I really don't get why the Americans, the pioneers of sex, drugs and rock'n'roll, try to force avoiding "four-letter words" at all... now don't mention "children safety" or something; I mean, hey, war is great, but don't even DARE to say "fuck"? WTF!

Also ESET's post-2.x GUI is awful. But it still has the best heuristics on the market AFAICS.

found nothing suitable (lot of wget related scripts).
-fenixproductions (September 13, 2010, 05:47 PM)
As some of us here  :D also have wget.exe, maybe you could provide some of those wget-related scripts, so we could mash up something on our own?

Yep, UE is sluggish ...

CE has some weird GUI issues, though, like losing the alignment settings sometimes.
Following its development anyway.

« Last post by Tuxman on September 12, 2010, 09:08 AM »
Websites which don't have to tell me anything without me having Flash or Java enabled are not worth a click.
I neither have Java nor Flash plug-ins installed, I just don't need them on teh interwebz.

Living Room / Re: What are your favorite RSS Feeds?
« Last post by Tuxman on September 02, 2010, 04:27 PM »
I have a quite long list of feeds... RSSOwl screenie:



Most of them are in German, though. My favorites right now are The Oatmeal (nerd jokes  :D), the FAIL Blog (just for the lolz) and Fefes Blog (because I like political conspiration theories). Some things like Daily Garfield and xkcd.com are saved as my start pages, so I don't have them as RSS... saves some space.

If anyone is actually interested, here's the OPML file:

I switched from PowerArchiver to WinRAR when it became payware until I found 7-Zip some years ago.
Sticking with .7z (LZMA2 is fine) for most purposes, rather exotic file types are handled by IZArc (yes, I still do work with .ace archives every now and then).

Although I'm quite sure that PAQ8 is still the strongest compression algorithm, it lacks speed. Would probably prefer it to .7z else.

In theory it's easy:
If you want to make money, don't use stuff licensed under the GPL.

A counter-example:
Adobe Photoshop is non-free software, however anyone - anywhere - will distribute free copies of it to the general public. So is it pointless to say "it is commercial software"?

Well, I must have misread something then, but the latest thing I've read was "well, it's about 10% anyway, so what?". Sorry if I misunderstood.

-wraith808 (August 12, 2010, 08:19 PM)
Team Circle Dock will take the program forward, as a fully non-GPL semi-commercial product, and likely to be under Microsoft's BizNet umbrella.

According to the GPL v1, v2 and v3, even if one single line in an application is licensed under the GPL, the whole application has to be GPL-licensed. Any other use is illegal.

people surprisingly believe that 64bit software is better than 32
-fenixproductions (August 11, 2010, 06:49 PM)
Well, let them believe so. Following them doesn't make you smarter.

- better support for 64bit context menu extensions,
-fenixproductions (August 11, 2010, 06:49 PM)
"Better" meaning what?

- better support for special system folders - IIRC there are some issues with WOW64.
-fenixproductions (August 11, 2010, 06:49 PM)
I srsly doubt that accessing these folders is related to your CPU arch.

What would be the need of a 64-bit TC when it doesn't support explorer plug-ins anyway?
