General Software Discussion / Re: WINRAR free this sunday 30th July 2006
« on: July 29, 2006, 06:28 PM »
I have been using 7-Zip which has always been free and Open Source.   And I was under the impression it has greater compression ratio than WinRAR, especially with multiple files .  Can someone set me straight?

The main features of 7-Zip:

    * High compression ratio in new 7z format with LZMA compression
    * 7-Zip is free software distributed under the GNU LGPL
    * Supported formats:
          o Packing / unpacking: 7z, ZIP, GZIP, BZIP2 and TAR
          o Unpacking only: RAR, CAB, ISO, ARJ, LZH, CHM, Z, CPIO, RPM, DEB and NSIS
    * For ZIP and GZIP formats 7-Zip provides compression ratio that is 2-10 % better than ratio provided by PKZip and WinZip
    * Self-extracting capability for 7z format
    * Integration with Windows Shell
    * Powerful File Manager
    * Powerful command line version
    * Plugin for FAR Manager
    * Localizations for 63 languages

Living Room / Re: What's the best registry cleaner? Ask Leo says: none

I have used Fix It Utilities registry fixer for several years on different laptops and never had any problems, provided that you remove only those recommended by default (and I never tried to delete any others). :up:

I have recently been using the trial version of jv16 Power Tools.  When it finishes scanning, I have been choosing "Select all" and then "Fix".  I find that jv16 PT comes up with a much longer list of items to delete.  SO far have not had any problems. :up:

I have always run them in the manual mode.

The bigger and more important question that I cannot answer is how much better or worse things would be if I had not flushed them to begin with. :-\

General Software Discussion / Any problems with the free X1 Enterprise Client?
« on: July 19, 2006, 11:50 AM »
It's been several weeks since the free X1 Enterprise Client was released.  Before I convert my paid (now obselete :huh:) version of the X1 Desktop to the free client, I am interested to know if anyone has had any problems.....other than the Yahoo toolbar issue that was previously discussed. :-\

Pretty sweet, Mouser.  You assimilated db90h in about 19 minutes.  Would you mind telling which graphics programs were involved? :tellme:
