Mircryption / Re: problems with download from SourceForge

« on: May 19, 2006, 10:20 PM »

* PhilKC mutters under his breath "Because sourceforge sucks"

I've encountered the same thing time and time again with sourceforge, the download gets to x%, then stops... I can only assume it's the SF servers kicking clients off as it doesn't happen anywhere else...

Anyway, after two tries, I managed to get the file, try from http://bluescreenofd...nSuite_Setup_151.exe

« on: April 09, 2006, 02:31 PM »

I'm not mouser... But:


A) Otherwise the binary submitted could do something nasty like... Delete random files... I don't think the source code is going to be published against your request...

However, authors can elect not to have the source code released to the public.

B) Mouser will be able to give you an answer to this...

C) As far as I know, mouser only speaks English, however, you could help out by translating it into German (Or any other language) and passing it on to mouser...

As I said, I'm not mouser, and my comments above are only assumptions that should be disregarded as soon as mouser replies

Finished Programs / BMP Converter...

« on: April 07, 2006, 04:52 PM »

Hey folks, just a small app with Explorer integration to convert from BMP to [JPG|PNG|GIF]...

http://bluescreenofdeath.co.uk/BMPC.exe (Requires the .NET 2 framework, you probably already have it, if not see Windows Update or http://www.microsoft...5&DisplayLang=en )

Double click to 'install', it will add the functions to the context menu of all BMP files (I'm looking to make it cascade for the next release...).
To remove, Just run:   BMPC remove

It works on batches of files, just select them all, Right Click-> To [JPG|PNG|GIF]...

Problems, bugs, requests comments... All welcome

Have fun,

PhilKC

Finished Programs / Re: IDEA: Delete double Lines (all but the first) in a Text-File

« on: March 06, 2006, 05:23 PM »

Pseudo code:

[Select]

StreamReader in = new StreamReader(inputFile);
String[] lines = in.ReadToEnd().Split("\r\n".ToCharArray());
in.Close();
ArrayList checker = new ArrayList();
for (int i=0;i<lines.Length;i++)
     if (!checker.Contains(lines[i]))
          checker.Add(lines[i]);
StreamWriter out = new StreamWriter(outputFile);
for (int i=0;i<checker.Count;i++)
     out.WriteLine(checker(i));
out.Close();

That was from memory, so, I have no idea if it would compile... (It's C# )

« on: March 04, 2006, 02:00 AM »

Can't you just use Google Video Player to download the (high quality) GVI? It saves it the video locally, and is of better quality that the FLVs. Also, since GVI is just DivX /w content protection, u can convert it to AVI if u want with VirtualDub.. or it may already be straight DivX in many cases, not sure on that.

-db90h (March 04, 2006, 01:54 AM)

Possibly, although the FLV is only downloaded as a fall back, and the AVI is the same quality as the GVI afaik...
I'd be more willing to use the Google video player if it supported more than just it's own formats...

Now you can ...

But, before a full GUI version is made, I need people to test this out, and report bugs/problems or features they would like to see...
It's in C#, .NET 2, which means you need: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5&DisplayLang=en

Then grab the binary from: Here!...

Usage:

[Select]

GGrabber <Google video DOCID> <Google video DOCID> <Google video DOCID>  etc...

The DOCID is the long value in the URL, like: http://video.google....2341416&q=fridge <-- The DOCID would be 8248766101102341416. Also note that some DOCIDs will have a minus before them, which should be included in the GGrabber line...

It will look for the AVI at first, but, if Google doesn't have an AVI format, it will fall back to FLV (Flash Video). It will try to save it as "Video name".Format, but if the Video Name contains things like : or / then it can't save them as that and will fall back to using the DOCID.

Remember this is more a PoC than a full program... Have fun!

« on: February 28, 2006, 04:18 PM »

In eclipse I just use

//TODO
//FIXME
//NOTE
and
//WTF

Which automatically adds a task with a priority. (TODO == normal, FIXME == high, NOTE == low and WTF == high)

For VS2005 I end up using a comment block at the top of the class/function in question.

General Software Discussion / Re: utorrent and azureus high cpu activity

« on: February 16, 2006, 09:16 PM »

Try BitComet. ( www.bitcomet.com )
It's written in c++ and runs very smooth

-Gothi[c] (February 16, 2006, 07:51 PM)

BitComet is more of a leecher tool, and is widely banned by trackers and other peers for various reasons (Not respecting the private flag, not uploading much data, etc)...

As for Java being crap, well, I quite like it, it's often taken for granted that fact that a program can run on almost any OS with absolutly no re-coding... Sure, it's not as light as C or C++ (Although, those complaining about Azureus using too much memory: http://bluescreenofd...o.uk/Temp/Memory.png ) but it serves it purpose...

I stick to the Windows defrag'er, it works...

If you only use your PC for web browsing, text editing etc, chances are you won't notice the effects, but, games, heavy file I/O apps, server applications etc will

Well...

I expect that a script kiddy has used the same DLL as you, but in a more malicious program, hence the anti-virus' picking up on it.

Public keylogging DLL's are often used this way, and are blacklisted for it.
