Not censorship per-say, but focus.Yeah, right.-wraith808 (April 19, 2012, 06:27 PM)

...borderline appropriate for DC...I would be interested in any non-arbitrary definition you might consider for this. It could form a basis for "Living-Room" censorship rules, where we could all know where we stand and thus what we need to conform to - i.e., the rules thus set. You would presumably (?) be the decision-taker on this.-mouser (April 19, 2012, 11:43 AM)-IainB (April 19, 2012, 05:43 PM)
CrashPlan was the best I found but I simply could not get over the insane memory use issues, so i dropped it after my 30 day trial. However I may try it again at some point.-mouser (April 16, 2012, 01:15 AM)
What about those "Memory Reclaimers" that used to be all the rage a few years ago? I know, I saw the articles that many/most of them didn't actually work but just fiddled with interconnected stats, but just suppose it's "just a memory leak bug", why not just use a utility that reclaims the memory as if it were stopped and started? Just set the mem-util settings so that it doesn't actually interfere with CrashPlan, etc.-TaoPhoenix (April 19, 2012, 07:36 AM)
By the way, though you say:...the Jews were very far from unique...- several things about the Holocaust do make it, historically, kinda unique, including for example:-IainB (April 19, 2012, 05:35 AM)
Quite right there. I'm simply very inarticulate at times. I mean unique in the sense that people were murdered. I didn't consider any surrounding circumstances.-Renegade (April 19, 2012, 08:34 AM)
...according to Ward Churchill, a professor of ethnic studies at the University of Colorado, the reduction of the North American Indian population from an estimated 12 million in 1500 to barely 237,000 in 1900 represents a"vast genocide . . . , the most sustained on record."
So the 6 million deaths might not have been entirely in vain.-IainB (April 19, 2012, 05:35 AM)

| Excerpt | When the Century Club is called in to prevent the assassination of FDR, it's just another day on the job — but what they discover puts not just the President, but the entire world in jeopardy. With psychic dinosaurs taking over Manhattan and beyond, it's up to Sally Slick, Jet Black, Mack Silver, and the other Centurions to save humanity — from extinction! This is our first fiction project at Evil Hat. We’ve published pen & paper roleplaying games before, and now we’ve set our sights on expanding into other media. For our starting point, we’re diving into the wild and wooly world of our in-house 1930s-era pulp adventure setting called Spirit of the Century. In that world, you’ll find flying jet-men, talking apes, and ancient Atlantean technology, along with two swinging fists, mad science, and some snappy patter (not to mention Sally Slick, a Rosie the Riveter type gal who’s aces at inventing new gadgetry). We’re excited to begin! |

| Excerpt | "In a young adult book market crowded with the depressing and the dour, Tim Byrd’s Doc Wilde swings in on a jungle vine to raise the flag high for adventure. Infused with pace, fun, and all the two-fisted action a reader could ask for, Wilde lovingly riffs on situations straight out of the old pulps, even while making them fresh for a new generation." — Zack Stentz, screenwriter, Thor, X-Men: First Class Looking For Adventure? GO WILDE! The Astonishing Adventures of Doc Wilde recapture the magic of classic pulp adventure stories, with lost worlds, ancient ruins, weird science, evil villains, and daring heroes, bringing them into the 21st century with contemporary themes, modern scientific notions, the wonders of a close family, and a deep appreciation of literature and of the thinking life itself. "It's a true delight...Tim Byrd has taken Doc Savage, added in a pinch of Robert E. Howard, a liberal dose of H.P. Lovecraft, and mixed it all together in a well done, enchanting pastiche of the pulps that will appeal to the adult audience as well as the young adult readers. It is an over the top at times, rip roaring adventure that returns us to the days of yesteryear and leaves us wanting more." —The Baryon Review |
I'm not sure about Writer's Cafe, but LSB just works on putting in column headers, so you cn have any system you want.-Dormouse (April 17, 2012, 11:36 AM)
As a WinPatrol Plus user, sent author support questions over a month ago, twice, and still haven't heard back. In contrast, I ask Mouser a question about ScreenshotCaptor and it's answered five minutes later.-Midnight Rambler (April 17, 2012, 10:18 AM)

Try sending him an e-mail; he got back to me after a short while with the correct code for my purchase.-Jibz (April 17, 2012, 12:47 AM)
I just bought a family pack as well, which got me a page with a code for Task Catcher.
Check what you get when you order, the process seems a little flaky.-Jibz (April 16, 2012, 02:24 PM)

I'm also thinking about this monitor, mainly due to it's 2ms response, size, price and the reviews are pretty good. Thoughts?-MilesOhToole (March 30, 2012, 09:21 PM)
