it already does say that
but you could change

[Select]

(Lower(ClipText) LIKE '%http%') OR (Lower(ClipText) LIKE '%www.%')

to

[Select]

(Lower(ClipText) LIKE '%http://%')

that will probably reduce the false positives.

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: I can't figure some things out in this program

« Last post by mouser on October 19, 2006, 11:21 PM »

well the problem with it now is the it doesnt proper "separate" favorites from history, and just mixes them in.
i think it would be better to have a separator with favorite and recent clips segregated, and the option to have favorites in a submenus.

i think im almost ready to do another round of work on chs; a main thing i want to do is better display of favorites and stuff in the quick paste and some general fixes. i'm definitely willing to add some more stuff to make it easier to paste stuff like you say. 

i would appreciate anyone posting a list of top features they want added.

General Software Discussion / Physics Games Website

« Last post by mouser on October 19, 2006, 08:46 PM »

Cool site for those who like games with realistic physics.

As a player I always wanted there to be a website that tracks physics-based games and highlights the best of them. Many of these titles remain obscure; I’m always discovering new, addictive games. Well, I grew tired of waiting for that website to appear and decided to start it up myself. I’m in this for the long haul. This page will become the definitive source for physics games information. I hope you enjoy your stay!

great -
it might be that the new version messed up your directory because the new version has code to be smarter about screenshot directory and letting you customize where options are stored.

it might be worth reminding people that here we expect members to donate to each other when they appreciate someone's useful posts.

you can donate as little as 1 penny to someone, and there is no transaction cost, so please be generous with your donation credits and if you see someone posting stuff you like or helping you or helping others, or making you laugh, etc., send them a few credits to say thanks.

yep you have it right app.

this is almost certainly ONLY used by people whose motivation is to generate content to generate advertising money.

people who want an active useful community wouldn't use such a service.  people who have researched what topics bring the best ad money and search engine optimization tricks would use this to bring in traffic to get high paying ad clicks.  it's kind of sad what advertising is doing to the web..

having said that, i can imagine some cases where a forum might benefit from having some knowledgable people who were paid to help out around the forum.  you could imagine tech help forums like that.  i have nothing against sites that make money paying people whose job it is to help out around the forum.  but one would have to be very up front about that if you wanted to do that, and it really could put a sour mood across the forum and make the entire thing into a mercenary operation - who is going to want to be the sucker helping people and not getting paid for their posts.. just seems shady and seedy and not conducive to a good forum.  but then again if your goal is to just build stuff that google will send people to so that you get clicks on your ads, you really dont care do you..
