I like to buy a decent a car and then keep it for as long as I reasonably can... I'm not keen on change.
At least now is a great time to buy. Some dealers have inventory stacked to the rafters, with existing contracts for more.-cranioscopical (January 31, 2009, 02:33 PM)
1. Ask. Don't be bashful or timid about asking for donations.-40hz (January 30, 2009, 12:43 PM)
Surprised that this hasn't been mentioned, unless I missed something, but I absolutely love EmEditor.
It supports several types of automatic backups, stored bookmarks in files, a nice tabbed interface, etc.
Not sure exactly what you're looking for with filters, however. EmEditor supports all types of data (text, binary, hex, etc) and includes RegEx find/replace support. If you go with the pro version (totally worth it) you also get many great plugins included.-broken85 (January 30, 2009, 11:41 AM)
Be very careful when using compressed air inside a computer case - and never on a running machine. Compressed air tends to be pretty cold, and can cause water condensation, possibly resulting in fried PSUs.
If you do use compressed air, the trick is of course to combine it with a regular vacuum cleaner (which is just fine for in-case use in my experience), so you don't just blow the dust around-f0dder (January 30, 2009, 09:06 AM)
i want to double what f0dder says -- i destroyed up a power supply by blowing compressed air into it.
i say: never never EVER use compressed air inside a computer case.-mouser (January 30, 2009, 09:08 AM)
8. Lastly, whatever you do, see if you can find a way to give Curt that third gold box he wants so badly?-40hz (January 30, 2009, 12:43 PM)
If we all pay 1 credit each you can easily buy a dvd recorder and be done with it what you think?-justice (January 30, 2009, 12:13 PM)
I had the same "issues" with the immediate post Magix takeover cash grab that Carol refers to above, but like Carol it is water under the bridge now. I hadn't used it in ages but last week was requred to generate a map for a project and was amazed, as always, with how quick and intuitvie it is what if during the fundraiser month we said that if people chose not to donate we would still give them a lifetime non-expiring license key?
Is that defeating the purpose? It's kind of like an anti-incentive to donate so maybe it doesn't make any sense..-mouser (January 30, 2009, 11:00 AM)
Let me get this clear. Are you proposing, as an economy measure, to trade in Mrs. Darwin in order to free up more funds for software?-cranioscopical (January 28, 2009, 09:46 PM)
I received discount offers (by the trash can full) but I did receive maintenance upgrades for the two versions I own - they came in the form of an email including a new license number. It was only a few days ago so maybe they are working though them.
Out of curiosity how do you renew the maintenance agreement - I only seem to have it having bought an upgrade last year?-Carol Haynes (January 29, 2009, 04:40 AM)
My suggestion is to by TI Echo Workstation (and purchase 'maintenance' with it).
It is a bit more expensive (though they will give you an upgrade price from the home version if you ask).
The maintenance is very cheap and can be renewed every year so you always keep up to date.
The advantage of WS version is that it is thoroughly tested and solid - unlike the Home versions which were always buggy (esp. in new releases).-Carol Haynes (January 28, 2009, 11:28 AM)
) I didn’t help out on this one, so read it start to finish as everyone else normally does - great overview of the past month
