General Software Discussion / J. River Media Center: Awesome for music, great for video, and good for pics
« Last post by KenR on April 02, 2007, 02:07 PM »
J. River Media Center is the best media player I have ever found. It has more features and customizations than any other program I've seen. It lets you rip, burn, and transfer audio and video to your portable player. It has a script language for customizing and you can create smart and regular play lists. You can listen to internet radio while you use it to view your pictures. All this and I have only scratched the surface. Download a copy and see what you think. If you know something better, let us know.

Organize and experience all your media
Music, photos and video YOUR way -- all from a single software program! Connect your PC to your home entertainment hardware and control it all with a remote! Load your music on your iPod while you watch TV! All with one easy-to-use program -- MEDIA CENTER!
Make your media part of your digital lifestyle
Copy music from MEDIA CENTER to a portable digital audio player or move digital camera photos into MC's powerful image library. Make a CD of music for your car. Record your favorite shows and watch them on your TV. More than one soundcard? Play different music simultaneously in different rooms. MC's Media Server can even stream your music to your PC at work!...

It will be interesting to see if FSL ever finishes his freeware...
-rjbull (April 01, 2007, 02:59 PM)

Yeah, I agree. When I looked at that one, it seemed to me that one way for someone to make extra money in a situation like that might be to keep it in development, motivating people to pay by giving them special access to the otherwise unavailable software. Of course, I have no way of knowing whether that is going on here.

Hmmm, interesting question rjbull. I'll tell you what, you take a look at Link Commander and then tell me if you think there's any need for a comparative review. I looked at all the programs and I thought it blew the others away.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH to Mouser for raising this topic and to everyone who contributed a bookmark manager they thought was the best. I've been looking for one for a while. I have downloaded all mentioned and will try each one. I'm sure that one of these will be great for me and you will have saved me many hours of searching and testing!

Gratefully,

Developer's Corner / Hacknot on dynamic languages
« Last post by KenR on March 29, 2007, 02:14 PM »
Here's a lengthy, thought-provoking article questioning the hype around dynamic languages like ruby.

Such were my thoughts upon reading a piece in the February 2007 edition of IEEE Computer entitled "Programmers Shift to Dynamic Languages"1 by one Linda Dailey Paulson. The article's basic premise is that dynamic languages (DLs) are experiencing something of a renaissance at the moment. Even though DLs such as Perl and PHP have been around for many years, with the recent advent of Ruby, DLs have become the hot new thing.

Living Room / Review of DVR set tops: TiVo vs MythTV (homebrew alternative)
« Last post by KenR on March 28, 2007, 03:11 PM »
Can anyone imagine why the following brought a boxing match to mind: "...Battle of Open Source and Proprietary DVRs..."

...MythTV is an open source homebrew DVR software solution that works on a computer running Mac OS X or Linux. MythTV provides the usual functionality of a DVR including time-shifting and trick functionality while watching TV. In addition to storing TV shows on the computer’s hard drive, MythTV’s suite of applications allow you to build a “mythical home media convergence box”...

Here's a very nice comparison of 3d "Box Shot" software packages

Developer's Corner / Game contest prize increased to $10,000
« Last post by KenR on March 26, 2007, 07:40 PM »
The original notification was at: http://www.garagegam...om/blogs/62635/12479, where you can review the original rules and then the updates in the current post.

Updates:
We've raised the bar with an additional sponsor, and the grand prize is now $10,000.
The contest entry date has also been moved to 4/1/2007. An odd day for a beginning, but it's no April Fool's.
NDAs will be signed by required parties to protect your intellectual property.
"Some people do not suffer fools gladly".
Also, a clarification that the contest will allow games built using (as a base) Torque game engines (TGE, TGB, TGEA, TorqueX) and the use of content packs is allowed, indeed encouraged as they significantly reduce development time. Products like ArcaneFX, Gryphon (previously known as MMO Enhancement Kit)/MMOKIT, and Titas will also greatly reduce the coding burden.
We will be hopefully announcing some new products by Dream Games soon which will also jumpstart your game development in a big big way!...

From food, to cell phones, to computers, what are the consequences and what will be next?

...Several research reports, both recently published and not yet published, provide evidence of the limits of multitasking. The findings, according to neuroscientists, psychologists and management professors, suggest that many people would be wise to curb their multitasking behavior when working in an office, studying or driving a car...

My personal favorite unique feature is the ability to save startup configurations. Then, you just load which ever configuration you want, apply it, and your set.

Hello everyone I am a new member to this site  so excuse me if I am wrong posting this in here I am looking for a good startup manager I have tried a few but a lot of them are a bit beyond me i need an easy one to use thanks in advance
-chinablue32uk (March 25, 2007, 06:57 AM)

Chameleon Startup Manager is the best I have found. It has features none of the others do. It is on special here on DC for 40% off until the end of the month. I bought it full price and it was well worth the cost. Also, Evgeni, the developer is a really nice guy and is very responsive to issues (problems and requests).

One of the fun fringe benefits of working on the technology team at MSNBC.com is the occasional opportunity to submit an article for consideration on the editorial side, which is how this one happened: Long Road to Recovery Ahead for Bears Fans.

General Software Discussion / LetMeType: Freeware text
« Last post by KenR on March 23, 2007, 05:13 AM »
Here is a freeware program to pop up commonly used words while you type in any program.

Like Microsoft's AutoComplete, LetMeType helps you enter text, but regardless of the program you use. Running in the background, it analyses what you type. After some time it has collected enough information to guess a word after you have typed the first two or three letters. A list of the most probable words is displayed, and you can select one with a single keystroke or just continue typing.
