I do appreciate that you went through it all just because I posted it here. The feedback I got is really useful.-urlwolf (January 30, 2007, 06:35 PM)
edit:
i've thought of a way of doing what i requested by using directory opus. just create a 'collection' folder named 'notes' (or whatever) then just 'send to' this collection the txt files, regardless of their location.-nudone (January 30, 2007, 05:34 AM)
Should probably borrow a power rate meter thingy and check how much my own box uses.-f0dder (January 27, 2007, 08:00 PM)

Is there any other I'm missing? What do you use lately to read feeds?-urlwolf (January 25, 2007, 06:31 AM)
Hmm, I wonder if mouser should approach David and see if he wishes to work with DonationCoder.com to help promote the idea of donationware? What do you folks think?-tinjaw (January 25, 2007, 05:27 AM)
Pegasus Mail will become completely free, manuals and all. It will be possible to donate to support it, though - and indeed, the program will issue gentle reminders to do so. 30 days after you install it, it will pop up one small dialog pointing out that it survives on donations and offering to take you to a site where you can make a small donation. Naturally, you won't have to donate - it's just an option, in an attempt to make the process as simple and painless as possible for those people who want to support development.
The same dialog will have options to issue another reminder in one month, three months, six months, or a year. Many people have told me that they would like to make small donations regularly - the reminder is intended to assist them in doing so. Some people are probably going to start shrieking "nagware!" about now, but frankly, if you think that one reminder each year constitutes nagging, then nothing is going to satisfy you.
Donations will almost certainly be done via PayPal (which includes both PayPal accounts and credit card payments). You will be able to donate a minimum of US$10, or more if you wish. The payments will be completely secure and private (we will not retain any credit card information here at all). We will probably look at making PayPal's "recurring payment" options available as well.
Frankly, I am personally unsure how well donations will work. Don't take this the wrong way, but I believe that whilst many, many people have the very best intentions, only a few actually carry through on them - it's simply human nature, especially in a world as cluttered and busy as this one. Maybe I'll be proven wrong - I would like to hope so.
On January 3rd 2007, I announced that development of Pegasus Mail and Mercury would be ceasing because of funding problems. The result was an absolute avalanche of mail, phone calls, faxes and other communications wanting me to continue.
In response to the torrent of messages, though, I have now decided to restart development and distribution of both programs. To make this possible, it will be necessary to restructure the way I fund them in some way that will attract an adequate and sustained level of financial support. I and my test team are still working out the exact details of the changes we will make, but in a nutshell, it is likely that Pegasus Mail will become "donationware", while Mercury will become fully licensed based on numbers of mailboxes, with a certain base number of mailboxes provided free of charge. Public discussion (on the Pegasus Mail and Mercury mailing lists) will be solicited before any final decision is made.

So, is it worth $6/month to organize your family?-KenR (January 17, 2007, 06:25 AM)

With only 100 wallets and such an informal study i'd be reallly careful about interpretting those stats as saying anything meaningfull, ESPECIALLY about race. There are so many other factors youd want to look at like accounting for income, relation of gender and race between the person finding the wallet and the id of the person in the wallet, etc. There are probably a million ways to get very different results. For example, i wonder how much the results would have changed if the photo id of the person in the wallet was a pretty woman.. Do all the numbers suddenly flip? What if the photo id was of a young kid or an elderly black woman? But it is quite fascinating.-mouser (January 11, 2007, 08:17 PM)
Doesn't pay to be a young black male... the stereotype just clubbed you in the head!!You'll be on your honor to do most of them in order to qualify, but we aren't going to be crazy about it.-mouser (January 09, 2007, 08:54 PM)
Yeah but perry you havent filled out your biography field (see no red note icon under your avatar).-mouser (January 11, 2007, 03:45 AM)
Hoodwinked Gotta give it 5 out of 10... maybethe thing is, it's not the mouse - i've tried it with 2 mice..
anyone heard of this before?-mouser (January 07, 2007, 04:51 PM)
), but seeing you've tried two [different] mice, then... could it be the connection? Did you use the same [USB] port?
I don't mean to be a smart ass, but why not just get a faxing application that works?most probably the company that belkira works for, had signed a contract with a certain vendor who insist that only such and such programs may be used. so they're stuck with all this programs flaws & lack of updates.. my personal experience.-tinjaw (January 09, 2007, 07:48 PM)-lanux128 (January 09, 2007, 08:43 PM)
Yes, but not in a useful way.The only way you can see what is in a collection is to open it in DOpus, where it looks just like any other folder. Outside, it doesn't.

Directory Opus Supports Virtual folders under the name "File Collections".-springro (December 12, 2006, 09:20 AM)
) does that mean that its File Collections are outside of the filemanager (because it's become the Explorer)??
