General Software Discussion / Re: Alternative to Linkman
« Last post by rgdot on September 19, 2013, 07:25 PM »
All I'd really like is a standalone and portable bookmark manager that just saves the site names and URLs (with an optional notes field) in a tree list - and invokes your default browser when you click on one. Some keyword or tag feature might be nice - plus the ability to sort them and use folders - plus print the list out as a CSV.

Linkman is very nice. But it's way beyond what I need or want.

Are there any other alternatives to Linkman or LinkStash? not really because anything is wrong with either (although while using/trailing both I did experience a couple of crashes (for both!) but since I am/was unable to replicate I didn't report it to the devs)

So out of curiosity more than anything else, any other alternatives?

Skype can certainly consume that, I have seen it happen. As to why, bloat and probably nothing else.
NSA stuff likely won't show up as a known exe, or even as a component of a known exe. Highly doubt that.

Very interesting, thanks for posting about it, I am interested to see where it goes. However, if I were them I would drop the 'distributed social networking' planned feature. That's a black hole.

I think in theory what mouser proposes is a really good idea but to me it sounds like swinging the pendulum away from a discussion to an article. Almost as if they are blog posts with comments instead of threads on message boards. Nothing really wrong with that, mind you.

I meant "something else we are not seeing" or "we don't know". A program so secretive has so much details available to supposedly outside contractor and relatively low ranking soldier and not only that they got those details out too.
I don't agree that this can simply be a case of somebody heroic having root access, sees the info and slowly walks out with them. It's as if in our analysis of this situation we are subconsciously influenced by Hollywood plots.

Every other article about NSA and privacy issues has a line like 'restricted to those cleared' yet Snowden and whoever else were just able to look at it, walk out with it and reveal it.

That's one of the perks when you have sysadmin privileges. It's good to be root.
-Renegade (September 06, 2013, 08:32 AM)

A "NSA contractor" in this case ... every post and article is convincing more that something else is going on beyond (I am not saying it's not super bad or evil) what is being simply released by a contractor or soldier (a private)

Okay I will say this and I fully expect it to be ignored or at least be called 'nonsense' ... that's fine, it really is, because it's not like I am sure what it means myself.

Very briefly and without comment:

My choices would be MyBB or bbpress. Regarding your 'bores' con of MyBB, personally I would say it applies to all forum packages. Feature-wise they stagnated years ago. Just my opinion :)

The market could use more entrants, whether they are hardware, software or service providers. From this standpoint it's a good thing. Questionable marketing has happened before and will happen again too.

Just because hype and fashion won doesn't mean he was wrong about that one  :tellme:
-rgdot (August 23, 2013, 11:55 AM)

Actually it does. The people he said it doesn't appeal to are using it for exactly what he said they wouldn't. It took me less than half an hour using an iOS device to see that coming and I've never bought an Apple product in my life. Nor do I plan to.

Also he got the basics wrong. The virtual keyboard on a multitouch smartphone, even the earlier cruder ones, are a lot less clumsy than the physical keyboards on the Windows Mobile devices he was bragging about. That's without even getting into the multitude of other problems in Microsoft's earlier mobile operating systems.
-Vurbal (August 23, 2013, 01:10 PM)

I disagree and in a way you allude to it too. When I first saw the iPod I felt the shiny feel and saw the potential appeal too but ... paying that much for the shininess is a whole different issue. To me what Ballmer was saying is true in principle, that shininess can be had for less, especially when the price point is dictated by more than just cost.
