Has there been no word on the effect this policy change will have on existing license holders? If they're not saying anything, maybe anyone who bought a license prior to Dec 2008 (or so, I'm guesstimating here) will continue to enjoy lifetime upgrades... Has anyone written to them yet? If not, I'm game...Haven't seen any mention of this anywhere, except for Jibz' investigations - definitely no emails or anything. Can't remember when I purchased WinRAR, but it's the first app I bought when I finally got a VISA card and could shop online.-Darwin (March 12, 2011, 10:27 AM)
T'S OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAND! or just Over 9,000 is an over-used meme that was started by the japanese anime show 'Dragonball S**t', where characters would use scouters to detect power levels. This meme was c**tpasted many, many times and it's not funny anymore. Usage will only make you look like a weeaboo.
I think Renegade should get a "My post got run over by the f0dder-truck"-badge for that one.

There´s another one that could get very important in the future missing in the list: NanozipWe'll see - as long as it's binary-only, it's uninteresting apart from academic purposes.
It has the best compression power and its goal is envolving to create new and higher compression algorithms compared to others. Some testfiles have become the half of 7zip in ultra - depending on the data.
You can check out an actual comparison to other archivers here.-Crush (March 12, 2011, 03:07 AM)
I don't see how reputation is relevant to proficiency. I thought it was more about being able to trust someone to be a constructive and helpful member of the site. You don't need to be an expert in much of anything, except perhaps good manners and etiquette for that.It's relevant because people judge quality of answer by looking not only at the ranking for each individual answer, but also at the answerer's overall reputation.-Deozaan (March 10, 2011, 05:10 PM)
Also, not sure where you get the figure for 100 rep for linking the account. My new account(s) have exactly 0 rep. Er, well, I guess you start at 1? I can't remember for sure.Hm. I started on StackOverflow, and have used a couple of the other sites. When I log on a new stack site with my OpenId, it gives me the opportunity to link accounts, and the times I've done that, I get a +100 rep bonus on the new site for linking.-Deozaan (March 10, 2011, 05:10 PM)
Good for speed, and storage space reduction at DropBox's servers, bad for privacy.I would have thought any sane service to only transfer modified blocks - SpiderOak certainly does.Actually, a friend of mine found out that DropBox does even more than that. It only transfers new blocks among all of its members' blocks. That is, if you try to upload a known large file (say a Ubuntu DVD or some known media), it'll upload instantly (regardless of the speed of your connection).-f0dder-jgpaiva (March 09, 2011, 06:30 PM)
The paranoia which surround OpenCandy astonishes me. I find the DLL related freak-outs particularly funny, seems as if people think a DLL sitting on your harddrive is more dangerous than a txt file? Which by the way, in terms of security/vulnerability issues, it's not!I've yet to hear of a text-file exploit, but it's not outside the realm of possibilities that an exploit could be found in the Portable Executable parser somewhere, that could trigger during explorer icon-extraction, an anti-malware program scanning the file, etc-Eóin (March 09, 2011, 03:37 PM)

Whereas you install anything and everything?Thanks, Curt. I uninstalled eBoostr 4.x a couple of months ago and haven't looked back.-Darwin (March 08, 2011, 10:57 AM)

I find that all these GUIs have limitations. And, yes, having all these tortoise running at the same might cause some caching problem. Although I've read that they're now supposed to play well together (speaking of the icons overlay here).Oh, the problems I've had are there even with a single Tortoise flavor installed - dunno if it "stacks up" when there's multiple versions. Happens relatively rarely, but enough that it's a minor annoyance.-Armando (March 08, 2011, 10:50 AM)
