Living Room / Re: Amazon closes woman's account and wipes her Kindle
« Last post by tomos on October 22, 2012, 09:11 AM »

It could be a case of mistaken identity (or maybe the woman did do something terrible in Amazon's eyes at some stage). But they really give the impression that they've thrown away the key.

I wonder are they afraid to be specific in their accusation because they would then have the onus of proof.

But the approach is appalling - they dont even give the impression of double checking their 'facts'.

-Edvard (October 20, 2012, 10:57 PM)
thanks Edvard.

Interestingly, that article also says:

The trishul, Jha says, is being appropriated by political Hinduism the same way it claimed the cow as a holy symbol in the 19th century to counter British aggression.

I didnt know that about the 'holy cow'.

Anyways,
probably enough serious talk for a Silly Homour thread ;-)

Living Room / Re: Remember to make full drive image backups
« Last post by tomos on October 20, 2012, 04:32 PM »
I have versioned document backups running in real time, onto a separate hard drive mounted on my pc; I do this to protect myself from accidentally deleted a file i later realize i need, or making changes to a document that i realize i shouldn't have, etc.  This has to run all the time.

Now this dual approach takes care of most of my WORRIES.  However, I have recently forced myself to use an online backup system.

thanks fenix, came across a couple of strange ones there (how about a religion that believes the earth was created by a species of extraterrestrials - their symbol is a swastika within a star of David ...)

- the table is actually a gate and is Shinto (Japanese)
- I never knew this one: the ship's steering wheel is for buddhism (the 'Wheel of Dharma'). I had thought the hand was Buddhist but that is Jainism.

- it's still not clear what the trident is (possibly paganism?)

seems to work via registry:

How do I use it? Getting Started
    Add a new key mapping or edit an existing one
    Click "Write to registry" and wait for a confirmation that the registry was successfully updated
    Close SharpKeys and either log out (and back in) or reboot to enforce the new mappings

Tao, FWIW,
recommendation for remap software via mouser:

Fannon -- thanks for the tip about using SharpKeys to reassign Capslock; i've added a tip about that in the FARR help file for people who want to use CapsLock -- it seems like a good choice especially for laptop users.

also odd because it doesnt exist anymore....


Anyone know
- what's the symbol that looks like a table for?
- and the one that looks like a ship's steering wheel? (maybe simply seafarers)
- and the trident???  (seafarers covered already, some interesting possibilities in wikipedia http://en.wikipedia....ymbolism.2Fmythology)

Glad you like it. I don't believe there's any way to disable just a modifier key using ahk. But this site shows how to use a keyboard mapper software to disable a single key:

(I believe) you could always just change it to shift with AHK -

ABBYY Screenshot Reader can do this. Looks like it's free if you fill out their survey:

http://www.abbyy.com/screenshot_reader/
-dr_andus (October 20, 2012, 10:48 AM)

or,
here's an even shorter route (but might be an older version):

I just checked and you can apparently still get the FREE ABBY Screenshot Reader "RETAIL" (2011 Christmas giveaway) software - download from http://fr7.abbyy.com...enshotReader_ESD.exe

The "newer" version I have (dated 2009-11-20) seems to work just the same as the giveaway version (apparently dated 2009-01), so I don't know what the difference is - if any.

I unfortunately cant make any comment on the video cause I cant see the beggar (again below), but if f you're going to post a controversial video, I think it deserves an appropriate title ;)
-tomos (October 19, 2012, 09:08 AM)

I put the title as the producer has it, with a description. Not sure what else I can do. It's their perogative to give it a name - not mine. ;)
-Renegade (October 20, 2012, 01:30 AM)
I left out an important word there :-[
what I meant to say was that if you were going to post a controversial video, I think the thread deserves an appropriate (i.e. related) title.

I dont really understand - isn't every video on youtube and or vimeo etc 'free' - that is, until it's taken down, or blocked (see below).

I unfortunately cant make any comment on the video cause I cant see the beggar (again below), but if f you're going to post a controversial video, I think it deserves an appropriate title ;)

Wasn't there a guy in Texas who claimed to have a cancer cure, and who the FDA tried to supress for years - there was a thread with a bit of discussion about him somewhere (found it).
