General Software Discussion / Re: copy an eml file from TB to a folder under windows 7

« Last post by tomos on August 14, 2013, 03:54 PM »

Well, it certainly can be done as an add-on. Evernote used have one (maybe still do). I currently use an InfoQube addon to save emails to an InfoQube folder (but it's not customisable, sorry!)

Even apart from the religious example, it's pretty freaky to think they can do that...

Living Room / Re: Internet Speed Test

« Last post by tomos on August 10, 2013, 05:31 PM »

The new speeds I'm paying for are 20Mb down and 1Mb up. But testmy.net frequently tells me I'm getting between 8-13Mb down and about 0.65Mb up. Or in other words, about 50-65% of what I'm paying for.. Yet SpeedTest.net says 19Mb down and 0.8Mb up.

-Deozaan (August 10, 2013, 01:41 AM)

My connection is supposed to be 20mb down and 1mb up.
There is a problem with the cable from the street up to the house so I only get 2mbps down and no idea with up.
Yet, speedtest.net says 19mb down and 0.96 up.

Something is awry :-)

« Last post by tomos on August 10, 2013, 05:27 PM »

There used by an Everything plugin, (Everything is here) but unfortunately the plugin seem to be no longer available.
Someone reuploaded it here but I dont know if it still works or even if it's trustworthy.

Indexing is a possibility for FARR:

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: Removing text format when copying text from CHS into another application

« Last post by tomos on August 07, 2013, 07:00 AM »

CHS always remembers the formatting from the last clip. The only way I know of to strip the formatting, is to copy more text (i.e. after you've copied the text you want) - the text you want to paste will now be in second place in the list - when you paste this it will not be formatted.

That's a messy workaround though - hopefully someone else will have a more graceful method. I know there are formatting presets, but dont know if they can be used to strip formatting (?)

thanks for that.
FWIW I've tried to understand economics - mainly Keynesian vs. Austrian - a little better, but people seem to believe one or that other 100% and that's it. Make's it difficult for the noob ;-) Anyways, looking forward to reading that

(Anyone remember the Volkswagen example? European versions of the exact same model have far higher fuel efficiency, etc.)

-Renegade (August 03, 2013, 09:50 PM)

yes - I remember posting info that repudiates that ;-)
(this for the third time I believe )

-tomos (August 04, 2013, 09:15 AM)

I just checked again for the current Passat. US version at vw.com gets 22 mpg vs the Passat at the German site getting 57.4 mpg.

-Renegade (August 04, 2013, 09:41 AM)

yes, but the reality seems to be different - the Europens getting less than claimed, the US version getting much more - at least is was for the expample given last year (according to the links I gave). I have no idea why this was the case - doesnt make any sense to me, but there you go.

Spoiler

This autocar.co.uk review gives it 800miles to a 70 litre fill which works out at 43 m.p.g. if my maths is correct.

I actually came across this last week somewhere, and just found it again:
Couple gets 84 mpg in Passat diesel on real roads
I think this article is mainly about the fact that if you drive about 55 mph you can save up to 23% fuel. Also here. They do use a different model (6 gears) - but the second link says that the previous record was by the model the guy in the video was talking about...

General Software Discussion / Re: Music player for FLAC files with multiple columns for albums?

« Last post by tomos on August 03, 2013, 01:55 AM »

Directory Opus will play one track (in it's Viewer).
If you select multiple tracks, only the last selected one gets played.

Oups - that's mp3. It doesnt play flac out of the box (probably can be organised, but no good for your requirements anyway).

the bathrooms one is an old story now - not sure if it has been regulated, but there was such a fuss kicked up at the time, that it was dropped. The owner/ceo has the approach that any publicity is good publicity
I'd prefer to not fly with them myself, but they do fly a route that no-one else does that is very convienent for me (flying 'home')... more =>

« Last post by tomos on August 02, 2013, 10:04 AM »

Update from reason.com -
it appears the details were very different:

Yes, the Catalano's Long Island home was searched, but by the Suffolk and Nassau County Police Departments, not the Feds. Yes, the police asked Catalano's husband what he knew about making a pressure cooker bomb, not because the NSA had seen his Google history, but because his ex-employer had.

« Last post by tomos on August 01, 2013, 08:57 AM »

I'm no expert but I think there's room for an easy-to-use software of this kind.
There's Picassa which is okay for beginners but not great imo - often unintuitive.
There's often software comes with cameras. My experiences there havent been great.

Do you reckon is it safe enough to try at this stage - meh, I suppose you do, if you're posting here.
Is there a forum for it?
