Hm, it can't cut video files yet.  :D

With the Windows 7 integration, modern ribbon GUI interface, quick file preview, etc. it just makes every other archiver on the market seem primitive by comparison.
Hmm, PA was fine while it was free. Anyway, ribbons for an archiver? So how many functions do you need in an archiver's toolbar?  :o

I actually think it will be a flop anyway. Commodore is a feeling, not just a name.

Hmm, I thought the Commodore company was closed years ago?

Non-pirates seldomly need .rar support.

.rar is not a common format unless the user is a software pirate on Windows.  :D

I think it was the Process Tamer, at least I can remember it being my first DC licensed app.

7Zip on Windows is also a rare case - unless you know it.
Most archivers for Windows support it, and there is almost no chance to have a Windows user without any WinRAR, 7zip or anything.

Still it is a rather rare case. ;)

Packing files for redistribution is also a question of the supported platforms. Neither PAQ nor 7zip are actually an option, .7z on Linux is still quite unusual.

For me, PSPad had some serious performance problems (just like Slickedit, which has fine config abilities indeed). I wonder why.

Recent 7-zip builds with LZMA2 compression introduce an improved multi-media compression algorithm.  :-*
(Although, obviously, PAQ is still the leading format. Too bad it is not widely supported yet.)

eMule uses servers (quite deprecated now) or the decentralized KAD network, no servers, trackers or seed files are required. 100% P2P. While the server thing was based on old eDonkey2000 protocol, KAD is something like Overnet was. But heavily modernized. (And it relies on spreading, not on fast uploading.)
Which technical part should I explain?

Living Room / Re: Speaking Of: Torrent Sites

Given that we only speak about legal contents, I'd still prefer eMule. BitTorrent is made for fast distribution, not for wide spreading, so a file usually dies within a few days; not a good thing if I as, let's say, a singer want to become more popular or something.
(It is also easier to handle; you don't have to create a new "seed file" or something first.)

Bill Joy himself claims he wrote vi for a very different era, one with only 300 bps of bandwidth.
Now how is a text editor related to bandwidth?
edit: nvm, just read it.

But in our multi-MBit days, it is still not a bad idea to use lightweight software. It hasn't become worse over all the years.  :D

General Software Discussion / Re: Virtual Desktops For Windows 7
« on: March 09, 2010, 10:06 AM »
Hmm, I'm sure the Actual Window Manager does (a new version is out AFAICS), but it is still payware. Not eye-candy, anyway.

Living Room / Re: Desktop Icons
« on: March 09, 2010, 10:05 AM »
Stardock's Fences will hide desktop icons (among other things) via a keyboard shortcut. There's a Pro and a Free edition, but the free edition will do what you are asking.
Fences also enables you to selectively exclude icons from being hidden.  :)

Whuile searching for a text editor replacement, Crimson Editor was the only thing I found that was free and had colum editing mode.
Vim is also free and can edit text in columns.  :D

Living Room / Re: Will you miss newspapers when they're gone?
« on: March 06, 2010, 01:06 PM »
I find it appropriate.  :P
(EDIT: Josh, ehm, WTF? What was "fanboyish" here? Fanboy of what?!)

My feed reader is currently watching dozens of weblogs, three German news magazines and some more. A good configuration for being informed, I think.

 :Thmbsup:

2096
Hmm, Vim?

« on: March 06, 2010, 12:53 PM »
Daily newspapers are, basically, pointless when you have internet, but weekly magazines are still important.  :)

2098
Hmm, still rather expensive.

Does anyone here have a Slashdot account and post a link to this discussion there? I actually don't want to register.  :)
