Found Deals and Discounts / Re: WinRAR: 1/3 off

« Last post by Curt on December 05, 2016, 04:35 PM »

in Denmark:
€20.96 = $24.36 + VAT = $30.45 against
€16.81 = $19.53 + VAT = $24.41

Normal price $34.80 + VAT

it seems like this is calculated depending on where you are located.

The Seagulls was wonderful as animation, but didn't work for me when converted to mp3. So I agree with Deozaan that the bad lip reading belongs here more than in the music video thread.

General Software Discussion / Re: Affinity (Serif) goes head to head with Photoshop & (maybe) Illustrator

« Last post by Curt on November 14, 2016, 02:56 AM »

life would be easier if you all were inside my head so you better would understand what I said and what I forgot to mention...

Anyway, my reason for not being too detailed is that I lost my 64 bit tower after I had signed up for the Affinity project. Now I merely have a 32 bit laptop, so I never went any further than the "welcome"-page where I was reminded of the "64 bit only".

The screenshot was not from the email but the said welcome page. You must sign up (again) and give your email address, before they'll mail you the download link.

At $80 SoftMaker FlexiPDF's price might seem quite a better price than the original's. However, this may include less features - the use of TransPDF.com is certainly one - but I have not studied the text, to figure out exactly what is different. Maybe one should just write and ask them...

Well, I am pleased SoftMaker has taken up this little gem; I see this as a promise it won't be obsolete in the near future.

General Software Discussion / Re: Need software to resolve RFI issue

« Last post by Curt on November 09, 2016, 03:59 AM »

oh, I'm sorry I wasn't clear. My reaction was to the first two answers; I felt they read something entirely different into my first post, than what I was trying to say. As if I was trying to ban radios or something. AND I don't understand why the OP automatically thought the problem was a radio amateur, the problem may easily have been caused by heavy machinery on a plant instead.

What is being insinuated? The subject of this thread is RFI issues, right? RFI issues are potential dangerous! I quote: "output signal that is screwing with everything wireless in my world. My garage door opener, the wireless alarm fob for my bike, my wireless network, etc" (or hospital equipment or fly-by-wire missiles, etcetera) which is why we have regulations for controlling RF. We have it all over Europe, I know they have it in California. I am certain they have it in Florida as well. The rules have clearly not been followed, otherwise this thread would not have been started. Complain to the proper office!

contact the proper authority and complain; Radio frequencies are potential dangerous and must be controlled accordingly.

I wanted to direct panzer to a thread about Chrome extensions, but I couldn't find one. Maybe I just used the wrong terms for searching? Hmm... do "you" ("anyone") know of a "Chrome addons"-thread in our forum? I can't ask the moderator to move these Chrome related posts, if there is no thread to move them to! Or maybe it's time to launch a new thread, Fav Extensions for Chrome, or something?
