- of course you all answered the question in mind, but I really don't care, because masu was right when saying "I couldn't found any alternatives" - meaning there are no alternatives to find because Babylon is The Best. I believe Ultralingua to be fine, but of course it can never be "far superior" to the best, can it - even if it should happen that it actually is better than The Best... Sorry, for being in such a mood for war! I have just spend FOUR hours copying and moving, what should have been done in less than half an hour. I really need a better PC. And this frustation I had to take out on you. Please, forgive me! :- Its late at night around here, so Good Night - and may peace be with you...

i'm curious as to what is painted on their fronts I hope: nothing! Did you notice that The Wall-girl looks more attractive than the others? At least she does to me. I imagine this is because I can see the details of her body, which I can't with the others. The details are apparently what gives the extra touch. So hopefully nothing is painted on the bright side, ehh, front side of the girls. My faves are DSOTM and TW, and only a handfull of tracks from various other albums. Yes, "albums"! - the CD is such a new invention...

Yes, I noticed, but I already had it... Carol, do you ever go to the second-hand bookshop; the antiquarian bookshop to sell your old books, or to buy some old / used books? Maybe you do; I do. Did you ever stop and think that this book should bring more royalties to the author? I didn't. I look at these poor quality videos in the same way: They are to be compared with old, used books, and should be FREE - because of the poor quality.

I fooled around at Stage6 and came across this homemade video about six Pink Floyd covers. The video is called Pink Floyd - Painted Ladies. Wow! I didn't really care for the music he had chosen; I would choose differently. Pink Floyd had made a lot of music that I like, but also some that I don't. But the way this guy has made the video appear, is nothing less but awesome! You really must watch it! The teaser itself will make you want to!: But when the video is starting you might think that something is wrong, because the screen is all black for a long time. But this is intended. Oh, yes, it is intended. This guy has class, and you will have to be patient and wait for the goodies. The video is 9.20 minutes and 76 MB divx. You can have cheap flash version at uTube or buy the $6 poster at teesmeonline, or see the image at the Turk's place as an illustration to Martha's Song! I wanted to save this picture to disk, but couldn't. The screen capture would deliver an all black image. Hmmm. I have so many programs but none that could handle this problem. So off I went to the Internet to look for yet another program to install. It really took some time, because the first couple of programs could not deliver what they promised, but finally I found a little something that would extract the images in an okay quality from the video. It is the Video Decompiler from the terrible site Software Club (to disable their sound: scroll all down and look to the left), but can also be downloaded from programurl - and is FREE and easy to use: [attachthumb=2] [attachthumb=3] It took a couple of hours to extract the images because I didn't check the settings properly before starting and so extracted every tenth image (1,600)! Certainly not a methode I will use again. Then I had to merge three of these pictures into one, and remembered the $10 Zoner Panorama Maker I had for free at GAOTD. And it did the job perfectly: 3 became 1 (use zoom 300) and now you can see the beautiful result (but be warned: it is 2099 x 782 pixels and 367 KB):  [attachthumb=4] http://stage6.divx.com/Pi...nk-Floyd---Painted-Ladies

Maybe so, f0dder, but I lost interest in Returnil when I found out that you cannot save anything to real disk, when Returnil is ON, but will have to bookmark*, reboot, and come back for a new download and install/save - with Returnil OFF. This is goodbye Returnil to me. The other apps in this category will AFAIK all offer ON/OFF without rebooting.
[Edit: * = you cannot even keep a bookmark!

I might spend €5 now, because they have two apps I would like to have, but for now the supply is way too limited to think about any €25 membership - though such members are being promised the choice between thousands of programs: There is a limited amount of licenses initially available to basic members, while gold members have access to 1000s of licenses and should not have problems making their purchase. - "thousands", they say, but they only name ten ( 10) programs! So where are the remaining? I have searched their site, and they don't have more than these ten programs, I dare to say. I understand that they are brand new on the market (Launch Day 2007-06-23) and cannot yet have a large catalogue - but only ten? I say the gold will have to wait... Clever detail that you have to buy 5 credit points but can only spend 2x2 = 4 ... [ Edit: You will have to look deep into the rules to figure out why you can buy the basic membership for €5 and get 5 credit points, but will have to pay €25 to get merely 15 credit points if you want the gold...]

Thanks a lot for pointing to RkUnhook (RkU), SKA This Russian program (exe name: 7lSQusUji) is by far the most advanced in this group! The first scanning result is literally ready in a second (!), but the final Report took more than a hour to produce. I would like to show a screenshot of the scrolled report window, but the RkU window is not a standard GUI object that my FastStone Capture can recognize, so I will insert a fraction of the 546 KB Report text file (I have deleted 99%). Here is first a screenshot: [attachthumb=1] Find the program at this all Russian forum: http://rkunhooker1.narod....er_v3/RkU3.30.150.400.rar [ Edit: or at http://rkunhooker1.narod.ru/index.html in English] - the program is in English. I think RkU by far is the best of these four apps I have named, but the full report may be useless as it will list every DLL and EXE file on your computer, because they are handling hooks... --- SKA; what do you hold against version 3.7 ??
