NANY 2019?-Stephen66515 (March 22, 2018, 04:40 AM)
Yes. Because it was made too late for NANY 2018. There's been a change, and NANY applies to all projects created during the prior year.-wraith808 (March 22, 2018, 09:30 AM)
Stephen Hawking - who died aged 76 - battled motor neurone disease to become one of the most respected and best-known scientists of his age.
A man of great humour, he became a popular ambassador for science and was always careful to ensure that the general public had ready access to his work.
His book A Brief History of Time became an unlikely best-seller although it is unclear how many people actually managed to get to the end of it.
He appeared in a number of popular TV shows and lent his synthesised voice to various recordings.
Stephen William Hawking was born in Oxford on 8 January 1942. His father, a research biologist, had moved with his mother from London to escape German bombing.
Hawking grew up in London and St Albans and, after gaining a first-class degree in physics from Oxford, went on to Cambridge for postgraduate research in cosmology.

^ the 'emotionally involved' approach is pretty common these days, on the internet at any rate.
FWIW I (and I'm sure a lot of others) also have difficulties being, eh, 'unemotionally' direct -- but my problem is I dont say what I want to say (for whatever reasons**), and then when it does eventually get said, it comes out angry, or upset, instead of straight-forward and direct. Which not good, especially when dealing with people face to face. (But I'm getting better over the years.)
** e.g. think I shouldnt say that, etc.-tomos (February 28, 2018, 10:15 AM)
hmmm,I don't see any reason to be so harsh on them -- it's a short little review with one confusing sentence.-mouser (February 26, 2018, 09:14 PM)
I call a spade a spade. You should know this of me-Stephen66515 (February 26, 2018, 09:16 PM)
a simple bald statement of the problems with the text would have been more in that line.
You got emotionally involved -- and harsh, as mouser says -- that's different from simply telling things how they are.-tomos (February 27, 2018, 05:36 AM)
Agreed. And it has other unintended consequences. It's obvious you are a supporter... what impression does this leave on people about those who support SC and DC? And does it make them less likely to even try in the future. Education and understanding are the approach that I would think does the most good.-wraith808 (February 27, 2018, 09:36 AM)

Short and imperfect ("free" rather than "donationware") comments on the TrishTech blog, concluding:Screenshot Captor is a complete screen capture tool with multi-monitor support. It can capture the screen or part of it using a number of methods. You can also use it to annotate and edit he captures screenshots easily.-rjbull (February 26, 2018, 05:36 PM)
)Even though Screenshot Captor does not come with any of the editing tools of its own, you can configure it to work with any of the other image editors, watermarking tools, batch image resizing tools and so on. Screenshot Captor is available both as a setup installer as well as a portable program.
“Computer technology in plain English”
The fact you keep referring to it as “the Screenshot Captor” rather than just “Screenshot Captor”, and a large amount of spelling/grammatical mistakes absolutely infuriates me.
On another note, you state that Screenshot Captor does not have an editing suite of its own…this is false…had you have opened the software you would have seen that it has an entire suite of editing tools.
One final note: On what planet is this a review? You simply told us (wrongly) what the software is and does…a review would usually contain the “reviewers” opinions on such things…even your conclusion doesn’t contain any such thing…and in fact, the conclusion actually contradicts your suggestion that this software does not have it’s own editing tools.
This is really just a shameful attempt to gain traffic by purporting to have reviewed something popular.
We are going to do a DC fundraiser soon this year, and I'd like to make a page listing ways people can support DC, including supporting the people who help make DC a useful place by sharing their software, time, or expertise, with a list of patreon and paypal links for any friend of DC who makes the site a better place.-mouser (February 20, 2018, 02:44 AM)
The OSNews blog once again brings us a fascinating article on the modern history of user interfaces. This time it's an older essay about the user interface design for Windows 95.However you feel about Windows 95, there's no denying that its user interface is probably one of the most iconic and well-known user interfaces ever designed and developed. Literally everyone knows it and has used it, and it singlehandedly defined what a personal computer's UI should work like. It's incredibly fascinating to read about the thought processes behind its development.

Thanks!The main software itself is not actually currently translatable, although I can have that resolved very easily (and intend to) - I'm focusing on it in a simple basis for now, and will expand to that when polishinggood to know it *can/could* be done-Stephen66515 (February 03, 2018, 11:27 AM)
I could see something like this becoming quite popular.
If I were using something like this, my interest would be more grammar related, rather than vocabulary -- I can still simply fill in the 'native' and/or 'foreign' grammar term (FWIW between deutsch and English, they're mostly based on Latin, so very similar).-tomos (February 03, 2018, 01:03 PM)
@Stephen66515: Re: Looking for Audio Software for "Audio Learning"
Just as a point of information, one could use Microsoft's ON (OneNote) to automatically index/search for recognisable words/phrases (in several different languages) in sound files - i.e., .MP3 and some other audio file formats - and in the audio tracks of some common video formats.I have mentioned in this thread the very useful/clever features of OneNote. Of particular relevance is OneNote's use of audio as a datatype.
If you don't know what the heck I am talking about and if you'd like to find out more, there is a good introduction from PCworld.com - here: How to record audio with OneNote to supercharge your note-taking
EDIT 2017-01-07 0131hrs: See also my notes on page 1 of this discussion thread - Searching for information in audio notes in OneNote.-IainB (December 21, 2016, 12:57 AM)
I have mostly played about with spoken English in audio tracks in sound files in ON and it works amazingly well on search (in Windows Desktop Search and in ON search) - e.g., being able to detect decipherable words phrases, even in musical songs, though it is best in straight voice recording tracks, because there is less "noise" around the spoken words. It tells you at what point (minutes and seconds) the detected words/phrase being searched for are located in the audio file.
I am currently in the process of converting a (rather good) maths course on cassette tapes to .MP3 files, for my daughter's use - putting it into ON as audio files. I am using Audacity for the conversion, as it has the capability to negate/cancel out tape hiss/hum. The (rather old) course employs audio lessons which are to be listened to in conjunction with some (rather good and still current) printed (hardcopy) learning texts on different subjects - e.g., including algebra, geometry, calculus, etc.. The syllabus is relevant to NZ NCEA standards and corresponding Aussie standards. The hardcopy is to be scanned and OCR'd into ON.
So I am to some extent doing something similar - using ON - as to what is being done in this discussion thread - whilst at the same time preserving for posterity an excellent old maths course for use with modern collaborative technology, in my "21st Century Zettelkasten PIM".-IainB (February 03, 2018, 10:41 AM)
Sounds / looks great Stephen,
bonus points for making it translatable!
(although there's so little there in terms of text, that most people would manage it)-tomos (February 03, 2018, 08:11 AM)
