Living Room / Re: The InfoWorld Programming IQ Test

I got an 80 as well (though i didnt get the ruby one wrong, deliberately or otherwise).
It should be noted this is more of a historical quiz with a few stupid questions thrown in for good measure.

ProcessTamer / Re: Enhancement Request - Specify full path to process/binary
« Last post by mouser on July 29, 2008, 06:45 AM »
Hi MM,

I will definitely be adding this feature -- it's probably long overdue.
Right now I've been focusing on one of my other applications (Find and Run Robot), but in the coming weeks I will be updating my others and Process Tamer will get it's time in the sun.

Living Room / Flash Game of the Week - Mr Coo: El Laberinto Esférico
« Last post by mouser on July 29, 2008, 01:07 AM »
StaceyG over at JayIsGames.com points us to a beautifully stylish flash "adventure" game today, called Mr Coo: El Laberinto Esférico.

You might want to click the "English" button at the start if you want to play in English since the native language is Spanish, though in truth the words aren't that important, and you might enjoy not understanding the words.

It's a very simple point and click adventure with no inventory and very few places where you actually choose an action to perform, and there are a few action sequences.

But mostly it's just an incredibly well animated and stylish cartoon mystery.

General Software Discussion / Launchy is now available for Linux (!)
« Last post by mouser on July 28, 2008, 02:17 PM »
This is a pretty big deal.  Launchy is a very popular open source Launcher tool (much like my own FARR: Find And Run Robot).

Lifehacker reports today that Launchy is now available for linux.

Obviously I'm biased for FARR but it's not going to be ported to linux anytime in the forseable future, so for those of you who have been wanting a top-of-the-line launcher for linux you now have one you should be happy with.

It looks like i need to turn off the non-contiguous (fuzzy) matching when an alias is typed, to cut down on garbage results.

jpijper would you like web/ftp space on dcmembers.com? then you could upload your always most recent version there instead of with an attachment?

when it comes to power supplies some are really annoyingly loud -- i wouldnt even think of buying a power supply that wasn't proven and written about how quiet it is.

video cards can be same way -- id search for a model which people have commented about how quiet it is.

newegg has great user reviews and comments and is a wonderful way to find out real opinions about hardware like this.

Find And Run Robot / Re: too many updates !!!
« Last post by mouser on July 28, 2008, 11:45 AM »
i think a good thing to do might be to add tags of major/minor/beta for each update, and let dcupdater be configured to ignore certain tagged updates for each program.

Living Room / Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation Gadgets for Pain Relief?
« Last post by mouser on July 28, 2008, 04:50 AM »
I know there are a few people who frequent DonationCoder who have back and other pain problems.. Saw this today that i thought might be interesting.  Anyone have any experience with similar devices?

TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation, and that’s basically what the device does. It uses a set of electrodes attached to the skin that deliver up to 60 milliamps of current into the nerves where the pain occurs. This jolt serves to disrupt the pain signals coming from those nerves, and instead of hurting, the area ends up feeling tingly or even numb.

The output current can be adjusted, so you really only want to dial in enough juice for the pain to disappear, and it seems to include individual settings for the knees, shoulders, lower back & hips, upper back, and your hands & wrists. Normally I’d raise an eyebrow or 2 at an electronic device that promises relief from pain, but according to Joel Durham Jr. who writes for ExtremeTech, the TENS was quite effective at relieving his own back pain. And while this doesn’t seem like the kind of device you should use without the approval of your doctor, they do appear to be available for sale online to the general public, but expect to pay upwards of $800 if you’re interested.

Find And Run Robot / Re: too many updates !!!
« Last post by mouser on July 28, 2008, 03:03 AM »
I can see how some people might be annoyed by the frequency of the updates!

But as was pointed out, the best solution to that is to turn off automatic update checking and just check manually (or change update check frequency to several days or weeks).

We have too much fun developing software and getting feedback from users to switch to a slower development cycle :)

s.newave, that is already done, almost exactly as you say (except that you only specify one - at the very begining of the string).

Just wanted to point out that you can now specify which file extensions should be found in each configured search directory.  You can also use keyword modifiers to enable and disable these folders on a per-search basis.

you may not want to hear this but at this point, given the age and limited capability of the thing i would just heave it in the trash.
at a certain point even if you got it working i'd never trust it to stay working, and therefore i'd classify it as a risk to my data.

no motherboard beeps or lights to yield any clues?
the yellow light suggests maybe motherboard problem or cpu problem?
