What's so special about MPL that i see many softwares are adding it to their license model these days ?-mahesh2k (February 12, 2011, 01:12 PM)
^Disagree on the books side of the equation. I like to really carefully look over a book before I buy it. Especially some of those $50+ paperbacks we computer people are so fond of. Customer reviews and sample pages (a la Amazon) are ok, but nothing equals spending 20 or 30 minutes over a coffee while carefully perusing two competing book titles before making your purchase decision.
Guess that's going to go the way of the dodo too.-40hz (February 12, 2011, 05:59 PM)
I remember one of the books, "Who is Bugs Potter?" It was such a joy to read. It was about a kid that wanted to be a drummer. Band names in the book included "Nuclear Tea Pot". I think the publisher was "Apple Paperbacks". Other favorites were the "Choose Your Own Adventure" series. One of the "inspirations/motivations" for it is someone I know and who shall remain unnamed -- Asking him to rename a file is a major task. Watching him browse to a different location on his computer is enough to make you want to rip your eye-balls out and scream. While seeing Cthulhu may give you a few insanity points, he'll max you out real quit as you find yourself screaming wildly and attempting to bash your brains out in a padded cell.
I've not given him a link for it yet, but he'll be the acid test to see if I've managed to get the UI right.-Renegade (February 06, 2011, 03:51 PM)
Having such person is a big +. It is too bad that each person can only by used once for such tests.
Anyway, what I wanted to emphasize in my previous post is that you should pick an area and make your picture resizer be totally awesome in that single area. The area may be for example ease of use, resizing speed, image quality, user interface sexiness, understandable documentation, portability, seamless integration with another software, or something completely different. I followed that path years ago and it worked. There is a good number of free picture resizers out there competing for attention (some of them even online services), and being best in something is a must.-vlastimil (February 12, 2011, 03:49 PM)
Maybe I'll do something a bit more exotic next year. DC thong or something.-timns (February 12, 2011, 03:26 PM)
Perhaps by then there'll also be wine and women.-cranioscopical (February 12, 2011, 05:46 PM)
I tried the beta and it was horrible. I had to uninstall it.

Horrible in what way?-Stoic Joker (February 12, 2011, 08:17 AM)
Borders Group Inc. is in the final stages of preparing a bankruptcy filing, clinching a long fall for a company with humble beginnings that helped change the way Americans buy books but failed to keep pace with the digital transformation rocking every corner of the media landscape.

not even a joke, but a real life story (It's important to read ALL of the story!):

Wait...you're in Australia aren't you? One of the few countries where it's legal, (or I should probably say: 'not illegal'), to have/sell region free DVD players and you've got a region locked player?-4wd (February 10, 2011, 11:27 PM)
(Very not happy at my Star Wars DVDs not being playable...)Edit: On the flipside, the applications you guys are listing here are a lot better than the ones you guy say you are often using in one of the other DonationCoder software listing threads. Focus groups...err...forum threads truly don't work.-Paul Keith (February 09, 2011, 09:04 PM)

Renegade: the whole point would be getting rid of all those FSCKING LAME "so ein ding mussen ich auch haben" 3rd-party auto-update tools, and have one centralized & stream-lined process to handle all updates. It would be very++ nice for the end-users.-f0dder (February 08, 2011, 02:54 AM)
The single biggest barrier is one of trust. How well do you trust the 3rd party not to do something evil? And how much responsibility do you want to take for distributing something you didn't write yourself?-40hz (February 07, 2011, 01:50 PM)
