well it's nice to hear you discovered theproblem. sounds like solution is to uninstall avast?Or at least disable it while doing the initial import of your mails.-mouser (June 02, 2009, 05:05 AM)
I can't help you with the chkdsk /r bug, but with World of Goo make sure you are using the latest version. There was a resolution bug with some of the earlier versions of that game.Oh, there have been updates? I remember trying to look for updates some months back, but couldn't find any on their site... guess I'll give it another go, thanks
Of course, if you are using the latest version then I guess they didn't fully fix the bug.-Innuendo (May 31, 2009, 11:00 AM)
gothic and i are sitting here experimenting with blocking access to the forum with old SESSIONID info in urls.Sounds like a good move - I assume this is to make jacking somebody else sessions harder?
please let me know if anyone gets errors explicitly about this while they are surfing the site.-mouser (May 31, 2009, 03:24 AM)
1. most forum software searches completely and silently ignore search terms that are 3 characters or less. Quite often this means I can't search for what I need (there are a lot of terms that are 3 characters, but are not necessarily 'cut words' like "the" or "are"). But for chrissake, tell me if you're ignoring something in my search terms - especially if it's the only thing in the search!Amen!
2. support forums that don't let you search unless you've registered. If I'm evaluating a product or just want to see if there's a solution to a particular problem, I don't want to have to jump through the hoops of registering for a forum I'll probably never want to make a post in.-mwb1100 (May 30, 2009, 12:52 PM)
Thanks, all,for the feedback. I would still think that the need for a text editor to handle humongous files would be rare but I'm sure it's a lifesaver when you do need it. I probably haven't even read 100,000+ pages of text in my entire lifetime let alone having read that much in a single text file.Yeah, there's a few situations where it might come in handy. I don't mind my day-to-day editor not handling huge files very well, if it does everything else I need nicely... I can always bring out a heavy-duty (but probably simpler) editor from the arsenal for special jobs-tide (May 28, 2009, 01:22 PM)

I haven't had a problem with it on huge files- again, they aren't major changes I'm making... so I'm not sure if that's why it works for me.Interesting - there's quite a lot of posts on the forums about problems opening large files, and I've had it crash on me as well when testing. Perhaps it's mostly related to files that have syntax highlight activated? *shrug*-wraith808 (May 28, 2009, 09:27 AM)
You guys put System Of A Down, Marylin Manson and Nine Inch Nails in a metal play list?Well, System Of A Down is nu-metal, so it sorta qualifies... and if you put oldsk00l snobbery aside, they've actually made a couple of OK tracks. I wouldn't call anything Manson has made metal (portrait of an american family is more punkish than it's metal), but imho a lot of his tracks fit decently in a metal playlist (if you're not going for purist-rgdot (May 27, 2009, 10:46 AM)
). As for NIN, well, Reznor has varied his style quite a bit across his albums. Broken fits perfectly in an aggressive metal playlist.
Really, I don't see the point unless you want notifications, which I find very distracting & annoying.I kind like them since I follow a bunch of forums. If I need to do serious and über-concentrated work (like, being close to a project deadline) I shut down my mail client and instant-messenger stuff though. But for regular work and computer use, I don't get distracted much by IM or mail notifications.-SKesselman (May 27, 2009, 04:37 AM)
Dunno. As soon as I receive new mail, Miranda notifies me of it. In the case of Yahoo, the system is a bit flaky (so it could notify you the next day), and GMail is supposed to check every 30 minutes.But Miranda interacts with your POP3 or IMAP account, yes? Then it has to check for mail every "X" minutes-Lashiec (May 26, 2009, 07:29 AM)
And what if she/he wasnt a spammer, or probing for vulnerabilities, and you scared him/her away?-iphigenie (May 26, 2009, 02:42 AM)
