Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: GUI enhanced start up delayer

Sounds like Chameleon Start Up Manager is exactly what you're looking for:  http://www.chameleon-managers.com/windows-startup-manager/

I think the DC discount for it is still valid:  https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=10381.0

I'm a true blue fan of Startup Delayer also.  The single feature I'd like to see implemented: automatic calculation of item delay time and implementation.  I hate having to use calculator to multiply the number of items by the delay time spacing (usually 4 seconds), and entering it into the input box.  I'm pretty sure implementing this feature would be a cake walk for the developer(s).  It could easily be done within the input box code block, by adding a simple text box for the user defined delay time spacing, adding two variables, one for the item count (simple counting of enabled items) and one for the delay time spacing, then calculating and implementing each item's delay time.

Chameleon Start Up Manager does this and more.  Much more.  My preference, however, is for simplicity whenever possible.

Originally, my (x)friends used to call me Einstein at college.  And not in a complimentary way, either.  In fact, they did it to humiliate me, out of jealousy because I found the holy grail of physics: I solved the unification of the four forces problem.  I'm still startled by the elegance of my solution:

Fs = strong nuclear force 
Fe = electromagnetic force
Fw = weak nuclear force 
Fg = gravitational force 

Fs + Fe + Fw > Fg
 
Fg < Sa

Sa > Fs + Fe + Fw

Since Sa is greater than Fs + Fe + Fw, and Fg is lesser than Fs + Fe + Fw, then Fg < Fs + Fe + Fw + Sa or Sa > Fs + Fe + Fw + Fg.  Therefore, there is a force greater than the combined four forces.  If there is a force greater than the combined four forces, then they can't be unified unless Sa is a rational number.  Unfortunately, although Sa (sexual attraction) is real, it is also irrational.  And it is greater than the four forces combined. 

Upon termination of my scholarship, and a sound paddling from the dean in front of the student body, I decided to go back to my roots.  Shywolf is my North American Indian name, and the non de plumage under which I write.

General Software Discussion / Two desktop DNS server questions
« on: May 27, 2009, 03:13 PM »
1.  I downloaded the latest version of TreeWalk DNS, but when I tried to install it, my Norton (anti-virus) flagged a trojan.  Is it a false positive?

2.  Have any of you tried Simple DNS Plus?  I did a year ago (trial version) and was very pleased with it, but found the price prohibitive.

Further suggestions welcome.

Thanks.

Oh god! oh god! stay away from Wolfram Alpha..|.for god's sakes.,/  I...I can't explain everything right now.. it's all so...so surreal.  I...I decided to do some research on Wolfram using Methematica (Crystal) and andsomehow my WiFi picked up *their* satellite feed and...and...oh god...I gotta go I hear something outside my window...please pray fo.........................................*syslog: transmission and transmitter terminated 05:10 hrs.  Press Enter to reboot now.*


Hello, my name is Edna.  I love Wolfram Alpha.  I use it everyday for all my shopping needs.  Yes, I love Wolfram Alpha. (And you'll learn to love it too!)
