I'll have an update out sometime tonight.-Rob Nelson (January 19, 2011, 04:42 PM)
Since I rarely have any malware, perhaps I shouldn't be so concerned, but I don't like the idea that a malware program that managed to get on my computer could send out information without my knowing it. Thus, a firewall that works in both directions seems to me a good idea.I'm under the impression that the Windows firewall was extensively improved for Windows 7 (or perhaps Vista, I'm not sure), but that it's not so good for Windows XP. Am I mistaken?It was introduced with XP SP2, and it was just fine back then - what you really need is incoming stuff blocked, and the XP firewall does that just fine.-cyberdiva (January 12, 2011, 12:08 PM)-f0dder (January 12, 2011, 01:12 PM)
i don't care what kind of bad stuff. But if I need multiple programs to deal with the multiple kinds of bad stuff, that's fine. My goal is simply to cover all bases and I'll use the proper lingo when necessary.Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware is designed to supplement what an AV program does and to catch the things most AV programs are likely to miss. It can be used on demand or (in the Pro version) you can schedule it to run scans at a specific time. Also, its database is updated multiple times a day. I've been using it for about two years, and I like the feeling of extra security that it gives me. Since I rarely if ever have any malware on my computer, I can't say it has made a difference except to my peace of mind.-superboyac (January 12, 2011, 11:59 AM)
Well, maybe we have our answer for the antivirus/firewall categories.I'm under the impression that the Windows firewall was extensively improved for Windows 7 (or perhaps Vista, I'm not sure), but that it's not so good for Windows XP. Am I mistaken?-superboyac (January 12, 2011, 11:30 AM)
Personally, I don't have a problem with businesses that offer incentive pricing.I tend to agree. Speaking as a customer rather than a developer, I'd be delighted if I were given the opportunity to buy at a substantial discount what looked to be a better piece of software than the one I currently own. But that would only be true if I were dissatisfied with my present software or I were really impressed by features in the competitor's program that mine didn't offer. I've seen these kinds of competitive offers from time to time and have never been tempted by them because I was already happy with the program I owned.-40hz (January 11, 2011, 06:48 AM)
Seriously. Go to spokeo.com and type in your name (and any past names for you married ladies). If you don't like your information being displayed, click on your name (at the left) and then copy the URL of your profile, then click the Privacy link in the bottom right corner of the page. You will be given the opportunity to paste the URL to opt out of the service.Well, I just searched for me, and all they had was my name, address, phone number, spouse's name, assessed value of my house (!), and approximate age. I thought about asking them to remove that, but to do that I'd have to give them my email address. Frankly, since they apparently don't yet have that, that's the last thing I'd want to add to their info. I don't trust them at all. So, since the info they have is pretty much readily available online already, I'm tempted to let them keep that. I do have junk email addresses, but I think I'd rather these sleazeballs didn't even know what they are.-Deozaan (January 10, 2011, 07:24 AM)
About Everything be sure you use latest version, not the one on frontpage. Check changlog at forum section "Announcement". . . One of those I wish would go payware to be honest.Thanks for this info. From time to time I've simply used Everything's "Check for Updates," and I've always been told that the version I'm using (1.2.1.371) is up to date. After reading your message, I went to the forum site and found a download for version 1.2.1.451a, but then I saw that it's an alpha (I normally avoid alphas) and it was released in November 2009! So what's the story? Is it stable? Are they still working on it? Like you, I'd gladly pay money for this program. However, since that's apparently not possible, I'd just like to be sure that I'm not trading a stable version for one that still isn't even in beta.-Bamse (January 08, 2011, 02:02 PM)
Paintshop Pro, basic tools...mostly the clone tool...and pixel by pixel editing by hand, zooming in & out, over & over. No fancy tricks and tools here, pure skill. (that's why it's a lot of work)Thanks very much, April, for your response. Being lazy, I had hoped for a magic bullet, but I'm also glad to know that such impressive results are possible with skill and hard work.-app103 (January 05, 2011, 02:23 PM)
This is a lot of work, and I normally work on much larger images, but if you are willing to give me enough time, I can do the rest for you too.I'm really impressed with your version of the apples. What did you use to do this? The edges are especially impressive (compared to anything I've been able to do).-app103 (October 17, 2010, 09:30 AM)
-I marked the article's text on this Danish page, and right-clicked Surfulater: Add new article.Hi, Curt. I opened to the Danish page whose link you provided, highlighted the article (did you do that?), right-clicked Add New Article, and Surfulater added the article, complete with all the Danish letters.
Nothing else.
I guess it may be due to the lack of Unicode.-Curt (January 02, 2011, 11:36 AM)
. I've found that I can enter, say, characters like é, ñ, ü, and ¿ and see them in the articles I've saved, but if I try to search on a word with one of these characters, I'm not successful. If the word is in the title, I can find it via the Knowledge Tree Filter, which apparently can handle unicode, but the otherwise terrific full-text search mechanism cannot. I've been hoping that Neville will fix this. He claimed back in May that he was working on it, but apparently he hasn't yet been successful.I tried NetNotes, as a possible replacement for Surfulater. I wasn't that thrilled with it. Surfulater really spoiled me rotten.I was about to recommend Surfulater, but I see app103 has beaten me to it. I tend to save parts of web pages rather than the entire page, but Surfulater can do both. A description of some of its web-saving capabilities can be found here. And it's not limited to information from the Web. Just about any electronic document can be saved.-app103 (January 01, 2011, 10:35 AM)
I don't find it at all difficult. There were a couple of times in the past when ClipMate would quickly run up or down the list of clips I wanted to paste without pasting anything. When that happened, I think I wrote to the forum, and the developer promptly told me what to do to prevent that from happening. I honestly don't recall the details, because it was a while ago. For the most part, I just tell Clipmate whether I want it to go up or down my list, and it pastes the clips in that order.One feature that I use a lot in ClipMate is "Power Paste."-cyberdiva (December 21, 2010, 12:35 PM)
The only time I tried that I got in a right mess. I don't currently have need of it, but how difficult do you find it?-rjbull (December 21, 2010, 03:14 PM)
