... those guys who like to have 64 windows open and Firefox with 24 tabs, will still find use for 16 GB.

My HTML coding skills are roughly zero

-brotherS (August 19, 2015, 06:32 AM)

you're kind of in trouble here -
I'd look for a template - or do a mock up in some graphics programme, and see if anyone can suggest a template.

Otherwise there's the WYSIWYG option, which doesnt seem to get positive responses in general... (see Miles's comments re 'quicky tools' above)

I'd love to have buttons that reveal/hide additional content when clicked

-brotherS (August 19, 2015, 06:32 AM)

could you be more specific there? (or maybe a link to a site that already does something similar?)

General Software Discussion / Re: LastPass alternatives? (including premium LP)

« Last post by tomos on August 19, 2015, 03:49 AM »

summary:
with google authenticator required for logging in to Lastpass, I'm often able to bypass using it, when logging into certain sites (Ebay, google).

Say I'm trying to login to google: I click the little symbol in the name field and the Lastpass window pops up.
I fill in my Lastpass password and (in this browser at any rate) a new tab opens requesting the verification code.

-tomos (July 20, 2015, 11:59 AM)

^ that was in Iron portable. I have been able though to reproduce this in Firefox and PaleMoon.
Basically, with google Authenticator required for Laspass:

• open your login page
• click on the little symbol in one of the fields - that will open Lastpass dialogue
• type in your Lastpass password
• google Authenticator dialogue opens - in the back, *sometimes* the login details including password will be filled in already
• close google Authenticator dialogue - Lastpass is not logged in, yet you have gotten logged into your site without filling in google Authenticator

The above flaw has worked for me with gmail and Ebay. Not with dc oddly ;-)

It's possible this is not a problem with Lastpass, but rather with the browser cookie settings. Or the site's cookies.
I was always amazed, that I could just type 'inbox' in the addressbar, select my gmail inbox link - and it would load without requiring a login, no matter what my login settings were for google. This was a problem with (default) cookie settings - but I would still hold google at fault for not changing things from their end.


I cant even find cookie settings in FF 39 :-/

that one blocked here (most of those you posted are blocked :-/)
but I found this one:
Pharoah Sanders - Heart Is a Melody (full album)

I'm stuck on the first track (Olé), I just love the groove he gets into - that lovely repetitive rolling melody (riff?), with the sax going wild on top ...
sounds very risqué, doesn't it
it's brilliant

Just listening to the original from Coltrane - it's very different.

This programme seems to be continually updated
Paid upgrade seems to be only every few years (if you own 2011 version it is still a free upgrade to 2015 version).

2015 version (including updates - "for noncommercial use") currently on offer for $14.99 this week via SharewareOnSale.

Right now it's like I can't even get 200 pages out of my Brother printer even with a 500 page Black cartridge because it rips through the color ones like the first part of the Epson article.

-TaoPhoenix (August 15, 2015, 06:13 AM)

some older HP printers allow continued use when the colour cartridges are removed. I know one personally...
It's possible the printheads are on the ink cartridges on that model -
must check next time I'm visiting

General Software Discussion / Re: So, what pdf reader app is your fav?

« Last post by tomos on August 14, 2015, 03:15 PM »

Isn't 9 EoL, or do you still get security updates for it?

-Stoic Joker (April 10, 2015, 07:02 AM)

Not sure. I've got 9.5.5 now. Haven't paid for any new versions. And I rarely download PDF files. I *always* check the source.

-Renegade (April 10, 2015, 12:10 PM)

I have a strong aversion to Adobe- mostly because I have to develop for it, and doing that let's you know what kind of arsehats they are.

-wraith808 (August 14, 2015, 02:11 PM)

being a customer helps that way too lol
Saying that, I'm still using the Adobe Reader - also in spite of the invasive bloat. It is getting harder and harder to find how to close some of that 'helpful' stuff, mind you if you root around you'll find various shortcut keys to show a leaner UI.

I'll have to try some of the others again. In the past PDFXchange Viewer had very poor keyboard support - any program that make me use a mouse for actions that I repeatedly do wont last long here, unless there's no alternative. Adobe Reader is still the best in that sense AFAIK.

my point is this:
I believe 'running as administrator' can make a difference - even if you are the administrator.
I may be wrong - but will you please try it - it will either work, or not, and we can then drop it...

Screenshot Captor / Re: Capturing Scrolling Pages

« Last post by tomos on August 13, 2015, 02:17 PM »

In addition, for the first time ever for me, the scroll only contained the browser window, not the Firefox page tabs or command menu etc. above the browser window.  That is what I wanted to achieve but I don't have any idea why it did that this time and not the other times.  Weird.  I'm going to have to experiment with that to see if I can figure out what's going on.

-SuperMan (August 13, 2015, 10:08 AM)

in my manual scroll above, they didnt show - in the past I have gotten them at times, but never really tried to figure it out.
(FWIW, if you have tabs showing at the bottom of the window, they always show in the shot IIRC)

Glad you figured out the red lines

Can someone tell me how to avoid having the red margin and overlap lines appear in my final images?

I'm not sure if that is something I am doing wrong, a bug, or an environment issue on my computer.

-SuperMan (August 12, 2015, 10:13 PM)

any chance of attaching a screenshot?
- and describing process used.
Are the overlap lines red too? (Or are they just overlaps?)

I just tried a partial manual scrolling capture of this page (which I also cropped top and bottom after) -
see attached. I dont have either problem here. [edit] I see too much overlap was stripped out in screenshot already in the first post - I had missed that... [/edit]
