General Software Discussion / Re: Creating a document template..

I'm assuming you are doing this in Microsoft Word.
Here are the instructions on how to do it:

(1) In the places where you want to enter the text to be repeated, go insert a "Text Form Field". Where this button is depends on whether you are using Word 2003 or 2007.
(2) Select one of the Text Form Fields, go Insert -> Bookmark and give it a descriptive name.
(3) In the places where you want the text to be repeated, go Insert -> Cross Reference. In the "Reference Type" drop down box that shows up, select "Bookmarks". Select the bookmark you created in Step 2.

Instead of Mathematica or Matlab: GNU Octave
Instead of Photoshop: GIMP or Paint.Net

However, for office programs, I would still pay for Microsoft Office 2007 simply because I think the ribbon interface is vastly superior to what's on offer from the open source community.

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Testing tool that fills up memory
« on: October 03, 2008, 01:24 AM »
What you are thinking of are stressor tools and they exists to test a variety of system functions. One memory stressor I've found is from the MSDN magazine: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163613.aspx

It's called EatMem and is a command line tool written in C# with the source code available in that article. I've compiled the source code and attached it along with the source code in the attachment below. The program is hard coded to stress test the memory by randomly allocating and deallocation between 10%-70% of the memory. You can specify how long it runs for in the command line parameters.

The exe is in the attached file under the \bin\release folders. You need to start up the command line (CMD) in Windows and type in the path to the exe file. For example:
C:\Desktop\TestRun\bin\release\EatMem.exe -d1 will run the program for 1 minute.

Let me know if you need this wrapped up in a graphical interface.

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Sound from two USB headphones.
« on: October 03, 2008, 01:00 AM »
After looking through Google and thinking of how this could be done programmatically, I have come to the conclusion that it is not possible or not very easy to do due to this being a low level system function. With normal headphones, you can easily get jack splitters but there are no USB audio jack splitters. A possible solution that uses USB is totTry using wireless headphones that can broadcast to multiple headsets. Example: http://www.everythingusb.com/hauppauge-xfones-usb-dolby-headphones-14178.html

Theoretically, it should be possible to hook into the system, take over the audio output, and send it where you want to. But this is much easier said than done.

« on: October 03, 2008, 12:36 AM »
It's doable to track clicks per application but do you want click tracking for all the instances of a single application or just for one open instance. For example, I could program it so that the program just tracks the clicks in one open window of Firefox or I could program it so that it tracks the clicks in all open windows of Firefox. Tracking the clicks in a single window is simpler to program than to track the clicks in all the open windows of a given program.
