Living Room / Re: Is this offesive?

If it's Japanese in origin, then it's not considered obscene by their standards. The rest of the world is very prudish compared to them. We would consider them a degenerate society if we looked close enough at them.

This is a country where young school girls make pocket money by selling their panties so they can be sold, unwashed, in vending machines to grown men. And this is totally acceptable and encouraged.

Living Room / Re: free public domain movies to download via bittorrent
« Last post by app103 on January 30, 2006, 11:50 PM »
hate to tell you this but most of those movies are NOT public domain.

Just because a movie is old, unknown, indy...or just plain crappy...it's NOT public domain.

The only stuff on that site that could be considered public domain are the old silent movies...or anything they might have that was produced by the government.

Rule of thumb:

for any creative work, whether in music, art, print, video, photos, etc...

if the government made it, it belongs to 'we, the people' and can't be copyrighted.

If it's from before 1920, it's copyright has run out and can't be renewed, and is now public domain. (unless it is trademarked, like most of the Disney things are...that will never run out as long as the Disney company still exists)

Unfinished Requests / Re: IDEA: Text Editor just for text (stay with me)

mark this day in your history books..
i think zaine has created a new movement..
a new underground scene is going to rise up from zaine's original post, dedicated to removing features from software, eliminating menus and buttons from existing programs, splicing stuff out of help files, etc. :)

I like the idea...always have. Getting rid of bloat has been a major goal of mine with software I use on my P1. When you have an old slow pc with not much in the way of resources it becomes almost an obsession. My dIE (damn IE) browser has become somewhat of a joke among friends....simple basic no frills browser (and I mean no frills)....not even an icon on the titlebar...lol.  ;D

I found this one when I was looking for something similar. Links are not clickable in your saved text, and it has no search functions.....but for every entry you add, you can also attach a file and an image.

It was supposed to be geared more towards programmers and has syntax hilighting for a few languages but you can select plain text for your snips instead.

I liked the idea of attaching files to entries.

General Software Discussion / Re: What's your favorite launch bar? Your favorite features? Missing Features?
« Last post by app103 on January 28, 2006, 05:33 AM »
With a taskbar like this, who needs a launchbar? Unless it would be exactly like the existing windows taskbar in function so I can set it on the left side and load it up like I did to this one.

Personally, I hate menus and would rather have neat rows of sorted shortcuts to everything I want to use. I also hate using the start menu, and only go there for rarely used things I have installed that I failed to include on my taskbar.

This is a screenshot of what I did with the taskbar on my old P1 that has winME installed on it.

My P4 is much less cluttered...I haven't had it very long. And before anybody asks...

No, there is no software that I know of that has a toilet roll for an icon...that's my recycle bin...looks like a toilet when it's empty :-P

Other stuff gets run only when I am actively using it.

Living Room / Re: topview recorder or media center pc
« Last post by app103 on January 26, 2006, 01:51 AM »
I regard these 'media center' pc's as an alternative to the clutter of having a tv and a pc and a stereo and a dvd player, etc in a bedroom. I wouldn't go for something like this as my main livingroom media center. If you are tight on space, go for a media center. If you have the space, go for something with better specs for your buck. You can get a great system and whatever else you need to create your own 'media center' as add-ons, as you can afford it.

Post New Requests Here / Re: .EXE extention changer
« Last post by app103 on January 26, 2006, 12:04 AM »
I found that if you .rar the files they slip right through. Works with my MSN, Gmail, and numerous other places that don't allow .exe files.

You can also use yousendit.com and just pass the link from them into your msn messages.

Finished Programs / Re: IDEA: Windows system tray clock replacement
« Last post by app103 on January 25, 2006, 11:57 PM »
I am currently developing a small app as a tray clock replacement, mainly because I want one too. I keep my taskbar hidden and needed something that is easy to read.

You can download a beta of my freeware clock at my site. Keep in mind it's a beta and I am still working on it. Keep checking back from time to time to get the latest version of it.

features currently include:
  • always on top
  • customizeable size
  • customizable colors
  • option to remove tray clock
  • stopwatch
  • countdown timer
  • hourly chime
  • ToDo List
  • small utility to aid in making alphabetical lists
  • display system uptime
  • date as tooltip
  • copy date to clipboard
  • copy system uptime to clipboard
  • copy current time to clipboard
  • can not accidently be dragged off the screen
  • remembers user settings
  • remembers where on the screen you placed it on last run
  • menu accessable by right clicking either clock or tray icon
