40hz: I would have expected "NOT" to show up on that EULA picture - but perhaps it's filtered out because it's such a common word?-f0dder (August 01, 2008, 08:01 AM)

The current website, even with its "demos," just doesn't give much of an idea about what the software really does. The demos point at theory, but do not show actual examples of the program at work.
) and briefly compare the two versions as well. Hopefully nothing was lost in the translation to Windows. This is of course assuming the 5.25's are still readable.
would be just too cool...CrossLoop simplifies the process of securely working with friends located in different physical locations and across different network environments. CrossLoop enables you to see the screen and control the mouse and keyboard on a remote computer. It is as if you are working side by side at the same PC.
You can get up and running with CrossLoop in under 2 minutes. Simply download and install the application and it will automatically configure itself to your network environment.
PC Requirements

Darik's Boot and Nuke ("DBAN") is a self-contained boot disk that securely wipes the hard disks of most computers. DBAN will automatically and completely delete the contents of any hard disk that it can detect, which makes it an appropriate utility for bulk or emergency data destruction.
DBAN is a means of ensuring due diligence in computer recycling, a way of preventing identity theft if you want to sell a computer, and a good way to totally clean a Microsoft Windows installation of viruses and spyware. DBAN prevents or thoroughly hinders all known techniques of hard disk forensic analysis.
The development and support of the DBAN software project is funded in part by GEEP International. GEEP is the largest, the most efficient, and the most environmentally conscientious consumer electronics recycling company in North America.

What The Literary Machine can do for you
Creativity is not "connecting the dots" with a graphic program that weaves a web among them all over your computer screen. Creativity is seeing which dots are connected. In groundbreaking, ingenious ways, LM helps you do that. What makes LM different from other idea-generators? It doesn't pass off rote as thinking. Instead of showing you a generic list of logical formulas to wade through in hopes that one accidentally manipulates your ideas in some meaningful way, it works with your mind, illuminating connections and stimulating insight.
The Literary Machine is a dynamic archive and an idea management tool aimed at creative thinking — built especially with the writer in mind. It is packed with indexing and display techniques so general and potent that you will use it as an intelligence center. In a class by itself, it is virtually an extension of your brain. So, write in it. Collect and sort information and ideas in it. Make it your treasure chest of random notes and ideas for analysis and future reference. For, it will serve you well as the substance, catalyst, and processor for relating or reusing them in creative combinations.
LM is designed to fulfill needs, not fancy. So it does not fool around with features that your conventional word processor and email client already do well and more efficiently than a database could. Instead, LM teams with your other programs to accomplish what, till now, was possible only in your dreams.
A word about the learning curve:
LM's core database features are highly intuitive and easy to learn. But learning to use all the program's capabilities is another matter. LM has such extraordinary capabilities because it is an unusual program. Consequently, it takes time to learn.
Such power always comes at a price. To make a powerful program do what you want, you often must learn techniques and procedures, not just where to find this or that command. (If you are familiar with high-end graphics software like Adobe™ Photoshop, you immediately see what we mean.) Don't worry: LM's learning curve is nowhere near as steep as that of high-end graphics software. But it is steeper than that of most freeware and shareware. So, be forewarned: you probably cannot master LM's Project window in a day.
Therefore, we do not recommend this program as a solution for an important project that now has you up against a deadline. Especially if you're not technically savvy and have never worked with a sophisticated database before. And we do not recommend LM for people unwilling to read the documentation, view the slide-show animations, and study the tutorials. Also, we suggest that you establish a second instance of the program on your machine to serve as a practice database. You'll learn faster, because you'll experiment more — knowing that your main installation and its important data are safe from a beginner's mistakes.
If you plan to buy the Professional version, it is a good idea to try LM2000 first. We can help LM Pro users with individual mail support, but we cannot guarantee that everybody really likes the basic ideas in the LM program design.
OK, that's it.

)If Bush gets it done, America gets FREE software!
A message from Jeremy White, President and CEO of CodeWeavers:
Dear Friends,
As the presidential election season approaches, we all understand that the nation's business has a tendency to languish. And yet, with our country at war, facing a faltering economy and a myriad of other ills, the next six months cannot be wasted. Therefore, we at CodeWeavers call upon President Bush to continue moving the nation's business ahead, regardless of the obstacles he may face.
To support of this effort, we at CodeWeavers are sucking it up for the good of the nation and offering the President, and the country, major incentives to ensure that his last six months are productive. And so, it is with great pride that I announce the launch of The CodeWeavers Lame Duck Presidential Challenge!
Details of the challenge are below. We encourage all to help out by engaging in dialogue related to the effort on our blog, voicing opinions, suggesting solutions and spreading the word. We're counting on you, America, to help this country hit the ground running in 2009!
Sincerely,
Jeremy White

I have 2 GB of RAM and I run Windows Vista HP. I tested a little bit of this and that, too, and found out that the program which uses all my CPU when ACB loads is in fact Norman Virus Control (well it came with the computer!). If I turn off the real-time scanning in Norman, ACB has no problem opening my download folder.-anne_r (July 30, 2008, 05:26 AM)
From the little time that I have played with AC Browser, I haven't had the freezing problem anne_r. And I have opened some very large folders.
I hope you can get whatever it is causing the freezing solved.-cmpm (July 28, 2008, 04:52 PM)

QuickPHP - PHP Tester and Debugger (Lightweight PHP Web Server)
The Problem - Testing PHP Scripts Without IIS / Apache
Recently, I was trying to very quickly hack up a website (this website actually) using PHP but was reluctant to install IIS or Apache. All I wanted to do was to quickly test and debug any scripting errors. Since I'm not hosting this site locally, I don't want to turn my PC into a web server.
Microsoft Visual Studio comes with a development web server for ASP.NET. While it is quite buggy, it's just the right tool for developing web pages. Looking around, I found a few miserable attempt at some thing similar, but most of them do not even parse the URI for GET params, let alone handling POST requests.
I quickly determined the following requirements:
* Can be tested with any browsers (therefore, must be a web server)
* Must not use .NET framework - PHP developers don't necessary care about .NET
* Small size and no installation - so I could grab it here and use it on any computer (hence, no .NET again)
* Must be able to handle GET, POST and HEAD requests
* Must not rely on PHP to be installed
* Supports PHP extensions and PHP.ini (most scripts require them)
This is the result.
Weighing in at just over 500KB in size and using around 9MB of memory with PHP DLL running, QuickPHP is one of the most lightweight fully functional standalone PHP web server in the world today!
The Solution - Meet QuickPHP
The Freeware PHP Development Web Server for Testing and Debugging your PHP Scripts.
Features:
* Freeware
* A PHP development web server
* The PHP version of Microsoft Visual Studio's ASP.NET Development Server
* Extremely lightweight in both disk space (file size) and memory footprint
* An empty WinForms .NET application uses more memory than this web server!
* Ideal for quickly testing your website locally
* Without the hassle of converting your machine into a web server
* Runs as a standalone application
* Serves HTML and PHP files
* Tested with PHPBB3 - from installation to a fully running forum
* Purely Win32 application - does NOT require .NET framework
* No installation required!
* Simply unzip into a random folder and run!

AntiVir lets you define the maximum level of recursion in a compressed file (20 as a default), but as far as I know, it just ignores those that go over the limit.-Lashiec (July 28, 2008, 04:14 PM)

As soon as you have malware running on your system, you're game over. If a HIPS/firewall/antivirus solution can't keep stuff from coming in, forget about it.
At least NT has proper fine-grained permissions, unlike the owner/group/world crap from the *U*X mentality smiley
