Living Room / Favorite Websites...What are yours?

« Last post by KynloStephen66515 on May 09, 2012, 11:50 AM »

I am currently compiling a list of some great websites to visit for different topics and am wondering what everybody here has to say on the subject.

If you want to suggest one please do it in the following order so it makes it easier for me to add them to the list.

Category | Name/Link | Description

A example of how the list will look:

Category	Name/Link	Description	Rating
Software	DonationCoder	DonationCoder.com is a site for people who love computer software, and like the idea of supporting each other's work through donations. It's funded entirely by individuals who join the site.
	Download.com	Huge Software Repository Website
Books	FantasticFiction	"Bibliographies for over 30,000 authors: Information on over 350,000 books."   Invaluable for tracking your favourite authors' books, checking on series, etc.

Cheers!

"In one of these languages". Heh pity they specified that, it would be funny if someone wrote a correct answer in Lolcat.

Humor Note for the day: It would be hysterical if some eccentric business owner ran an enterprise system in Lolcat and made it sound like an ordinary programming job. The first 30 seconds when the new hire looks at 40,000 lines of Lolcat code doing something cutting edge would just make him DoubleFacepalm.

30 seconds...to read 40,000 lines of code?

Find And Run Robot / Re: Polish letter "ó"

« Last post by KynloStephen66515 on May 08, 2012, 10:40 AM »

I do not really fit me because I often use the "TypingAid" program that inserts text strings containing the letter "ó". Not always so I use the keyboard to insert the letter "ó". When I insert a string with the letter "ó" start options window. I would like to disable shortcut "alt + o" in the FARR

Anyway, as I see the "left ctrl + left alt + o" have the same effect. Open options window.

-Judykator (May 08, 2012, 10:16 AM)

Ah OK, I didn't know, I am not a FARR user - Just thought I would throw a random 'Workaround' into the mix

« Last post by KynloStephen66515 on May 08, 2012, 10:03 AM »

Have you tried doing Ctrl-Alt-O (left ctrl and left alt) that gives the same character you need, and probably won't interfere with the current alt-o shortcut.

Extensions have a ways to go with Opera. I am hoping v12 changes the APIs to make them more usable. They are good, enough, but could be better when compared to chrome or firefox. I am not a fanboy of ANY product, I am just willing to recognize the shortfalls in a product. No product is perfect and opera is decent, but there are still compatibility problems with some major sites.

Opera, on various systems I've tried it on, has long "delays" when opening menus, clicking links, or using other features of facebook. Google plus does not get update notifications, allow you to access the top right menus without third party code injection (even that is ify). There are more sites I could list but I do not remember them off the top of my head since I haven't had opera installed in a bit. Yes, LP/RF work, but Opera continues to experience issues compatibility problems with many pages. They still have the mindset that website developers are out to get them, when in reality, I think Opera should make their browser work like every other browser does in regards to rendering.

-Josh (May 07, 2012, 08:35 AM)

I do agree, that with a few simple steps, Opera could get a massive following.  They seem to focus too much on their Mobile browser, and very few people know that it even exists for the PC (Most people I know assume its just 'Another Android App') - I can understand somewhat, basically because I don't recall EVER seeing an advertisement for Opera, ANYWHERE...Please correct me if you have

Not to continue to sidetrack your topic, however, Opera still has MANY issues with many common sites. Ever tried using google plus in opera? What about facebook? Both of these work perfectly in IE, FF and chrome, heck even safari. Opera.....is the anti-mac in that it doesn't "just work" ;-) And with that, I will stop hijacking your thread unless you want to spin it off to another topic Sorry!

-Josh (May 07, 2012, 08:10 AM)

Heh, I dont mind the spin-off as it is somewhat on topic (Due to this being an Opera feature)

I Don't understand what you mean about G+ or Facebook though, Facebook works perfectly for me, always has...couldn't say about G+, but my mrs said shes never encountered any issues with it. - The only site I can't use Opera with, is Netflix (Not actually sure why...they seem to have unlocked it for Opera, but the videos still won't load for me - Never thought to check with Opera 12...seems to be working fine...and actually loaded the video MUCH faster than FireFox) - I know I rant on about Opera, and its not because I am a 'fanboi'...It is purely because I truly do love the Interface, and the features (Even more so since we got Extensions)!

-Josh (May 07, 2012, 07:58 AM)

Like I said...Only logical people use it  - I seem to remember you saying, the only reason you wouldn't stick with Opera, is due to the lack of RoboForm, LastPass, & AdBlock Plus..... > All of which are now available - When Opera 12 is fully released (Not a 'Preview' build) I can see those numbers shooting up...

Opera has SOOO much more going for it than Firefox (Chrome isn't a real browser IMHO...it just dies too often to be of any use, and IE...well...need I say more about that?) and now with the addition of extensions, it shouldn't take long before more people jump on-board

If Hashing is supposedly 'One Way Encryption'...

How the HELL does your machine know how to interpret the information it has been given? - Surely your computer is somehow decrypting the information in order to do what it needs to?

Love your pets like they love you, and never dismiss them as "Just an animal" ... They are part of our families and part of our lives...and if you have committed to getting a pet, you should treat them as good as you would a child.

If we do get space, i dont know how to access it. I cant find anything in my profile settings. I guess i could just keep updating here, but i just need to keep track of what thread i posted on to update that file each time. I should really build in an update function into my software.

-c.gingerich (May 04, 2012, 07:51 PM)

You could use DC's very own "DCUpdater" for that

DcUpdater is a general purpose update checker that can check for updates for multiple programs and help the user download and install them. For programmers, it's an easy and free way to to add update checking support to your programs.

That is just ... epic. Will it make the next newsletter? 

-TaoPhoenix (May 04, 2012, 08:28 AM)

lol which version did you prefer?


Anybody else wrote any stories about Cody? - Would love to read them!

-Stephen66515 (May 04, 2012, 08:29 AM)

I'll savor both versions more over the weekend!

However, I have not written any stories about Cody because I don't yet see the License To Make Derivative Works from Mouser!

(And yes, this really is how bad these laws are trying to make the Copyright situation, and No, there is no such thing as "between friends" anymore!       )

-TaoPhoenix (May 04, 2012, 08:55 AM)

Cody and Mouser are both DonationCoder names.  All official DonationCoder related things are DonationWare.  If you have donated to the site, you are free to contribute (but not profit from) all its glory.

Something like that might work
