Post New Requests Here / Clipboard to text file

« Last post by rgdot on October 25, 2016, 04:09 PM »

This I guess is not a request but a noob question 

Running AHK, compiled a exe, what is missing from

#Persistent
OnClipboardChange:
FileAppend, %clipboard%, ‪C:\Users\RG\Desktop\clip1.txt
return

to keep all copied text in the text file?

Thanks wraith. Even in 2016 I find it  to be too much, too frequent. Assuming it is bugs or security, because it is surely not new features this often, how many bugs (that I almost never notice anyhow) or security issues can apps really have and even then how are they really fixing them so frequently. Very odd, to me any way. The play store's what's new notes are often unhelpful too.

Not completely off topic, may be I can ask what may seem like a redundant question here

The frequency of app updates is crazy, so much so I often feel I am accidentally on some global alpha testing list (which of course does not exist). I supposed I can disable updates but I want to ask if this is just an obvious, no kidding thing everybody is used to?

Don't have that many apps, see spoiler below for my list if you wish, but I am talking about any app like twitter having two plus updates a month for example.

Spoiler

Alarm Clock Xtreme
Authenticator
Chrome
Dropbox
EBookDroid
ES File Explorer Pro
FIFA
Fing
FootballItalia
Italian Soccer
Livescore
Pimlical
Star Chart
Tapatalk
Twitter
Yahoo Weather
Wifi Analyzer

Nexus phone (so no bloated carrier apps ...)

Found Deals and Discounts / Re: TreeProjects 40% off

« Last post by rgdot on October 10, 2016, 09:48 AM »

Started this thread way back and was/is a fan, it didn't receive updates for a long time and now it has become free.

The world of software was quite different back then in 2011, when I released the first versions of TreeProjects (and much more so in 2009, when I started working on it). And it is a very good thing! The age of desktop domination has ended; ubiquitous cloud storage and synchronization emerged, and it is the norm for software solutions to be cross-platform and cross-device. This is something I myself expect when considering a piece of software or a service.

TreeProjects did not evolve to become such a server-based, cross-platform solution – it remains an old school Windows desktop program. And it is unlikely that it will ever change. TreeProjects is still an essential tool for me – I have been using it since the very first release. I know for a fact that it has been as useful to the people who have become customers, and whom I deeply thank. The program wouldn’t have become what it is without their support.

However, in these days of rightfully increased expectations, and in hopes that this will make the world better, I have made TreeProjects available free of charge. An option to purchase a license is still available for those who’d like to buy me a lunch!

Look at this way, if I post a question on DC, if unclear or poorly formatted mouser is not editing it. There is no reason he should. SE, SO are not doing anything better or revolutionary by doing it, peer reviewed or otherwise.

The 'funniest' thing abut SO type sites is the ability of some to edit your question. Unless all those editors have super powers to clarify my dumb way of asking then sorry No. Yes I know some of the edits are for formatting but still that editing power is pointless at best imo.

The middle class discussion and how it is being decimated is exactly due to problems created by those mentioned in the so called biased posts. If people choose to ignore one of the main reasons for the problems brought up by OP then it is little surprise we are at this point.

Yes, basement   

@Shades and everybody
The problem is not being pro government action or not. It's the atmosphere and there is no doubt in my mind that the right wing is more guilty in creating the toxic atmosphere.
I was just reading this for example, and had to double check to make sure it is not an April Fools thing:

Congressman Don Young (R-AK):
Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton will seek to have the government “control everything you do.”
Everything? Yes, everything. Young goes on to earnestly explain that Sanders or Clinton would mandate “when to get up, what to eat, what you are thinking, what school you are going to go to and what you are going to believe.”

Not only this guy exists but he is an elected official.

Someone who openly mentions/mentioned 'socialism' winning the US presidency? Pigs will fly before that.

-rgdot (April 01, 2016, 07:37 PM)

I wonder how many pigs flew before someone black won US presidency? Or will fly before 2017 when someone without a penis will be elected if people don't get over their 'socialism' obsession? Times change.

-eleman (April 02, 2016, 12:15 AM)

Obama was/is a minority person, socialism is an idea.
Any way my point was a republican ad campaign portraying Sanders as one who will increase taxes (and for once they won't be outright lying) will work and you will be surprised how fast it works. If things like Kerry/swiftboat worked this will too, no matter the times. If anything it has an even better chance to work than years ago.

Someone who openly mentions/mentioned 'socialism' winning the US presidency? Pigs will fly before that. Enthusiasm (and let's face it, it is that) during the primaries has zero chance of translating to general election votes for someone who has 'wealth Inequality' as the first issue on his site, and others like 'living wage' too. If the republicans had any sane candidates Sanders' and Clinton's chances would be less than zero. As it stands Sanders' is just zero.

It is going to be on BdJ again soon. Looking at its new version 2 there is lots to like. Might go for it this time.

I often read outlinersoftware but never registered ... not sure if Andy, the Hyperplan developer, let out a secret or not but there he says BdJ take a 50% commission... wow (wow in my opinion at least)

Well the delivery of malware is by and large a Linux issue, now of course the user executes it on his/her local Windows machine but still.

How many percent of infected sites that spread malware are on Linux servers? Not far from 100%.
