I remember getting a virus that did this (on a work computer!) way back in 2000. We went in the computer and noticed that every single audio file had a txt file created. What a pain that was!Hi guys, before many years i have use a tiny free utility that creates a text file from any windows file.-sakiskom (September 03, 2014, 08:09 PM)
Man, I used to love that thing ... I think it was called F-note (short for file note). It was just a context menu item that showed up for all files that would put an empty text file with the same name in the same location as target file.
AbteriX's solution looks like a hit, as it will produce the same result.-Stoic Joker (September 04, 2014, 11:32 AM)
Thanks Shades.Is it the flux capacitor?
Blown capacitor is the most common reason. I opened the box but none are obviously blown - none are raised or blackened.

Cool....of all people!...uh, no
Bummer!
I kinda liked it more when we didn't really know how it worked.

Network Settings Manager (both a free and a paid version available) sounds like just what your doctor orderedomg i didn't know about this great tool. thanks!!
I wrote a tool with somewhat similar features, around the Windows 95/98 availability period (15 to 18 years ago), but I never updated it when Window 2000 (and later XP) with it's improved login procedures arrived, as it was to be started before/on top op the Win9x logon screen.

I'm pretty sure now that the problem was, embarrassingly, caused by an older version of my own program, Multi Photo Quotes. Installing the latest version seemed to solve it.Would you like me to contact the developer?-mouser (August 28, 2014, 01:18 PM)

One thing that interested me with that comic strip...was how just adding those tiny little eyebrows, it added some much more "emotion" to the facial expression.yup.-Stephen66515 (August 26, 2014, 02:06 PM)
That's just one of my pet peeves.-Renegade (August 25, 2014, 01:24 PM)

Performance featuring Seaboard GRAND keyboards.That's VERY fascinating. First thing I think of is a keyboard that has breath controller, pitch/bend, or any midi control built into the keys themselves.On May 22nd, ROLI showcased a Seaboard ensemble at Abbey Road Studios, featuring legendary keyboardist Jordan Rudess, accompanied by Marco Parisi and Heen-Wah Wai, and Ray Hearne at the drums.The song was composed for ROLI by Nathan Stornetta and Jordan Rudess. It is named after bass player extraordinaire Tony Levin, for its incredible bass and synth sounds.
Interesting possibilities for the adventurous keyboardist...
More on the Seaboard can be found on its website. Link here.-40hz (August 24, 2014, 04:52 PM)
I certainly have my pet peeves when it comes to language and grammar though. One of the big ones is the general inability of English speakers to account for number when they write or speak. It's not that hard to tell the difference between "1" and "other than 1". Sigh... There are others though. (That was a concise demonstration of the issue.)Que? I'm curious, but I don't think I understand what you are saying? Clarification?-Renegade (August 25, 2014, 08:25 AM)
Interesting question, didn't really think about that. I use btsync and it's great, I love how nothing is stored in the cloud. TO answer the question, I think I'll reference 40hz' posts regarding privacy and how there basically is none in the current computer/internet setup, and it's a game that we're just playing amongst ourselves in a system that is already compromised.Are those trackers run by Bittorrent Inc?Yeah, but how does the client know who to communicate your IP address to?... like a torrent. There are trackers that know the locations of peers holding data. But they don't know what the content of the data is. And when the actual data of a message gets transferred, it's done peer-to-peer so there's no metadata passing through a central server where it can be easily intercepted. ... actual communication takes place directly between the parties themselves.-Deozaan (August 04, 2014, 08:24 AM)-40hz (August 04, 2014, 08:58 AM)
BTW does the peer matching for Bittorrent Sync work the same way? Some write ups claim that Bittorrent Sync is more secure than Dropbox since the data isn't cloud stored. But if the client matching happens in the cloud a powerful agency could require the cloud operator to hand over the secret key and then use the key to access the Sync folder directly on the client. Likewise a malicious employee who previously would try to circumvent company security to access a client data item would now instead try to circumvent company security to get the client's secret key and with it get the data directly from the client. Bittorrent saves money on not having to host and transfer the data and client may see higher speeds. But is it in practice any more secure than Dropbox style services?-Nod5 (August 15, 2014, 03:40 AM)
Even without the alcohol, soft-carbonated (and preferably unsweetened) lemonade is a treat on a hot day.Interesting...never tried it sugarless. Any recommendations on brands?
Learned about that one from a expat French client of mine. I understand it's big on the Continent.-40hz (August 12, 2014, 12:15 PM)
