Find And Run Robot / Re: Retain keywords after losing focus
« Last post by mouser on October 04, 2006, 09:39 AM »
just to clarify - what you want is for the break key to not reset the search when used to bring focus back to the window when already on the screen.  in other words you want the break key to behave as if you had just click on the farr window titlebar in this case right?

Living Room / Re: Aghh -- they've done it again ... avoid Agnitum Outpost 4 (at least for now)
« Last post by mouser on October 04, 2006, 09:36 AM »
just a word in support of outpost - v4 actually looks good to me in terms of features; i played with it on a vmware and i will be upgrading once it is stable, so i really do still like it.  but agnitum seems to take a long time to make their new releases stable so i'm waiting until a few rounds of bug fixing before upgrading.

Mouser's Zone / Re: Ideas i want to bounce off you guys
« Last post by mouser on October 04, 2006, 09:31 AM »
Mouser, how about having a separate members area for folks that donate. This could have the special discounts you offer for programs like my Surfulater, instead of these being available to all members. The bottom line is to deliver greater benefits to folks that donate.

as app says, that's how we do it now :)
the discount section:
https://www.donation...index.php?board=85.0

can only be viewed by supporting/honorary members.

Living Room / Re: Buying New PC. Suggestions?
« Last post by mouser on October 04, 2006, 02:23 AM »
i know you are getting contradictory advice here but i would not worry about a dual processor, and not worry about upgrading, and not worry about graphics card being agp or pci-e.

i think you really have to question the idea that you will be upgrading these things- probably you wont.

as for winxp home to pro, ok your explanation makes more sense.  it's probably not such a hassle to upgrade.

DShutdown looks cool, and he has a few more useful programs, all donationware, so send him a donation if you like the software!

How can you resist this kind of call for a donation:

All my programs are completely free, and will always remain free. If you are satisfied with them and want to assist my cat and i, to improve or motivate the development of other quality programs, any donation small or large, will be welcome (and gratefully appreciated!)

« Last post by mouser on October 03, 2006, 08:35 PM »
actually i maintain that review, and you are quite right that autodialogs should be added to it.
looks like i must have overlooked it originally..

doesnt work on my secondary monitor, so dual monitor people should test it out first before buying, but otherwise it looks like a reasonable dialog box extender.

remember that all of skrommel's software come in source code versions (compilable easily with autohotkey), so when in doubt, compile it! :)

but thanks for the report, these false virus reports are always super annoying.

Zaine Ridling (member here at dc) has written another one of his patented low-key software commentaries on his blog:

I bought the 2.0 version of Adobe Photoshope Elements and it was steaming pile then, and it stinks even worse now at version 5. Here’s the quick and dirty before I raced to uninstall it

General Software Discussion / Screensaver Maker Recommendations?
« Last post by mouser on October 03, 2006, 05:30 PM »
I'd like to ask for some recommendations for programs that can be used to make screensavers from your images..
(I want to make some screensavers from nudone's cody pics)

Requirements:
  • It doesnt have to be free, but it cant be over $30 or so.
  • It must support multiple monitors
  • It must be capable of building a nice installer that can be shared with others.

Suggestions?

Developer's Corner / Re: Netflix contest: $1M to developer of best movie recommendation engine
« Last post by mouser on October 03, 2006, 04:13 PM »
interesting blog critisizing the approach:
http://www.feedblog....netflix_ranking.html

If you assume they can get 4x compression out of this dataset you're still looking at 50G which you'll probably have to query at runtime. This probably means a memory based cluster and to do that you'll need at least $15-20k at a minimum to get started.

What Netflix should do is allow teams to pitch them their proposals and fund their research with a winning prize of $1M.

i've become totally disgusted with digg..
there is still great content there but i just cannot get past how much of what we are seeing is the result of a corrupted system that rewards people who game the system behind the scene.

Living Room / The Women Of Star Trek - Feminists!
« Last post by mouser on October 03, 2006, 02:33 PM »
This is brilliant, and great commentary on the strong role of women in star trek.

This page was born because of my righteous anger at Trek "fans" who repeatedly talk about "Playboy Kirk" or the Star Trek "Babes" in an appallingly sexist way. Here's proof that Kirk was NOT a playboy and Star Trek was NOT a sexist show. It was an anti-sexist show: one of the first, and one of the all-time best.

Living Room / Re: Buying New PC. Suggestions?
« Last post by mouser on October 03, 2006, 11:40 AM »
i would not recommend this:

1) you dont need cdrom and dvd drive.  just 1 will do fine.
2) CRT -> i HIGHLY suggest you get an lcd.  i recently moved to lcd and the different is dramatic in terms of desk space, convenience, image quality.

i wouldnt worry about the pci-e but i would absolutely worry about the monitor.

i also would try to decide if you are going to upgrade to xp pro for real, and if so, get a machine which comes with xp pro - you really dont want to have to upgrade it..

this price doesnt seem so great to me, but i don't know these things so it might be.
