I searched for it, when you first posted, but only found "1", "2" or "2+2", never "3".

To compare 3 pages, I expect I would use 3 different pdf viewers, via right-click.

Someone posted a more advanced "refresh system tray" script http://www.autohotke...80624-notrayorphans/ and also offers the download of a compiled script. If it works, just put NoTrayOrphans.exe" in one of your batch files. autohotkey.net /~Nazzal/Other /NoTrayOrp...

Hmm, I'm running into something weird. If I compile using AHK_L from >the code<, it seems to work every time. If I have my program call the compressed no icon version you attached, I have to mouse over every time. I've tried it using 10 second delay, and 5 minute delay(for closing an app sitting in the tray) and in either case the compressed version forces me to mouse over.

I'm using Windows Seven 32 bit no SP

-so, if the exe doesn't work well for you, it might be a good idea to go and copy the script instead.

"Where can I view the Boston marathon shots?"

-I know you didn't ask for this...: http://www.boston.co...boston_marathon.html , but I am posting anyway.

---------------

Already 3 years ago we were talking a bit about the extremely large version of The Last Supper. The homepage has been taken down or renamed, so I no longer have a valid link. But the story was mentioned many places.

http://www.bitrebels...-picture-ever-taken/

The original 15 by 30 foot painting was photographed over a period of 9 hours and later meticulously stitched together where the tapestry of images finally became a fully viewable and zoom-able image. This image has never before been seen in it’s full scale on the Internet.

Just to clarify, the entire image takes up over 2 terabytes of hard disk space and it takes 16 gigabyte of ram memory to correctly process it in real time. The gallery now sports even more images in the same high resolution format so if you’re looking for awesomeness then Halta Definizione is a great place to get it.

Now Leonardo da Vinci’s painting can be viewed by millions down to the very last detail. The Internet and the technology we see advancing each and every day never ceases to amaze me. To view the 16.118.035.591 pixel (172181 x 93611) image just go to their website and be inspired!

-thanks for explaining, f0dder.

At first I was confused by Brodkin's use of the word Dropbox in the article's title, but now I guess it is the American way of speaking - like hoover for 'vacuum cleaner', google it for 'search the Internet', etcetera. Anyway, it reminded me that Dropbox initially was cloud-free, 'desktop only'.
---

The last paragraph of the article in mention has a link to more of the "no-cloud-required" kind:

BitTorrent Sync perhaps doesn't make it quite as easy to share files as cloud services like Dropbox, Google Drive, or SkyDrive do. It's also far from being the first software to sync files across devices without storing them in a cloud service. But it works well so far, and—particularly when it adds mobile capabilities—BitTorrent Sync seems destined to become a worthy addition to the rapidly expanding file sharing market.

1685
I don't understand any of this. Why are f0dder saying BitTorrent is superior to some thing? Except for my brain, there is absolutely nothing in the entire world as slow as the BitTorrents I have tried - not even a genuine snail could move that slow! If it is fast, why have I ALWAYS been disappointed with how extremely slow it is?

General Software Discussion / Re: How to stop Firefox page-opening sound?
« Last post by Curt on April 30, 2013, 04:04 PM »
it is certainly not Firefox itself, doing it. So it must either be an addon, doing it, or your installed security program scanning each Internet page. But I have never before heard of such "sound feature", so I cannot say one or the other.

It is mind-blowing to think just how out-of-this-world good a new cartoon would have to be, in order to be just equally as good as Calvin & Hobbes. I can't imagine how fantastic it would be, if it was even better.

I didn't know that even Cher made a cover version of Melanie's Brand New Key.
Watch this sweet sweeter sweetest music video ♥ :




Half an hour later: I just realize that any "young" readers may not have the slightest idea about the connection between a "pair of roller skates" and "a key". From http://en.wikipedia....g/wiki/Roller_skates "skates like these fit on over your shoes and were adjustable" - however, I don't think the author really knows the subject, because he doesn't mention the important key. You totally need the key, in order make the skate fit your shoes - the very point of Melanie's song.

In my childhood I knew of no other kind of roller skates than these.

General Software Discussion / InCtrl X: Monitor Changes to Your System
« Last post by Curt on April 24, 2013, 11:20 AM »
InCtrl was quite popular, but wasn't updated after version 5, so it died. "Now" (January 2012) PCMag has re-written and re-introduced InCtrl X - yes, they skipped 6, 7, 8, 9, and went straight to 10!

Page 1: http://www.pcmag.com...35,00.asp#top-header
Page 2: http://www.pcmag.com...,2817,2398842,00.asp
Page 3: http://www.pcmag.com...,2817,2398843,00.asp

InCtrl X is a radical change from the previous method of capturing changes. In this version, it does real-time monitoring of a process. Instead of taking a pre and post install system snapshot and then comparing, InCtrl X watches what files and registry changes are made by the running process. So not only can you capture system changes during an installation, you can capture changes of a process currently installed and running on your system.

InCtrl features include:
• Monitor registry, file, and folder additions, deletions, and changes
• Monitor software installations, running programs, and uninstall routines
• Continue monitoring after Windows restart
• Produce reports of changes in HTML and Text format

I have not (yet) tried the program. Have you?  :tellme:
Price is $8 or $20 like every other PCMag application.

regarding Speed Dial - maybe test "FVD Speed Dial with Full Online Sync":
https://addons.mozil...ddon/fvd-speed-dial/ ? I don't remember why I don't use it.
It is based on the original Speed Dial, but is often updated (which Speed Dial is not).

Lifehacker Faceoff: The Best Start Pages for Your Browser

Firefox users don't have quite as amazing a selection as Chrome users, but its still chock full of new tab extensions for you to try out. Our favorite is FVD Speed Dial, which provides both great looks and a ton of features.

The Best: FVD Speed Dial

FVD Speed Dial is what you make of it. You can add new shortcuts and let them load previews of their sites, or give them custom logos to make the start page really pop. It also has built-in logos for popular sites, and while the list of sites isn't huge, you can choose from a ton of different thumbnails for each site, meaning you can make some pretty snazzy looking pages.

It also has a ton of options for how the page works, letting you add or remove a search bar, a "most visited" page, recently closed tabs, not to mention choose a background and customize the color of everything you see. It isn't quite as simple to use as its Chrome brethren, but with a bit of fiddling, you have the potential to make a pretty awesome looking page that behaves exactly like you want it to.

Living Room / Re: What are your favorite movies?
« Last post by Curt on April 19, 2013, 05:30 PM »
Danes, Norwegians and certain Eastern Europeans will know what this 12½ minutes music video is about. To the rest of you I must tell, it is not "a music video", but a clip from the last part of the most watched Danish movie ever. Denmark has only about 6 million people, but this film has been watched more than 1.2 million times in the movie theaters just in Denmark, plus the many times in the other countries. To my knowledge it has never been translated into or sub-titled in English, because it is a comedy of a certain "Scandinavian sense of humor" kind; 1976 Denmark. But speaking of language, you don't need to understand the few words that were spoken during the music in this clip.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olsen_Gang

The plot is to break trough several walls and into the last room under the Royal Theater's stage, in order to get to the lift/elevator => up to a loge/lounge => to steel the suitcase,  while the tired orchestra is playing the overture to Kuhlau's Elverhøj, and while the crowd (and the guards!) during the end of the overture has to rise and salute the king (the guards used to be sitting on the two suitcases in mention).

It's "Ours is the pizza place", not "Our", damnit!

-which also was what the picture's text said
when it used the not so subtle word "incorrect",
which actually was the very point of the rule.
But of course another rule was not to read this thread
in the first place. So where can we read it?

I believe it is a file manager that can tag every downloaded file, and replace Evernote
- all from within Firefox.

What is TagSpaces?
    A Firefox add-on, which allows you to navigate and organize your local files with the help of tags.
    A extensible platfrom providing a web based user interface for your hard drive.
    A purely locally running application, which does not need a web server.

Key Features:
    File browsing, viewing, editing and tagging (without the need of a database)
    Different visualization possibilities of directory structures and files
    Portability of the tags, due to the fact, that tags are saved in the filename

Typical Use cases:
    Evernote alternative
    Personal wiki
    Data i.e. file management
