Someone pointed out to me that the UK version included taxes and Amazon US ads taxes at checkout - but even so the state with the highest sales tax is California at 8.25% so even at the most expensive in the US it costs $118, still $21 cheaper than the UK market (and over $100 cheaper than SA).-Carol Haynes (October 03, 2011, 02:52 AM)
That was the point of my previous post - the UK VAT is included BUT even taking that into account AND adding Californian Sales Tax (which is near double most states, and quite a few are zero rated) the UK version is still $21 more than the US version.
I don't see how shipping or import/export duty would have much bearing - the devices are probably all made in the far east and shipped directly to the sales area. Even if it was shipped to the UK from the US the sort of bulk Amazon ship and the margins that they can acheive with shippers would not amount to $21 per unit. Plus if they are exporting product they will be able to recoup the import duties.-Carol Haynes (October 03, 2011, 09:32 AM)
It seems as though Trout doesn't know how to respond to a change in the audio output device. If headphones are in when I start Trout and then I unplug the headphones, no songs will play. It shows an "error" or "notification" symbol/icon in the playlist and skips to the next song, at which point it does the same thing, etc.
Same thing happens if headphones are unplugged when Trout starts and then get plugged in.
Basically, I have to restart Trout to get it to play songs if I change the audio output from speakers to headphones.-Deozaan (October 04, 2011, 08:05 PM)
I'm getting a 404 from that link...Same here; now replaced it with a better working link to a different site.-Renegade (September 26, 2011, 03:23 AM)
(It would be nice if they had a complete feature set table... I suppose that's too much to ask what the product does... sigh...)-Renegade (September 25, 2011, 09:17 PM)
OneNote + Outlook + Jello Dashboard-IainB (August 28, 2011, 06:42 PM)
However, from what you say, I'm not sure that it is yet free of what I saw as the single greatest drawback to using it - namely, proprietary "lock-in" of your data to, and your dependence on, an offline service which you cannot control.-IainB (August 28, 2011, 06:42 PM)
Many people here abandoned evernote when it went 'cloud'.
Well, I don't know how long this feature has been there, but evernote can actually work offline.-urlwolf (August 28, 2011, 09:30 AM)
. My phones sync with their networks and are always correct . My W7 computer syncs daily with the windows internet timeserver and is 8 minutes fast (& this doesn't change even if I do a manual update or change the timeserver 
).
I simply tell my tailor whenever I go in, "I need three suits, and I want to be the best dressed person in the room. Show me what I should get." He never disappoints.-Renegade (July 03, 2011, 04:38 PM)
I am having this weird thing in Opera at the moment where the "delete" from shopping cart in amazon doesnt work. Needless to say it is annoyingI just change quantity to 0 & update. Always did that anyway, because I'm more often changing 2 to 1, having added a 2nd by mistake.-iphigenie (July 04, 2011, 05:39 AM)
ending by the end of tomorrow,
after that you can only get a normal license, not a lifetime.-Curt (June 28, 2011, 02:20 PM)
The Sony NEX-3 seems to have the best image quality/ high iso performance of any non-SLR camera, matching some SLRs which have much bigger sensors ... Also there's not much choice in lenses till next year. I guess that's why it's selling so cheaply..-tomos (July 01, 2011, 04:23 AM)
So basically everything he said doesn't apply to me. I'm not wasting my life if I don't have an SSD.Well, seems to me you will probably be wasting some of it if you don't have one-Deozaan (June 18, 2011, 06:00 AM)
; rather depends on how much of your life you have to spend to earn the money to buy & fit one & what else you would do with any time saved.
Those of you who have made the jump - did you tweak windows so that the often written folders (cache, virtual memory files, temp folders, user folder) are on another drive or did you just install as normal?I shifted these. As much to save the space as the write limitation.-iphigenie (June 14, 2011, 05:45 AM)
The main reason I didn't respond to suggest Surfulater is that the O.P. seemed to be looking for something that would work well with Opera. Surfulater used to be able to do so, thanks to some instructions in Surfulater's old forum. However, as far as I can tell, those instructions no longer work with Opera 11.11 (the current version). According to some messages in the Opera forum, the problem began with Opera 11.01. It's a pity, because Surfulater is a terrific (though admittedly rather pricey) program.I remember being interested in Surfulater before I bought UR (I seem to remember reports of UR capturing web pages more accurately) and have kept half an eye on it since. Never enough to buy it even on BdJ days. And I do already have quite a lot of ways of doing this, so there has to be a compelling reason to acquire another. Always open to compelling reasons though. Working with Opera might be one; although I cope OK with using other browsers when I'm acquiring info, it would be much more convenient to always do it in the one I am using.-cyberdiva (June 07, 2011, 07:47 AM)
For instance, after dropping an indeterminate number of clips, every drop becomes one (1) particular clip. Only thing I've found to cure that is to kill, then restart, URP. But it shouldn't be happening, and it's likely something else running is interfering. However, I can't afford the time to hunt that particular needle - it's a big haystackCompletely agree..

Even though they are selected in the View | Choose Columns (?) menu window. That is, both Web site and URL are selected, but neither shows in the item attributes window.-barney (June 07, 2011, 06:14 AM)
And for some reason, the UR folk apparently don't believe that, even with screen shots. I don't doubt that the product is good, but it simply does not perform as advertised on my system. My next step, when time allows, is to deinstall, reinstall, see if something went awry in the original install. That seems more and more likely, as new [non] events occur
