Ah, that old chestnut rears it's pretty head. Where have we heard that before?  Grin
At least I backed it up.

The more reliability you want, the higher is your urge to pay for software you use. You have the choice between free and quality. Free software coders can never have enough budget to investigate new ways to reach paid software's quality.

One neat exception is, maybe, FreeBSD as Apple puts a lot of effort and money into it.

But more seriously, DragonFly is BSD even though it's now technically a fork.
All current BSDs are forks.

We all know that BSD is the better server system.  Cool

So they'll have a bunch of cuddly forest bears in Star Wars VII?

Fine. He should do this here. I won't use Facebook for anything.
134  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Re: What's your preferred File Manager on: October 22, 2012, 08:15:06 AM
Germany has something similar to a "copyright" to some extent. Once you have created something, you will always be its creator.

But only the creator! This does not mean that others will have to ask you for your permission to do anything unless your chosen license enforces that. (Licenses that can't be read before the installation of a software are invalid here, so actually we didn't even have to obey the Microsoft EULA for a couple of years.) My work is never "copyrighted" in terms of © - everyone has the right to copy it. smiley

You are right, we're not talking about patents here. I just wanted to add this so you become jealous. Did it work?
135  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Re: What's your preferred File Manager on: October 22, 2012, 08:05:56 AM
Good old Germany, where software patents are illegal.  tongue
136  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Re: What's your preferred File Manager on: October 22, 2012, 07:51:19 AM
Actually it is not. The number of fucks I give concerning US-American laws equals a number smaller than or equal to 0.
And I am pretty sure that neither the GPL nor the BSD license (or, randomly, the WTFPL) are actual copyright licenses.
137  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Re: What's your preferred File Manager on: October 22, 2012, 07:47:42 AM
Not unless it is actually copyrighted.
138  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Re: What's your preferred File Manager on: October 22, 2012, 07:45:54 AM
Oh, I randomly find my software on obscure third-party websites too.

I was a troll before the WWW gained a wide audience.

You might want to report that to the devs. smiley
141  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Re: Imageshack uploader on: October 21, 2012, 09:12:04 AM
Fine. Hope it fulfills your needs. smiley
142  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Re: What's your preferred File Manager on: October 21, 2012, 09:11:41 AM
Eww. OK, thanks.  Grin
143  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Re: What's your preferred File Manager on: October 21, 2012, 08:57:52 AM
Neat. Any complete screenshot?
144  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Re: Imageshack uploader on: October 21, 2012, 06:13:27 AM
I use the ShareXmod (previously known as ZScreen Uploader) application for uploading image files. smiley

Haha, no way. Linux is evolving reversely. The older it becomes, the more useless it is.

Re oblivion's experiences with the support: All crashes reported during the beta testing period were fixed immediately. Even some which they could not reproduce. Seems like they improved the QA process.

I am really considering using my Bat portably too, but as his thread (thanks for the link) says I shouldn't...

I wonder why I missed the whole The Bat! thing here. Time to keep up.
147  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Re: Why I switched from Thunderbird to The Bat! on: October 18, 2012, 03:12:14 PM
Looks like a rip-off of early Thunderbirds with a better settings menu.  huh
148  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Re: Why I switched from Thunderbird to The Bat! on: October 18, 2012, 01:33:26 PM
I am happy with The Bat!, but I love testing stuff I don't need. I would give it a very short try if it was not so ugly. tongue
149  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Re: Why I switched from Thunderbird to The Bat! on: October 18, 2012, 01:10:47 PM
does The Bat! offer reliable email storage?
Use IMAP.  tongue

That aside, The Bat! (Professional/Voyager) features a scheduler for complete backups into a user-defined folder, so it is surely more reliable than many other e-mail clients.

Well, that an the ability to filter spam in email
The Bat! knows several plug-ins which do that, e.g. the AntiSpamSniper (which is available in a quite good free version). I use the Spamihilator with it. smiley
(For the accounts which don't have SpamAssassin yet.)

I have a love/hate relationship with it
Where's the hate?

What it sucks at is customer support, and they will absolutely, positively not care at all about any feature you might want added to the program.
They lost their bug tracker's database a while ago. Still they accept feature requests through it, you'll just have to find enough people who vote for it, then there's a good chance for it, I guess.

It's on version 5 right now...I assure you when it reaches version 8 not a damn thing will have been noticeably changed or improved.
Have you actually read the change log?
The latest beta builds have a quick reply window, for example. There are changes and improvements.
