or perhaps I changed to this one..). At first it was unusual, but then after trying it for a while I realized it makes editing files so much easier (very much like to do with the syntax hi-lighting), for example you go to edit a .ini file in E, it's so easy to tell sections and variables from stuff you don't need to concern your self with.. So I think colors definitely help if set up correctly

So.. some people use dark and light, or light on dark. I myself haven't joined any side yet
