I think he said 3, pointing towards the Ask boxes, not the ones asking you if you wanna run the software when the installation ends, and do u want extra codecs lol-Stephen66515 (November 07, 2010, 12:16 PM)
However, Curt might be onto something - maybe NOT clearing the "Run FormatFactory" button causes the program to launch and load the toolbar?-Darwin (November 07, 2010, 02:24 PM)

I suspect it's like learning a spoken language, in that if you don't immerse yourself, the concepts don't stick.-mouser (October 31, 2010, 08:09 PM)
Hi,
Just signed up here. Looks like a friendly and useful place too.
Background - well, spent 20 yrs in IT designing, building etc. latter part on as/400 stuff.
Left It 10 yrs ago, did some other stuff and found myselfbeing drawn into web development.
Currently working for a charity but still building sites - mostly, but not all - in wordpress.-mark1959 (October 24, 2010, 03:12 AM)
Just clarify this a bit - Limewire is a P2P program AFAIK, not a network. It uses the gnutella, (and BitTorrent), network for information dissemination/retrieval.
The gnutella/BitTorrent networks will still continue to be used, there are other P2P programs that use the same networks, (eg. Cabos, FrostWire, Shareaza).I agree that Lime wire had a lot of viruses, garbage, etc., but with some worthwhile downloads. I also know that our legal system is based on case law, which gives heavy emphasis on past judicial opinions/rulings. This is a chilling ruling.-complearning123 (October 28, 2010, 03:15 PM)
It's already been done before - think Napster.That to me is tantamount to closing all banks and punishing all customers because some customers are using that institution to illegally launder money from illegal ventures/activities.
No it isn't, the correct analogy would be if they closed all banks in one town, (or even a state), because one bank was laundering money. Yes, it's inconvenient for the townspeople but it doesn't stop them from getting their money from the banking network.
They made the injunction against Limewire because its use was predominantly synonymous with pirating. As soon as some other program is stupid enough to do the same thing and they're within the grasp of the RIAA/MPAA then it'll happen again.-4wd (October 28, 2010, 04:30 PM)
Stephen, if one case shuts down a service which, while not ADVERTISED to support piracy but information is found which demonstrates the service is intended to be used for such or that over half of the users are using it for such activities, then this could be groundbreaking. Other services would not stand a chance once a case has been won.-Josh (October 28, 2010, 02:25 PM)

The fact the RIAA has won 1 case doesnt say much

Actually, it does, and it's one thing that people seem to ignore/be ignorant of. A long view approach to such things is to build up a mountain of prior rulings. In judicial environments, prior rulings hold a *lot* of weight, making your case stronger/eroding your opponent's position. Any defeats/successes are relevant to the larger picture going forward.-wraith808 (October 28, 2010, 10:49 AM)
Sad to see limewire going down.-mahesh2k (October 28, 2010, 10:10 AM)
File-sharing program LimeWire has been permanently shut down after a federal judge found it guilty of assisting users in committing copyright infringement "on a massive scale."
Hmmm... I wonder what this means for the bittorrent protocol.-Renegade (October 27, 2010, 07:25 PM)
So, how about using Diasporaw as the base?-Lashiec (October 23, 2010, 08:39 PM)
