General Software Discussion / Re: Best password manager?
« Last post by justice on January 30, 2008, 09:37 AM »
I mean usually I think to remember a password just after i entered it as mentally I remember the details when I see the website (visually). So I've just logged in and then want to save the passwords to the manager. I'm not going to sit down and enter 20 passwords then go to the sites and use them. So in any other program than Roboform (as only it detects that you just logged into something) I do extra work for no benefit. Maybe that's just me? I'd like to see other managers to make it easy or easier.

Benefit of Keepass's autotype seems to be it's application independent :)

Thanks for that Perry I'm always very excited about working with ideas and tools that facilitating creating things quickly and your review has inspired me to try it out. Things like outliners, jotters and sketching software can be improved so much and stop the machine from getting in the way.

Are these password managers browser specific because of the "autologin" and "autosave" features or could a general pwm be made that works for all apps? Just wondering what the underlying reason is.

Hey when you plan to pursue a firefox version I'm sure you'll be well supported by this forum  :Thmbsup: I'm a fan of many altools as they tend to keep things elegant but powerful. That's always very tough.

AlToolbar looks like the perfect alternative to Roboform, if it was only working with firefox too (based on the featurelist). Having it automatically offer to save passwords and fill them in is what makes roboform such a joy to use. What I disliked about Keepass and all other password managers is that you login to a website and then have to type in the login again in the password manager to save it. Also the hassle of having to open the password manager, find the password and then copy/paste it or drag/drop it in the form is really tiresome. Roboform does all that for you and it looks like Altoolbar will too. Actually it looks like AlPass does all this too. :)

Yep if you use mail that comes with your webhost you should ask around, for example my webhost offers spamassassin and some other anti spam features, which I use to filter out the most obvious spam on some accounts.

k9 was my choice before i moved to gmail. Bayesian filtering, low on resources, intercepts mail before you download it and learns from your classification. But its a different way of working from mailwasher.

General Software Discussion / Re: Current IE8 build renders the ACID2 Test correctly!
« Last post by justice on January 25, 2008, 08:41 AM »
I seem to change my mind on this every now and then, and am still quite confused.. but:

Seems to me the switch will result in better fitting websites, but not by using more standards. But I noticed this at the whole Eolas patent debacle: the IE team doesn't take enough responsibility regarding standards. Even though the code was fine they wanted developers to implement a javascript workaround for their own workaround solution in all their pages with embedded content. They didn't want to (or couldn't) pay Eolas so people now have to click to start embedded media. Even though it's a browser issue.

And the same happens in this case: if the browser vendor took its responsibility and improved its implementation, it wouldn't be the webdeveloper's responsibility if their sites written to standards (and valid) don't display properly. So the whole "the users have to be protected from broken pages" card is a smoke screen in my opinion.

Just be frank then: corporate partners costcutting is more important to Microsoft than the freedom of the web.

If you enter the package number in google it will recognise at least UPS and FEDEX I believe and provide tracking information faster than going to their website.

Interesting take on the matter- will we be stuck with IE7 even when IE10 is out?

Immortal Internet Explorer 7
Internet Explorer 7 will be a permanent fixture on the web. [...]

When a user upgrades from IE7 to IE8, they will be upgrading from IE7 to IE7. When a user upgrades from IE8 to IE9, they will be upgrading from IE7 to IE7. Notice the trend. Whatever happens in Microsoft's browser life-cycle, Internet Explorer 7 will still be the default browser on a Microsoft Operating System.
[...]
Effectively, with this meta tag proposal, Microsoft have either absolutely guaranteed that they will remain the dominant browser on the web, or it has sown the seeds for its ultimate destruction. If it's dominant IE7 will be the instrument to hold back all standards compliant progress, just like IE6 before it.

Either way, web standards compliant web developers are no better off with this proposal. Which leaves us absolutely no reason to accept the proposal.

The only way I see to move web standards forward is to reject this meta tag proposal (and any proposal that compromises browser agnostic authoring), and then set a deadline for browsers to fully support web standards. On the passing of that deadline, no compensation should be made for browsers. They live and die based on their support of web standards.

 :huh: you've always been able to tag your bookmarks? When bookmarking, use the description and add your tags in, then search for them like normal. I just tagged two bookmarks as test1 and they show up instantly. Opera 9.25. Maybe I'm missing something.

Find And Run Robot / BUG: Can't launch results that end in space
« Last post by justice on January 24, 2008, 06:16 AM »
I'm sure this came up before, but FARR is unable to launch Windows Live Messenger. It runs the shortcut in my start menu, but when I run it with farr (it does come up in the results), nothing happens. Whether I have "always launch shortcuts directly instead of resolving links" selected (current) or not does not have any effect. Ah I see by default WLM shortcut has a space as the last character: "Windows Live Messenger ". When I remove that, FARR launches it.

Find+Run Robot v2.00.145
latest windows live messenger (filehippo.com)

I'm sure it did come up, but it's not in the official bugslist, and windows live messenger is quite a popular program.

That's the way the specs work the invalid markup is included in the test because the browser should ignore it. Error handling is very important. However, looking for clarification on the issue, I couldn't find any discussion on this by 'well known' css / web standards people.

Looking at the Acid2 Guide, quotes such as:
   Should have no effect since the object is inline (’height’/'width’ don’t apply to inlines).
seems to indicate that problems in handling these statements would expose rendering problems that affects the valid css. That would be essential to test against. Invalid CSS in this context does not mean custom elements but using them in the wrong context which can happen easily if you have a website of a couple hundred pages served by one css file.

I think he gets a lot of e-mail regarding queries about functionality that already exists, therefore he's taken steps to make functionaltiy more accessible. Which hopefully will be a good thing as I think I don't use 80% of the features because I'm not sure if I need it or how it impacts.

It's hard to see how it works out and whether or not this is a good solution or not to me personally. But ever since the development restarted on Internet Explorer the team and Microsoft in general have been supporting standards (at least minimally), so to me version targeting shows that they still don't think the web can be standard based. Or big corporate partners can't afford the cost of converting to standard. Still though I've not made up my mind on it from a practical perspective.

General Software Discussion / Money saving budgeting options
« Last post by justice on January 24, 2008, 03:32 AM »
Money-Print-C10055084.jpgAm looking to save some money and first aim is to get a view on my spending via a budget. Now I know some websites / excel sheets / software exists but what are your experiences with them?

An idea I had is to compare my relative spending with people with a similar income / geography and see where I relatively overspent: for example if my heating bill is twice as high similar people like myself - clearly there's something wrong and I should think of home insulation. Not sure if this exists though.

Related threads I found:

Also good ideas on how to save money are appreciated ;)
