I have recommended PageFour a couple of times. It is not advanced in any way, not even fancy to look at. But it is nice and easy and to the point. I like it. Normally $39, but today (only) it is free:

I am aware that someone is thinking the below quoted line may attract some new visitor's attention because it is indicating that coders are around. But really? I am embarrassed every time my eyes caches the line! If I go to a site and notice a headline hasn't been updated for almost 3 years, I am already about to leave that site!

« Last post by Curt on December 02, 2012, 01:47 PM »
Apple’s introduction of an unlocked and contract free iPhone 5 may be a big thing in the United States, but for the rest of the world it’s business as usual.

At the current rate iPhone 5 is approx $850 (in Denmark) WITH a contract, and, can you guess it, $850 WITHOUT a contract! The difference being "minimum usage", whether you use the phone or not, plus, of course, that you don't have put down more than approx $50 each month for two years, if you get a contract - again: whether you use the phone or not... If you are not a heavy user, it is cheapest to merely buy the phone without a contract. Heavy users can safe some, by getting it with a contract.

I feel the original linked story is telling too little about actual history: Gorm, the English man who came to Denmark (and who's son became king of all of Denmark and Norway), was accepted as king of a small part of Denmark. Important detail: He did not fight his way to become a ruler of foreign territory, but was accepted as the new king - meaning, he must have been speaking a language that was easy for the Danes to understand; you don't elect a leader you don't know what is saying. So, already 1200 years ago English and Danish were quite similar. I think the linked post should have reflected this a lot more.

-------
Regarding Shades words:
I cannot understand the spoken Dutch, but we (Danes and Netherlanders) do have several words in common. And I too have noticed that it is quite possible for me to read Dutch - but only because I also know the German language.

What's the verdict on Mr Tech?
Are there still any users of Mr Tech Toolkit?
I had Mr Tech Toolkit for years, and managed my add-ons through it, but I removed disabled it as it seemed to be not keeping up with the FF updates and started causing FF to crash in peculiar ways. I was sad to see it go.    :(

What if it was Scandinavian structure with Germanic & French words?

English words are mainly of 'West-Germanic', Scandinavian ('North-Germanic'?), and French origin.
I'm not sure of proportions.
(I couldnt answer your question either way.)

PS I've no vested interest in the article. I've read a fair bit about the evolution of the English language but not really -whats-the-word- 'scholarly' stuff :-[
There's influence from all the mentioned countries - whether it gets called Germanic or North Germanic doesnt make any difference to me one way or the other!

Danish - the oldest Scandinavian language still in existence - contains a lot of German and French words from various periods in time. In the 17'th century it was modern to speak French, so a lot of French words were adopted (including my own family name), but in the 18'th century the same thing happened with German as supplier.

However, it hasn't changed the basics; Danish and English are VERY similar constructed - I don't have to think very much in order to write this post, I almost translate directly from Danish to English. If I was to translate into German, I would first have to think hard, because the basic construction is quite different. I remember from my childhood, it was said that when fishermen from he most western part of Denmark went on land in England, they could quite easily understand what was said. The Danish language includes several thousand English words, and the English a few thousand Danish words.

Historically, Denmark and England have been closely connected from approx year 850 when a man came from "England-to-be". His son was the actual founder of the Kingdom of Denmark and Norway: Harold Bluetooth.

I really don't care how good this program may turn out to be - I will not recommend it! I am totally certain  that the author is a former member of Stasi, KGB, FBI, or similar. I have NEVER before seen so much double quadro confirming this-and-that information before ever getting inside of the program. I cannot even be bothered to tell how much it was - life is too short!

Anyone using the DuckDuckGo AddOn?  I'm trying it now. I can see adding it to the search engine list. But I'm wondering what the AddOn does for me other than stick a DDG Button on the toolbar?

maybe it was made with respect to the saying, "out of sight, out of thought" (or how the English version may go), so a normal entry in the search box only wouldn't make it a forgotten option.

edit:
Regarding the wording "so a normal entry in the search box only wouldn't make it a forgotten option" - well, I am not sure what I said, but I know what I meant. Hope you get it as well ;-)

Be glad that it re-started your computer without first asking; otherwise you would be without any change to restore your system! And they inform about this on their page, just about an inch below the normal download link, and in the FAQ.

it is my "believe" (imagination) that they've installed the free version.

SysRestore Pro has been recommended by Gizmo at techsupport, and is right now offered for FREE:
http://www.techsuppo...free-normally-49.htm

The product is available as a Free or a Pro version.  Going Pro normally costs $49, but if you head to http://www.sysnew.com/sysrestore-pro/ before December 1st you can get it for free.  You'll find the licence code on that page, ready to paste into the free trial program that you can download from a separate link on the site.

Note that you'll need to turn off any similar product that you already use. As for Windows System Restore, if you forget to turn it off before installing SysRestore Pro then the program will offer to do it for you.

In my own tests, the program worked very well.  I set a snapshot, then deleted a handful of files, then chose to restore to the snapshot point.  A few seconds later, and after a restart or 2, my PC was back to its previous state with the files intact.
