General Software Discussion / Re: Converting DRM protected music files: software recommendations

« Last post by jgpaiva on July 24, 2007, 10:31 AM »

Another very used method would be to burn a cd with the musics, and then rip them back.
(notice that you don't actually have to burn a cd, you can only make an iso, then mount it on a virtual drive).

Living Room / Re: Request for AHK help...I feel so dumb...

« Last post by jgpaiva on July 24, 2007, 09:40 AM »

You're right, absterix.. I hadn't noticed there were no variables to store the information.
All there needs to be done is to add something like vNAMEOFVARIABLE to the gui,add,edit lines.
Something like this:

[Select]

Gui, Add, Edit, r5 vfirstvariable

And the text will be stored in a variable named "firstvariable". Also, use a different variable for each editbox, or you will end up with only the text of one of them.

Add this to the end of your script:

[Select]

F2::
  sendraw,%v12%
  return

That should send the text that is on variable V12. Also, i've used "sendraw" because "send" doesn't send the text, sends keystrokes. This means that something like: !r would actually be sent as alt+R.

don't bother trying to calculate most expensive country to ship to as i just slap on random air mail postage stamps and post office doesn't seem to care

Second caveat: if someone would choose a foreign country like Nepal, it'd probably make us happy for knowing that someone in such a country liked us enought to go through the enormous effort of donating

@ak_: IIRC, the numbers don't launch results in aliases, because of fcalc. If they did, fcalc wouldn't work. Not sure if this this, though.

General Software Discussion / Re: Double Right Click Start Menu

« Last post by jgpaiva on July 23, 2007, 05:50 PM »

Here's a "proof of concept" of how it can be done in autohotkey:

code inside

[Select]

flag := false

RButton::
  if flag
  {
    send,{lwin down}{lwin up}
    settimer, click, off
    flag := false
  }
  else
  {
    flag := true
    settimer, click, 200
  }
  return

click:
  send,{rbutton}
  flag := false
  settimer,click, off
  return

It isn't perfect, and it will break any kind of mouse gestures you have on your OS or webbrowser, but it does work. (adding it the part about moving the StartMenu to the mouse is quite simple)

Sorry jOc, but i don't understand what you mean. Why did you take so much time to remove them?
You could only disable each of them (and they are only 10 or something) by clicking the box highlighted in the next image:

whatever, i would assume there'll be some funky ways of using virtual operating systems by then so things might be a bit blurry.

-nudone (July 23, 2007, 02:35 PM)

I have the same opinion.
I think that if more virtualization apps and cross-platform stuff come up, i'll be keeping XP for a long time, running linux on a VM... Or the other way around. Or something in between

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: NirCmd Setup, a guide of sorts

« Last post by jgpaiva on July 23, 2007, 01:16 PM »

Actually, that's related to the way the alias is made.
Any of those entries works like that, because now you can just type "standby" to standby the computer, the "cmd" alias is only there to serve as a list in case you forget the name of the other entries.

Google Image Labeler is based in part on technology licensed from and developed at Carnegie Mellon University.

General Software Discussion / Google Image labeler: google's way of indexing images' content

« Last post by jgpaiva on July 23, 2007, 07:08 AM »

Google Image Labeler is a new feature of Google Image Search that allows you to label random images and help improve the quality of Google's image search results.

Each user who wants to participate will be paired randomly with a partner who's currently online and also using Google Image Labeler. Over a 90-second period, both participants will be shown the same set of images and asked to label each image based on what they see. They'll also be shown words that can't be used as labels. Both participants can add as many labels as they want until one of them matches a partner's label. After there's a match, they'll see a new image and continue the cycle, until time runs out. Contributors will also see points they've earned throughout the session.

-http://images.google.com/imagelabeler/help.html

Now isn't that smart?
Google has transformed a tedious (and payed) job into a game for the masses. Although there are points involved, there's no prize or anything:

What are these points for? Can I redeem them for anything?

They're intended to help identify contributions from participants. But they're not redeemable.

Well... There goes ditto

Thanks a lot, ham!

PS: i agree with ak_, a "paste clip on selection" option would be useful
PS2: to follow the other plugins, i think you should zip a folder with klipkeeper's contents inside, so that it's easier to install

Announce Your Software/Service/Product / Re: Income 4 Dummies

« Last post by jgpaiva on July 22, 2007, 02:32 PM »

IQLover: I usually get a bunch of mails in my e-mail selling me a bunch of stuff like viagra, other meds, stocks, etc. Those end up in the "spam" folder, because it's not-requested-for advertisement.
This is exactly the same case. Truth is, that the ebook is only a 21-page e-book, which has about 2 pages of real content and ends with "the product", which actually is a numerous collection of books for you to buy.

This is actually worse than posting that collection of books here, since you're making money for advertising them, money which you wouldn't get if you advertised the books directly.

The link does include a referral. (http://www.income4du...m/index.php?uid=1414).
Also, it's a scam. And an advertisement.

IMO, this thread should be deleted.

« Last post by jgpaiva on July 22, 2007, 05:52 AM »

Interesting... I had never seen this. The problem must be in the screen capture program, that doesn't accept simulated keystrokes (which is which ahk send).

I've tested this with other apps that support custom hotkeys and had no problem.

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: drag window to edge automatically resizes it

« Last post by jgpaiva on July 21, 2007, 12:14 PM »

And yet another update.
I added the feature you asked for, afm. (sorry for taking so much time!!)

Just download the latest version and run it once. Your ini will be updated, then, edit it (GridMove.ini), and insert a bigger value for "TitleLeft", under "Program Settings". Then, reload GridMove and you're set to go.

I didn't add this as an option as i think it's more of a tweak.

AltGR would be the right-alt. I was asking because altgr isn't really alt, it's alt+ctrl.
Ok, i'll try it too.

Found the problem about the help file missing, it has to do with the working folder. If you launch it with farr, for example, you get that error. It also happens when you launch through a shortcut in which the working folder isn't gridmove's folder.

Now (trying to) fixing it.

What version do you have? The latest one, with the installer?

I've tested it here and can't reproduce it
Have you launched it the same way both times? (i mean launching it from a shortcut or by the executable)

Are you sure that you're not using altgr+shift+3 in the program?

(i can't test it, because i have no program that uses alt+shift+3 as a keystroke)

As for adding backgound to folders, you can do that in windows also. And it's quite easy, just can't recall how to do it right now.

As for the other part, that's called icon overlays.Here's an example of a thread discussing a program that does just that in windows
