Titan Backup 2.1 is available from Giveaway of the Day.I got it last time on GAOTD. And downloaded this upgrade from the Neobyte website and installed it without any need to revisit GAOTD. Perfectly respectable backup solution it has seemed to me, though I do have a few different types.-lanux128 (July 22, 2008, 10:19 AM)

Is it really so unusual to want to buy something (a gift, perhaps) and have it shipped directly to another address?-mrainey (July 17, 2008, 07:10 AM)
This is EXACTLY why I will never use NewEgg again! While the service was great, the prices outstanding, and the selection unbeatable - I just can't accept that their method of "protecting my credit card" is the best (or even desireable) way.-steeladept (July 17, 2008, 12:12 AM)
I'm going to be rewriting Circle Dock from scratch with a better program design-VideoInPicture (July 14, 2008, 01:21 AM)
, slightly impatient for developments 
). Very, very happy to hear that you will continue developing it 
.Let me know if this new version helps out.-VideoInPicture (July 14, 2008, 01:10 AM)
Eric I hope you won't take this the wrong way -- but I really cannot wait until you decide to sink your teeth into a project that has a little more practical use and is little less of a proof-of-concept thing.-mouser (July 13, 2008, 05:27 AM)
I have reports from some users that the program crashes when they try to add a icon/link to the dock and no useful error message pops up.Yep, I've got this.-VideoInPicture (July 12, 2008, 04:18 PM)
I don't really understand why so many people have so much messThey have a good memory, so don't need to spend extra time organising things or putting them away or clicking through a hierarchy.-fenixproductions (July 12, 2008, 09:47 AM)
Get it from http://www.novapdf.c...istration.php?src=15That's for the registration - which does get the key. But the prog download from VNU does not work - and the key does not work with other versions of Lite.-Curt (July 05, 2008, 07:12 AM)
i haven't checked but the download may still work as vunet normally won't remove the offered downloads immediately.Immediately???-lanux128 (July 04, 2008, 09:27 PM)
- it's November 2006 Thanks for the PM. No need for apologies; different points of view being argued is good.
Also good to see that a simple(?) Linux question quickly led to a number of topics. Original question important and pertinent to many of us, so it is worth trying to stay on topic, but maybe worth starting other threads.-Edvard link=topic=13917.msg119531#msg119531 date=1215099719Dormouse, apologies.

saying it's not grown-up or telling me that a few shiny buttons and menus can and should replace the Linux command line is like telling a seasoned NASCAR gearhead that he could improve his pit time if he installed an automatic transmission...-Edvard (July 02, 2008, 07:56 PM)
from LinuxCommand.organd this is symptomatic of an attitude that used to put a lot of people off Linux (and still does). As if only drivers with cars maintained by NASCAR mechanics using their currently preferred technologies are good enough to be allowed on the main roads. I'll not continue this discussion in this thread to avoid going further OTT. Happy to continue in another thread if necessary.Graphical user interfaces (GUIs) are helpful for many tasks, but they are not good for all tasks. I have long felt that most computers today do not use electricity. They instead seem to be powered by the "pumping" motion of the mouse! Computers were supposed to free us from manual labor, but how many times have you performed some task you felt sure the computer should be able to do? You ended up doing the work by tediously working the mouse. Pointing and clicking, pointing and clicking.
I once heard an author remark that when you are a child you use a computer by looking at the pictures. When you grow up, you learn to read and write. Welcome to Computer Literacy 101. Now let's get to work.-Edvard (July 02, 2008, 07:56 PM)
The closest thing that comes to it would be.. Find and Run RobotAbsolutely(even though it isn't that much similar.. lol
)

. And one of the reasons I don't use FARR.
i wouldn't say it's a bad thing to use the command line.I don't think it is a bad thing to use it, and it will always suit some people best. And there's a number of things you can do much more efficiently with a command line - as long as you have memorised the commands.-jgpaiva (July 02, 2008, 01:18 PM)
Please, if you do one thing to flatten your learning curve in Linux, learn to use the command-line tools. The gui tools that exist are easier for new users, but you're missing out on so much power...

Did you check the latest filtering, that was added with version 2? I can't think of what more could be added (except perhaps as above with the extra info, maybe it might take more steps than TDL, not sure).-tamasd (July 01, 2008, 05:37 PM)
I also tested TDL few times, it's very good, but I couldn't stand it GUI-wise.I do understand that, and felt similarly. But it is so configurable. And, in use, being able to have everything on a single screen is just so much more efficient than alternative approaches. Though that only makes a difference if you are using a lot of the features for each task.
