Also, how about beyond compare for this task (sync'ing)? It is definitely cheaper, and it works well.
Thanks for the reminder! I'll be using this, Beyond Compare is such a cool program already, less than the other backup programs, and I absolutely 100% trust it's opinion of what is "different".

General Software Discussion / Re: Minesweeper cheats!
« on: February 05, 2007, 02:37 AM »
Heh, sweet. I like a good game of minesweeper every now and then, but it drives me crazy when I have to randomly click a square because there's no way to tell if there's a mine there or not... Thanks!

Wow, that's a very cool promotion!

Thanks for the disclamer too... 'precieate it!

Welp, I just went through all the files I was able to recover... no dice...

Thanks for the help y'all...

I tried the Ctrl + Shift + E thing, it solves the problem, but makes TB a lot less useful. The problem isn't selecting e-mail (Ctrl+A will select all the e-mails, but hitting delete will not work. Message > Delete from the toolbar also stays greyed out. Only after actually *clicking* an e-mail will you be able to delete anything. I'm not terribly paranoid about viruses, but I'm not a fan of spam. One way to avoid spam is to never download the images sent in spam, as they're supposidly tracked (if the image "149874345232.jpg" is downloaded then "[email protected]" is a valid e-mail).

I chose to encrypt my e-mail during the install, so I don't think searching my HDD is going to help... :( I really should try to do a file recovery, I shouldn't have to though... It's going to be really fun sorting through folders with names like "59BE1E79.0FD".

To me, the problem is two-fold. 1. It didn't alert me when my hard drive was too full (or I somehow missed it the error, which I'm willing to admit is possible). and 2. The "fix" caused more/worse problems. At the very least I had the titles of the messages, even if I couldn't open them I'd have some idea of what was there. Now I have a blank space looking back at me. It's just like... There, we've "fixed" your e-mail... by deleting it all! See, no errors; you're welcome. Maybe in 5 more months we'll release an update to fix this bug...

Best E-mail Client / I wish I could punch the idiots that made TheBat!
« on: September 13, 2006, 07:40 AM »
Sorry to start a topic like this after not coming here for so long, but I just lost ~350 messages because aparrently TheBat! doesn't take into account the possibility that maybe, possibly, sometime ever someone's hard drive/partition will ever fill up!!!

Here's what happened, I noticed my D drive was full. I couldn't figure out why though... I hadn't received any messages saying that something couldn't be saved or anything like that... All the pictures I had saved recently seemed to work, I couldn't figure it out...

So later tonight I checked my mail. TheCrap! downloaded my new messages, but when I clicked the Inbox it said some BS about the mailbox being broken and would I like to repair it... knowing that "repairing" stuff usually means "making it worse" so I said "No". But just as a test, I clicked off the inbox then back on the inbox, and there's the message again: "would I like to fix such and such?". Realizing that from now on, I'd get that STUPID message every time I clicked the inbox; I might as well let it do whatever it is so convinced it needs to do.

Well the "repair" process took all of 2 seconds. I saw on the bottom right that ~350 messages had been repaired. I thought "great! it only took 2 seconds, it couldn't have done something completely moronic in that amount of time"... but I was wrong. My inbox is now empty. The trash can is empty. There are no new folders that I can see. They're just gone. THANKS A F@#KING LOT RITLABS!


I've been regretting buying this stupid program from the beginning... it's my own fault though; I used the full trial period without noticing all the idiot-syncricities ritlabs programmem into this POS.

For instance, when you download your mail you MUST click on at least one in order to delete anything. So, if you get 10 messages, and they all have viruses, you would HAVE to click on (AKA open) at least one virus laiden message in order to delete the rest.

Here's another, it treats the "Trash" folder the same as every other folder, including confirming every time you choose to empty it. What's wrong with this? Well, it makes it rutine to click the "OK" button the instant the confirmation dialog pops up. I'm glad I never accidently selected to empty my sent mail folder instead of the trash, because I'm sure I would have clicked the confirmation instantly just like I have hundreds of times EVERY TIME I wanted to empty my trash...

Anyway, screw TheBat! ! Screw RITLABS!

Oh yeah, I don't know what they're doing over there, but I only know of one (1) update to TheBat since I bought it about a year and a half ago...

Found Deals and Discounts / Re: Bryce 5 Free Till Sept. 6th
« on: August 31, 2006, 09:25 AM »
I've got the "free" version, but can't seem to find the non-download.com version...
Go to the "My Account" link at the top of the page and log on using the email address you used to activate the download.com version.

Then you'll have a set of links to the downloads and key(s) you have in your account.

Note that the downloads are only active for 5 or 6 days, so if it's been longer than that you'll probably have to register another instance of the download.com version, maybe using a different email address.

If you're reading this after Sept 6, then I suppose you're out of luck...  Not that it matters (unless they stop allowing activations and you want to re-install on a different machine).

Oh cool! Yeah I got it, thanks!
The download is 90mb (compared to ~47mb for the 2 files downloaded from download.com) so hopefully it's more program.

Actually it is worth the $19.95 to buy the upgrade to the full version 5.5 !
I'll definately look into that! I used 5 a tiny bit and the interface was too much (or little?) for me. Do you know 5.5 have NURBS support by chance Carol?

This is awesome! I used bryce 5 many years ago and made a couple cool animations... I've got the "free" version, but can't seem to find the non-download.com version...

BTW, long time gone, I gotta get back into this forum!

I haven't read the article yet, but I was thinking about starting a site like that....

Welp, I signed up, and one thing that's pretty darn cool is they let you make promo codes. So I went ahead and created a code that gives you the maximum discount available for every service possible. Most of them are $97 off.

The code is " PandaGets0 "

The last character is the number zero by the way.

It's actually very easy to use the code, just log on to www.dreamhost.com and put in the code, PandaGets0, in the promo code field.

What's in it for me? I get $5 for each person you sign up. In fact, I would get more from a "sub-referral" than from a direct referral.

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Run bat files transparently
« on: April 28, 2006, 06:55 PM »
Hi,

In Fbsl you just have to do that :
StrPipe( "CMD.exe /K test.bat", SW_HIDE )

Into the bat file you can do such code :
@echo off
Echo Hello World! > log.txt

Your bat will be executed silently and without any console output thanks to thr SW_HIDE parameter :)

The StrPipe has more extends in Fbsl, you can redirect the piped process to any valuable Handle, that is to say it's very handy to grab a result from something that writes into stdout :)

Enjoy ;)
I think this is definately the way to go if all you want is a log of what was done. You don't need to program anything, you don't need to use another program, all you have to do is add something like "> log.txt" to the end of the commands in your batch file.

From the little I've used this, it pretty much puts whatever would be "written" in the DOS window into a file instead.

Here's some more info, directly from Microsoft.

How about annonymous donations?

Say I wanna give someone a reward, but for some weird reason I don't want them to know it was from me.

Is the gradient effect in hamradio9b any better than in hamradio9?

Website

Forum
https://www.donation.../fullforumindex.html

Yup definately better.
I dont' think the problem is going to be easy to fix, at least not on your end hamradio. I've found that if you want a gradient to be able to strech out to an indefinate length you have to make an image that's maybe 5 pixels wide and make it repeat (instead of streching a 1 pixel wide image). Of course, mouser (or maybe someone else) would have to change the actual html of the page to make it look right.

P.S. The small image looks perfect, I can only see the prob on the large image.

339
Am I too late to get that referrel?  If you go to http://theprawn.com and click the dreamhost button at the bottom, I get $$ :)
Nope not at all... sorta...
I signed up with your referral link, but near the "promotion code" field it said something like "you can either use a promo code OR you can let us know who referred you." I hope you get at least $5, but I opted to use the promo code PK97OFF.

I like those. One thing I think you may want to work on is the edges of the letters. They are pretty pixely (they look like they could use some antialiasing).
Also, as I'm sure you're working on, the streched portion looks pertty bad, the gradient looses it's effect.

I'd say that depends on the price of the photographer. If he's more expensive than the graphics artist, the graphics artist is a better option!  :tellme:
That's true, but so often it looks worse (the above picture is case and point). Sure, the lighting may not look as good on the girl, but I think the fact that her left foot would have to be burried in the sidewalk looks worse...

342
OK, I'm signing up! Do any of you have a referral link?

343
I like the idea, but is it just me, or is that a fake picture of this product?

I've seen this before, instead of putting the computer monitor on an actual table and taking a picture, businesses would prefer to hire someone to photoshop it into another photo. Weird.

« on: April 23, 2006, 07:45 AM »
Check the jumpers on hard drive(If any)...
So I tried everything ... switching from cable select to master/slave configuration...

It might be worthwhile to buy an external HDD adapter. That way you could plug the drive in after windows boots. As long as windows recognizes something is plugged in you should be able to do data recovery on it.

348
Something else in the same category are completely open e-mail servers. Like Dodgeit and PookMail.

When you don't want to use one of your own email addresses you just us anything@dodgeit.com or anything@pookmail.com. You don't have to register or anything. Then you just go to the website and enter the address you used, there are no passwords involved.

Actually I am just getting started (after too long) using Yahoo's service which provides 500 disposable emails per account.

For those who don't know it works like this ...

You have you main account id which provides you emails address.

Withing the options section there is "Address Guard" in which you register a different id (say eg. nospam .... but that's bound to be gone!). Then you can set up  up to 500 email addresses in the format [email protected] where xxx is a chosen address for the service you are signing up for. For example if you were singing up to DC for newsletters you might choose [email protected].

All of these throwaway address you create are automatically delivered at your main address and can be filtered like ordinary mail if you want. You can even post using the dummy address.

Now you sign up with that address to DC only. If spam starts to arrive on that address you know where the address originated from and you can simply delete the dummy address. It doesn't affect any of your other subscriptions and because the email address doesn't contain any details of your main account name it can't be used to spam you mail inbox.

Works great - just wish I had started using it a while ago.
-Carol Haynes (April 19, 2006, 09:24 AM)
Wow! That is awesome!

Do you have to "sign up" for the dummy address, or can you just put nospam.anything@yahoo.com and mail will be delivered there?
To ask another way: Say I want to set up a DC account, can I just tell them my address is [email protected], or do I have to pre-register the ".donationcoder" portion of the address with yahoo?

Thou should not do that if thou want to restore the data :D
Yeah, I know that's the theory, but I've probably burned close to 1000 CDs in my life, and like I said, only had a problem with that one "brand" of discs.

Actually, come to think of it, they were OfficeMax brand.
Off Topic: The only quality product I've bought at OfficeMax is their "MaxBright" paper, it's awesome! Pretty much everything else has been disappointing one way or another.
