Found Deals and Discounts / Re: Acronis TrueImage 10 available for free

I keep getting Error 500 when I try to register.  May it be that the server is overloaded? Does it happen to anybody else?

Do you think that it is a good idea for the government/military to use open-source software? Isn't it a serious security risk?

Anyhow, I can hardly wait to see what projects they have.

General Software Discussion / Re: Benchmarked: Ubuntu vs Vista vs Win7

« Last post by bgd77 on February 05, 2009, 04:11 AM »

I installed the 64 bit version of Windows 7 on a virtual machine (on a 32 bit host). The installation worked like a charm. And it seamed pretty fast to me (compared with XP or Vista). And compared with Ubuntu, it seemed to be about the same. But this is just my personal subjective opinion. Next time I will use a clock.

I do not know any desktop application, but I use the ReminderFox addon that is available for Firefox and Mozilla. Considering that the first application I open after the computer starts is the browser, I do not need a desktop application as a ToDo List. So, if this is also your situation, I highliy recommand it.

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: FARR plugin: PuTTY (preliminary discussion)

Of course not. The more versions you can cover, the better. It was just an idea not to include the ones that are causing you troubles...

OK. I'm looking forward to testing your plug in. 

KiTTY seems to have some quite useful features, I think I will use it instead of PuTTY. 
So, thanks for the info!

Find And Run Robot / Re: How to add 'find and run' into startu

« Last post by bgd77 on January 29, 2009, 01:27 AM »

Open FARR (All Programs->FindAndRunRobot->Find and Run Robot) if it is not running.

Right click on the tray icon, choose Options. In Program Options choose Settings, the General. The "Start automatically when Windows starts" option should be enabled.

Now FARR should start when Windows starts.

I was a little shocked to see that there are so many PuTTYs. In the company we only use the original version, I do not think that any colleague of mine has heard of the other variants.  So, thanks for the information, I'll have to research the other variants to see if they bring anything new and useful for us. 

Anyway, this plugin would be a great one! If you have problems with the various flavors, you could try, at first, to make the plugin work only with the original version of it and after that try to adapt it to all of them.

I am reopening this discussion to put a question that may had been responded in other parts of this forum (but I was unable to find those responses  ). I hope you won't be tough on me. So, here it goes:

What books do you recommend to learn the syntax of C++?

I want to know, from your experience, what is the best book to learn C++.

Thanks!

Living Room / Re: What Sports Do You Participate In?

« Last post by bgd77 on October 08, 2008, 02:48 AM »

Here in Romania, footbal (soccer, for non-europeans) is the most important sport there can be. I go with my co-workers and play every Tuesday. I also play table tennis and chess, and others, but less frequently. A sport I would like to participate in, but I do not have where, is rugby.
