While they maintain they did "nothing..."MS put up a banner across my wife's screen urging her to upgrade-cranioscopical (November 06, 2013, 06:45 PM)
There was something to that effect mumbled in passing.
Still, it's a hell of a bind to put someone in since they were traveling by car when the whole thing kicked off.-Stoic Joker (November 06, 2013, 06:53 PM)
Wasn't sure where to put this and didn't want to start another thread, so...
Had a client (who was out of town) call today in low grade ballistic mode after apparently their Windows 8 laptop just decided to up and start upgrading itself. Luckily I had stashed a copy of the installer for their cellular broadband card - which the 8.1 upgrade broke - on the laptop so I could get them back online over the phone.
Has anyone else heard of that bizarre behavior?-Stoic Joker (November 06, 2013, 06:12 PM)
Thanks. I haven't even looked at that. The one time I tried to it wanted me to have a MS account.How did you get hold of 8.1 to begin with? I thought one had to have a Microsoft account to obtain the upgrade.-cranioscopical (October 21, 2013, 04:50 PM)

The next time I have a month to spare... Oh, and is that 64- and 32-bit, I have both here?(I'm on such a slow internet connection that probably it is academic.)-cranioscopical (October 21, 2013, 04:50 PM)
It's a 2.83Gb download.
i don't want to have to do anything. Possible?then do something impossible.-superboyac (October 18, 2013, 04:39 PM)
I shot the big boss(research project head.. I guess you could say in more ways than one) in the back of the head with a CO2 Laser. It didn't hurt him. But it sure messed up his hair style.Now his parting is such sweet sorrow.-MilesAhead (October 17, 2013, 07:19 PM)

) True, but I haven't a long s on my f-ing keyboardmaybe *you* have a fifter I could kiff ?fo forry, fad to fay no fifter.-tomos (August 29, 2013, 06:20 PM)-cranioscopical (August 29, 2013, 08:39 PM)
Actually, that would be 'kiſs your ſiſter', consistent with the post-medieval/pre-modern usage of the archaic 'long s'w.
Glad to see it go, really. I've a spelling-nazi streak in me that would have been driven to fits...-Edvard (September 29, 2013, 02:52 AM)
Even better would be if we could come up with some unique interesting functionality that would justify this tool's existence.I know this is outre but what's the possibility of being able to search for images based on colour content. E.g., show me anything that's predominantly blue/has at least 10% red/only b&w?-mouser (September 14, 2013, 01:53 PM)
Personally, I'd like more people to help light a fire under Renegade's butt to get him to finish this ruler. I have found it to be quite useful for just about anything I could need a ruler on my screen for.Cor, strike a light, I'll match that request!-app103 (September 08, 2013, 06:01 PM)
So I've thought about this a bit more, some random thoughts:
with a little bit of work, one can already configure a free image gallery/browser/search tool to use with SC. In fact I encourage people to find some good ones and we can make .sctool files for them to share make it trivial to use with SC.
I welcome thoughts on existing free image browsers/searchers, and thoughts on whether it would be worth creating a new one.
As Cranioscopical said, a primary feature of this tool should be the ability to quickly see the recursive contents of folders and quickly search and filter, with rapidly adjustable thumbnail sizes and sort by different properties.-mouser (September 08, 2013, 10:21 AM)
The Premium service of FlightRadar24 will allow you to point your smartphone camera at a overflying plane and have it identified.Apparently I don't need the premium service. I pointed my phone at what I thought was a plane and used the subsequent deposit to identify a seagull.-4wd (September 07, 2013, 10:27 PM)
In that case, try to have it ready by tomorrow afternoon, would you?What might be useful for the search bar would be the ability to search subfolders and display appropriate images all in the same view but that's asking rather a lot.
yes, i was thinking this myself. this is something a gallery view could be made to do.-mouser (September 06, 2013, 04:37 PM)
what i mean is a kind of Gallery mode that you could switch in and out of, which would basically just show a full page of thumbnails in a grid, for quick browsing, searching, deleting, etc.Probably, if it has an option for enlargement of whichever thumbnail is made 'active' either when using arrow keys to scroll the thumbnails or by pointing with the mouse.-mouser (September 06, 2013, 03:02 PM)
