NoteTab doesn't get much love in this stronghold of coders, but it's still a good editor if you aren't a coder.

If you aren't a coder,
1. Notepad will work for you,
2. you won't pay money for a text editor.

Your OS does not necessarily have to perform a proper shutdown when pressing the Power button. Only if it is set to.

"Turn off" = shut down OR just pull the plug. This is the difference.

« Last post by Tuxman on July 06, 2012, 01:12 AM »
I recently "tried" Unity (I needed to do some quick boot sector recovery and had no Debian live CD with me). Conclusion: A bloated, ugly version of the lovely WindowMaker with a bad "look" and no "feel". Ridiculous DE.

"Turn off" is not the same as "shutdown".

« Last post by Tuxman on July 02, 2012, 01:15 AM »
Vodka. Blergh. Some taste like nothing, some taste like the coat of your tongue after a long night. Vodka is for those who want to adulterate their good alcohol. I hate those people. They even drown good Czech beer in cheap coke.

Easiest way to turn off your computer is to press the power button!

Ever did that while the system was writing into critical files? Hint: Don't.

Since I had found the FindAndRunRobot (and replaced it by Launchy now  :P), I have not really used the start menu anymore. ac'tivAid has been providing my shutdown dialog (Ctrl+Q) for years anyway.  :D

It just looks weird down there without the start button.

Ask in their forums.  :P

Hmm, we Nightly users can't see as much progress as expected, it seems. Now let's see what the next version will be. I hope, not 3.0.  :D

All players which use native system codecs and don't bring their own ones, presumably.

VLC's major problem is the overdriven audio output IMO, but also video has worse quality than Media Player Classic with ffdshow. Interestingly most problems are gone when I tick the checkbox to "use system codecs", but VLC's only advantage is gone then.

Although VLC is so mediocre in terms of video/audio quality? Respectable.

General Software Discussion / Re: DropBox to drop support for Public folder (no more direct links)
« Last post by Tuxman on June 16, 2012, 11:37 PM »
No, Tuxman is correct. The link states that users can continue to link to files, they just won't have a dedicated folder for that anymore. So basically what I said.

« Last post by Tuxman on June 16, 2012, 10:44 PM »
Hahaha, "Dropbox to drop". I see what you did there.

Anyway:

It seems they are trying to stop direct linking to files.

No. They added direct linking to all files a while ago, so the public folder has no real additional value anymore.

Yep, a pity. One of those classic "set-and-forget" services, been running for me for years. Damn.
Any decent alternative?

Inkscape is not a raster image editor.
Photoshop is something to purchase too.
