:D And that specific post was written at the same time I wrote my MsC thesis (on which I'm working currently) ;)

Nod5: doesn't android's browser have support for a 'no image' mode? I know Opera does, so I suppose other mobile browsers should have too..

Ok, I've resized the images.

Portugal small: http://upload.wikime...13/Icons-flag-pt.png
Portugal large: Flag_of_Portugal.png

Linux small: NewTux_16x16.png
Linux large: NewTux_64x64.png

Linux small looks like crap :)
And I think I inadvertently cut part of the large version's head  :-[

I just noticed that the cody badge image is really small, don't you have a larger one for 64x64, mouser?

 ;D I love this idea!

I have two suggestions:
url: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portugal
one word label: Portugal
one line title: Inhabitant of Portugal
longer description: This is a badge for the inhabitants of that small country on the western end of Europe, Portugal.
Portugal's flag: http://upload.wikime...Flag_of_Portugal.svg
I found this smaller version, but it's 16x11, so I suppose it's not valid, right? http://upload.wikime...13/Icons-flag-pt.png

url: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/linux
one word label: linux
one line title: Linux user
longer description: -- Don't know what to write here, suggestions are welcome --
http://upload.wikime...mons/b/b0/NewTux.svg

I haven't resized the images because I'd like to hear some opinions first.
I'm starting to think that if people start suggesting so many (idiotic) badges as I did, we will quickly end up with loads of badges over our forum avatar :)

housetier already posted that script :)
Oops.. Sorry.

I just tested it with a large ISO, but even with the plugin, looks like it'll take a few minutes to load (I've waited for about 1min).

From what I know, vim does work with large files.
It does take a while to load the file, however.

I've just found this plugin which will probably solve that problem :)

Can't it be api.farr.dcmembers.com? (although that'd cause the creation of farr.dcmembers.com, which doesn't make much sense).
The appended farr* sounds really weird (even more than 'farr' itself :P).

not a very nice comment
fcoders.dcmembers sounds like f******coders.dcmembers :)

 :( :( It's the usual false positives with authotkey (the language used to build GridMove).
To make sure, you can try uploading the file to Virus Total, which checks it using a few a few antivirus.

Unfortunately, this is caused by incompetent anti-virus designers, and there isn't anything a developer can do to prevent this problem.

Unfortunately, I can't find much information about it here on DC (which I find odd, doesn't anyone use it?).

Forum search fail. I mean, the search function, not your ability using it.
Actually, nope, it didn't fail :) It was your post that lead me to start this thread. What surprised me was that there was no thread about this kind of services .

I don't like it.  If you're one of those who want to own music after paying for it then this is not for you. Without internet(even low speed connection don't make sense here) there is no point in this service.
Actually, I was more interested in the 'radio mode' approach. I think these services (also pandora and lastfm) are really great for discovering new albums and to have 'background sound' for work and such.

It's also very rapid, more so than Deezer or Grooveshark (browser-based) and I particularly like the elegant interface.
Fantastic recomendations, I've been using Grooveshark for a few minutes and I'm really liking it, thanks!  :up: :up:

9. Google Discloses Plans For New Malware-Resistant OS

Oh please no..

"It just shifts the risk," he says. "It's just going to be a shift in attacks [to Web applications]...and we've already seen of lot of that [occurring]. If anything, [Chrome OS is] going to highlight Web application security issues."

It is NOT a Malaware-Resistant OS, it's not a "virus-free system". It's sounds just as dangerous as any other system, of even worse.. I mean, who says that building a kernel incorporating a browser is a good idea? Browsers are constantly targets of exploits, thus these exploits would allow the attacker root access to the system. Furthermore, if all of the apps are on the web, doesn't that mean that phishing (one of the worse attacks since it relies on the stupidity of the user and there's no antivirus for that) would get the attacker access to your whole life?

<rant mode>
I honestly am fed up with all this "my os has no viruses" crap. As long as there are bugs in the software, an attack is possible. And everyone knows that software had bugs, has bugs and will always have bugs.
I just with people would stop with all this "let's fool our costumers" marketing crap and worry with making really useful stuff with that money!

Hi guys!

So, Spotifyw looks good.
Unfortunately, I can't find much information about it here on DC (which I find odd, doesn't anyone use it?).
Also unfortunate is the fact that I apparently can't use it, as it says the free plan is not available in Portugal (where I live).

Does anyone know a solution for this?

What do you think about spotify?

Doesn't this mean that all calls calls to your unique google number will go through google's system?
What's the business model of this system? How do they get paid?

I think this would probably be a request more adequate for SMF's forum, since it should be something more related to the forum software than to DC itself :)

Still, in the remote day when cell phone internet fees get acceptable, I'd really love to read DC on my cell phone! :D

Living Room / Re: Companies Caught Spamming our Forum with Fake Posts
« Last post by jgpaiva on August 26, 2009, 04:35 AM »
I think I understand what Veign means (and app explained). Having links with nofollow will actually hurt DC, when compared to the previous scheme.

I think the best solution would be for the "deleted" board to be open for members (but not for the google bot), and any post that gets in there gets its urls removed.

On the other hand..
1 - No one really will read that board, so it'll be sitting there for nothing
2 - Without the spam links, sometimes you can't even understand where the post links. (and fixing this is really just more work for admin, without a real advantage).
3 - Several of the spam links are not in the posts themselves, but in the signatures of the users, which have to be removed.

I don't usually make individual web pages for my apps, but I have uploaded it to my website - I *might* add pages for individual programs, though (if so, this one will be first). :undecided:
If you've uploaded to your website, take my advice: do NOT attach programs to posts. Link them directly to you site, or each time you update the program you'll have to update all the posts (or the link on the top post, like you did).
Having a link for the direct download on the first post will also get more people to download it ;)

Well, In case that helps, you're not alone!
I'm now finishing my msc, and have already applied for the phd. I'll be starting next month!
I think I'm not fully aware of what I'm getting myself into, but hopefully this will be yet another battle won ;)
