Phil: There is a problem with tests conducted by these groups, they are not indicative of real world results. As was stated earlier, real world browsing cannot be accurately measured due to numerous hurdles and issues not taken into account with speed testing.

Roboform USED to require a plugin for firefox. However, upon installation now, it works by attaching to the browser. You will see an extension listed in the addons manager, but it is no longer required. IE has always worked without a plugin.

What about keepass do you consider more secure? I am unsure what you mean when you say "Password management is being done by a separate program". Isnt roboform a separate program? I mean, both encrypt your data and are password protected.

One could argue that Opera wasn't designed with the purpose of supporting Roboform in mind . But I think you plea could be fulfilled in a near future (Opera 10, perhaps?) if the extension capabilities hinted by Opera's CEO are big enough to let Roboform interact with Opera.

Heh, I couldn't believe when it appeared on my reader this afternoon, the RC was released yesterday! Bad timing though, I have a few tabs pending here, so I can't upgrade (read: clean install) for now. I also have to check UserJS compatibility with the new version, but the changelog is full of excellent news. And their servers clearly were getting hammered with people flooding to get the new version

And in four days we're getting Firefox 3

Where was this hint made? I would be very interested to see what opera 10 has in store if there is any sort of extension capability being planned.

Dont get me wrong, I love opera, but I can only use it so long before the third party programs I have which provide me needed functionality begin to rear their heads. I mean, I can only go so far with the built in functionality before I need more. This is where firefox shines for me.

Allen, please dont take my post as a jab at you. I am jabbing at opera because of their "Use what we give you or nothing at all" mentality. I apologize if it appeared that way

Umm, opera provides NO WAY for roboform to support it. There is no way for Roboform to access page content as the browser reads it. It needs full access to opera DOM model which opera does not provide access to. This has been discussed ad nauseum on operas forums and roboforms support pages. Roboform has contacted opera several times to try and add support, just look at their browsers supported list and you will see they support just about every browser out there, but opera has refused to provide a mechanism for roboform to tie into it. Roboform doesnt work on linux, thats true, but I dont hold it against it because it was never designed with that purpose in mind.

I didnt mention firefox. The wand pales in comparison to roboform. Several users here can atest to that fact.

Opera, YES! I wish for 3rd party support. Not even extension support, but a way for programs to tie into the browser. I would kill for the day to see roboform working with opera. It would make my web browsing days complete if I could see such a feat!

Living Room / Cedega on linux

« Last post by Josh on June 11, 2008, 01:02 AM »

I am trying to find anyone who has, or still uses Cedega. I am trying to find out if games from www.bigfishgames.com work in this platform. If anyone can provide me any input, it would be greatly appreciated. This is the one thing that is holding me back from a linux swap and that is the fact that my wife plays all of these games which will not run on linux.

Thanks!

A side note: If someone has linux running and is willing to test this, let me know and I will send you 15 in credits to pay for a temporary subscription of 3 months (their minimum timeframe to subscribe) so this can be tested.

General Software Discussion / Photo watermarking

« Last post by Josh on June 05, 2008, 06:27 AM »

All,

As some of you may know, my wife recently got into photography. As such I am looking for a program to watermark her photos. I would like input from users who have experience with a program they can recommend. There are several programs out there which do this, but many appear to be single solution companies with very little in the terms of long term survivability. Any input is appreciated.

Thanks!

Josh
