imdb live search is already provided in google plus addon by the way, not that it's a bad idea to add it.
now adding a live search of amazon and amazon books.. DROOOOOOL...... i'd give my left arm for that.

this is overkill but to be sure you could:
 redownload, install it again, start it and make sure to UNCHECK the option to have it start with windows, then exit and run uninstaller.

i really wish i did.. they were almost all made on the original ibm pc, which we bought the day it came out in 1981, and those floppies are long gone.  to bad too, it would be fun to look back at them.  i use to make games on a trs-80 as well, which was great fun.

i've sent you my donation, let's see if enough others chip in to make this thing happen!  everyone send y0himba a couple of credits -- just click the gold coin under to his name to the left.

anyone remember a link to the last thread here on the forum where there was a mystery box type review?

if someone is willing to do a detailed pictorial review of what they get, i think we should all chip in and send the person enough to buy the Jumbo Mystery Box on that site.. looks like it would be about $50.

only US residents though since i think international shipping might just be too high.

ProcessTamer / Re: Non Admin usage

« Last post by mouser on December 15, 2009, 09:06 AM »

Process tamer should always find all processes.

But keep in mind that by default in the display it only shows processes that are eating up a non-trivial amount of cpu or that have unusual process priorities.

To show ALL processes, uncheck the box marked "Hide < 1% Normal CPI" at the bottom:



Let me know if that solves your problem.

The entire motivation for me learning to program was to make games.. When i was just learning to program at the age of 13 or so i would try to make my own versions of arcade games.. I made lots of them.. games you kids may never have heard of.. q*bert, centipede, space invaders, asteroids, star castle, targ, pac man, lunar lander, etc.  Some i did well, and some were truly pathetic. Later I spent the good part of the year writing an adventure game creation system that combined text adventure features with ultima and wizardry type graphics, that i had huge hopes for, but it never went anywhere.  Making games is one of the funnest things that you can do a coder -- i wish i had the time to work on such things now.

All of the discounts that DC arrange are always for full version with full upgrade rights same as if you bought the program full price.

I'm not sure MetaRoot (Volodymyr ) has published an upgrade cost policy.. Volodymyr maybe you would consider doing so? For some people it's very important to know that if they buy your software and you release new versions, that your policy is reasonable about upgrading.

Here's an example policy:

N.A.N.Y. 2010 / Re: NANY 2010 Program Idea Suggestion Thread

« Last post by mouser on December 15, 2009, 08:03 AM »

I may not be a typical user, but i never use due dates on a todo list -- i use a todo list more for things that i want to get through as soon as possible.
I do like checkboxes though, because it's useful to see what you've done and how much you've accomplished, at least until you are ready to remove it completely after some time.
So i guess for me i like the idea of multiple checklists, where i can check each item off a list until that list is complete, and then file that list away into storage.

It might be nice to start a new thread on ToDo List Ultimate features.. we have a similar one for note taking applications, but todo list applications have their own set of challenges.

Developer's Corner / Assemblee: Indie Game Design Competition

« Last post by mouser on December 15, 2009, 07:47 AM »

This looks like a fun thing:

Assemblee is a two-part game-making competition!  Each part has its own rules.

1. In the first part, artists and musicians will have a month to create as many art and music assets as they wish.  These assets will be voted on at the end of the month based on the quantity, quality, and variety of the assets provided.

2. In the second part, designers and programmers will have a month to take the assets created in part one and make games with them (assets used need not be limited to one person or team).  The programmers cannot make any changes to the assets unless it's done during runtime.  The best game will be voted on in the normal fashion.

3. Finally, the teams that created games for the second part will each vote on which artists and musicians they felt were the most useful in making their game.

4. The art and music that was created for the competition will be released to the public under certain provisions (non-commercial, credit given, etc.).

« Last post by mouser on December 14, 2009, 08:17 PM »

yeah put coins on every block for him to gather.. scatter $1 $5 $10 coins to dare him to try to get to places that might be risky.  some times he might even have to go high up and fall down to get them.

one thing -- it might be nice to use not random but predefined simple level data files, that way people can make actually tricky puzzles out of the levels.  just an idea.

Maybe it should be Cody who is jumping around?

I'm not sure if you are looking for suggestions, but what if instead of blocks completely dissapearing or appearing after each move, blocks crumbled over the course of a few stages.. so that you had to plan your route to use blocks before they dissapeared.. with new ones appearing only at top of the screen as you move upward.

Please note that as of December 14, 2009 -- I've changed the guidelines to make them a little more stringent and specifically say that you can't simply paste in some blurb about your product -- you have to write a real human post if you want to tell us about your product.
