Why did Sony not respond then?

Living Room / Sony's Pirates
« Last post by Tuxman on April 18, 2015, 08:15 PM »
Does anyone of you remember Sony, the large company which came over to the dark side when they spread rootkits on their audio-CDs?
Sony has been in the press for a while, proposing to kick people who pirate their products off the internet entirely.

Now guess what.

Hacked Sony emails reveal that Sony had pirated books about hacking

 :D

Developer's Corner / Re: Best programming language to pick up for applications?
« Last post by Tuxman on April 01, 2015, 04:10 AM »
I suggest C# if you're looking for Windows-specific GUI applications, C++ for everything else.

(Python if you're brave. Not suitable for low-level development IMO, but nice design.)

There's xrecode II for that. That said, you can't convert lossy to lossless.

You can use P2P for it too. :)

General Software Discussion / Re: Avoid AdBlock Plus for Android!
« Last post by Tuxman on March 05, 2015, 01:26 AM »
I've been using AdGuard (also on Android) for a while which only consumed 103 megabytes of traffic during the past 30 days. I guess it's not a technical issue with ad blockers in general then.

Living Room / Re: Google, designing the font of the future
« Last post by Tuxman on February 07, 2015, 09:03 AM »
Fonts do matter, but it seems that there are different opinions about what's readable and what's not.
(Especially as a programmer, it's hard to find the perfect font. Consolas? Source Pro? ...)

I prefer Droid Sans to Roboto. Not sure why.

I'll wait for SoftMaker's 2015 version.  :)

Still using grepWin for text files. Everything else is sorted in folders where I can find it myself.  :P

Mini-Reviews by Members / Re: AdGuard: the better Ad Muncher?
« Last post by Tuxman on January 09, 2015, 09:37 AM »
Depends. AdGuard's "extras" like WOT and malware scans need to exchange a lot of data; so does the automatic regional filter list update.

Ah, Dr. Dobb's. While I - as a German - never actually got my hands on even one of those magazines, I surely know its reputation. A tragic loss for everyone.

Now this is a good starting point to finally replace WordPress by a static blog generator.

Windows Phone is ok, it just has a horrible lack of third-party apps.

Pirate Bye.  8)

I wonder how "trackers" (or Magnet portals or what they're called today) managed to stay around for so long. A better alternative not requiring any web server (Kad2) is available for years.

I'm confident NirSoft has such a tool.

« Last post by Tuxman on November 13, 2014, 04:30 AM »
Why not LISP?

I'm beginning to experiment with C#, just to see how it has evolved during the past few years. I wonder if it would make sense to reimplement "my" C++ applications.

Mailpile is not interesting until I can access it from The Bat!.

General Software Discussion / Re: Firefox Developer Edition
« Last post by Tuxman on November 11, 2014, 06:29 AM »
I wish they'd return to providing a fully modular Firefox where Web Developer stuff is entirely optional and provided as an add-on.

Annoying that Firefox tries to be the one-for-all browser these days.

Interestingly, xplorer² 3.0 is on its way, introducing Ribbons, the author said in his board. That's how it all diverges...

Sounds like FARR could do that.
