can i put it on my PC? :D i've quite a few bumper stickers in my collection..
-lanux128 (July 08, 2008, 04:58 AM)
That's precisely why I asked for the size. I'm afraid it looks like it's a bit big for my 14'' laptop, though.. lol
It does look damn good, though :)

On one occasion I put TIA at the end of a message to my ISP, the only satellite provider available to me, sadly.
The reply that came back began with

Dear TIA...
                                                             
Their tech support is about what you'd expect from that
Those guys are really stupid! Everyone knows you meant you were in the international airport of albania. These tech support guys are just incredible. :P  ;D[/offtopic]

« Last post by jgpaiva on July 05, 2008, 07:27 PM »
skrommel: Looks like you found a forum limitation. Your post is too big. I tried adding the final closing to the quote tag and a spoiler tag, but it looks like the text can't get any bigger than that (and from what i understand, it didn't get the whole code you posted the first time). Maybe it's better for you to post it as an attachment.

PS: I just noticed i tried to edit it at the same time you were editing it too. Sorry!!

Announce Your Software/Service/Product / Re: thinBasic 1.6.0.10 just released
« Last post by jgpaiva on July 05, 2008, 07:14 PM »
erosolmi: I just want to thank you for the way you announce thinbasic's updates on DC. You post on the right section, give all the relevant information (and no more than that), and don't follow the somewhat "spammy/advertisement" trend that others do when referring to their own product.
 :Thmbsup:

Just one comment: you might not want to link to the download directly, probably it's better to link to the download page, so that future views of these posts always get the users to the latest version instead of an outdated one or a dead link.

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: Plugin: AlbumDisplayer (BETA)
« Last post by jgpaiva on July 05, 2008, 09:28 AM »
But since the enter key currently has no use in the plugin when the input box has focus, maybe I can modify it so that the enter redoes the search and immediately loads the first match. Let me look into that.
-Nod5 (July 05, 2008, 09:26 AM)
Yep, that's what i was thinking! :)

Very good work, nod5!! This proves the tremendous power of the html display :D
I just have one request: Is it possible to have it launch the first result when we press enter? :)

i still don't like the change but if it does indeed help security i can live with that
-mouser (July 04, 2008, 10:51 AM)
I don't think it's the right attitude to give security as an excuse for cripling software, that should be a last-resource option.
Personaly, i really can't understand why they've done that, and seriously hope Opera doesn't choose to do the same :(

« Last post by jgpaiva on July 04, 2008, 07:27 AM »
dickjones: I didn't remove your post because even though it's spam, it's directly related to the matter on discussion.
But here on DC, you are requested to specifically mention when you are directly related with a company.

Given the fact that you've made a few posts on other forums with a very similar sintax to the one on that post, i suppose that is the case, thus, you're violating the rules of the forum.

Living Room / Re: McAfee SiteAdvisor
« Last post by jgpaiva on July 04, 2008, 03:59 AM »
Also interesting is that if you search their database for the virus, nothing is found... Which begs the question: Are they inventing new viruses names just so that people think their software is great and detects lots of viruses?

[Select]

I think the above works (at least, i got to work with rereplace.com), but you'll have to do it several times because it only removes one dot at a time.

(replacement: "$1$2 $4$5" or "$1$2 $3$4")

Similar problem (not sure if it's related): When browsing the disk (details mode), if there are no results, the collumns' headers get partially cut off.
Options: No skinning, no custom fonts, auto-shrink on. (Vista 64)

I've considered RE'ing cmd.exe to add the backslash, though ;).

CMD.EXE isn't as powerful as, say, bash... but who cares?
-f0dder (July 03, 2008, 07:11 AM)
Personally, i don't find it a matter of which one is more powerful but as a matter of usability. bash is way more usable than cmd.. ctrl-r instantly searches previous commands, tab completes directory names with the slash (STUPID DECISION, microsoft), ctrl-d closes the command line, pressing up actually does go to the last command (i know some people probably prefer the way cmd works, i just think it's stupid).

No trivial operation should require dropping to a console. I view installing drivers, setting up a secondary monitor, managing services/daemons etc. as trivial operations.
-f0dder (July 03, 2008, 07:11 AM)
Absolutelly, I agree with you on that. The command should be complementing trivial operations, not a requirement to complete those.
It'd pretty cool to be able to manage the screens through commands in windows, though... That'd allow me to automate the process of connecting my external mon to my laptop :)

Quick File Compare. Check out with a single click whether two files are same or different.
-rjbull (July 01, 2008, 03:20 AM)

in latest XYPlorer version 7.3
-tomos (July 01, 2008, 03:41 AM)
And the latest beta takes a quantum leap in usability, and implements this with "Compare currently selected file with last selected file"! (in the previous version you had to copy the previous file, this version only needs 3 clicks! :D)

I had the same reaction, lashiec. But a google search turned up nothing, so i deduced that this wasn't result of a bot's actions. I still think it's spam, as it's completelly unrelated to DC, but i'll leave that for mouser to decide :P

General Software Discussion / Re: Anyone know an Antivirus Bootable CD or Floppy with NTFS support

I have no idea if it works for you, but Ultimate Boot CD includes mcfee antivirus (virus definitions from 3 may 2007, though).
Maybe it'd be better for you to list the ones you already found so that people won't start suggesting a few you have already seen? :)

Dormouse: Even though i really love windows, one thing i really recognize is that linux's command line is great, and i really like to use it. Also, i wouldn't say it's a bad thing to use the command line. I would really like to have such command line in windows, complementing it. The closest thing that comes to it would be.. Find and Run Robot :) (even though it isn't that much similar.. lol :P)
