what was the condition in the if statement?

false?

I still haven't gotten around to trying the new version yet    From talking to the rep, I'd disregard my current mini-review, as the new version has changed a lot since then.  I do use benubird pdf regularly, and love it.  One of the reasons that I have not gotten around to tabbles.

timns, you started bad-mouthing our product. You should stop it now, OK? It is for no good.

-BartelsMedia (January 15, 2011, 04:16 PM)

He's actually been very civil. He gave his opinion of something in the product, in a non-negative manner, and there you appeared again.  He's actually been quite nice, so desisting from the personal attacks and as mouser said being nice would be helpful.

What about in the immediate window?  Can you access them there?

Another idea... also to try after that one... if you use the objects right after (i.e. debug.print(pi1.tostring()) or something like that) does it then become accessible?

DC Member Programs and Projects / Re: Streambox VCR

« Last post by wraith808 on January 15, 2011, 03:25 PM »

Distributing of Streambox VCR is illegal in the US.  See what the EFF says about it here.

I'm sure with a little more googling you can find it, but whether I agree with the law or not, I don't want to get the people here at DoCo in trouble for pointing people to that.

Feels like I missed quite a few fiery threads here on DC in the past, but just recently there have been one or two instances that seem to me to contravene the spirit of the site.

-timns (January 15, 2011, 10:51 AM)

I think you handled the one situation that I saw a lot better than I would have.  There are some who are just abrasive, some intentionally, and some not.  I haven't always handled it in the best manner, especially when someone is trying to show that they are smarter than you at your expense.  Or some that obviously post under sock puppets.  But in the end, DC is a very good environment, and the ability to be a douche if you take advantage of the environment is one of the reasons- only extreme situations are really policed.

Sounds like they might be after breaches in company policy rather than malware.

-J-Mac (January 14, 2011, 12:25 AM)

They don't really care, truthfully, other than a) policy on inappropriate sites (there was a big stink over pr0n sites a while back, from what I hear), and b) viruses (some virus brought the company to its knees a while back).  As I said, I'm pretty friendly with the admins, and they're more overworked by having a global company supporting a product with real-time 24/7 almost 365 day updates than actual internet usage.  The pay is performance based, so your performance comes out in your pay, rather than someone keeping track of your internet usage.

Should be fixed now.

I'm not sure what filtering software we use at work, but it's been here for a while, and I just saw something that I hadn't seen before:

THIS SITE HAS BEEN BARRED UNDER COMPANY POLICY ON USAGE OF THE INTERNET, OR TO PREVENT EXCESSIVE DEMAND CONFLICTING WITH CORE BUSINESS ACTIVITIES.

Internet Usage is Monitored.
Your IP address: <Redacted>
The URL is: skwire.dcmembers.com
The category of this URL is: Suspicious

I'm sure its because of false positives... just wanted to let you know.  Even though false positives are reported to the virus agencies, and you can ignore them, there are other ramifications that haven't been considered (at least by me).

iCrap app(s) cost money.

-Deozaan (January 13, 2011, 01:47 AM)

To be fair, that's a function of the developer of the app.  Developing a paid app for a free service has always seemed sort of questionable to me, especially if you don't have a free (if less featured) version to give back to the community...

N.A.N.Y. 2011 / Re: NANY 2011 Release: Park Cursor Aside

« Last post by wraith808 on January 09, 2011, 10:32 AM »

park cursor aside

@wraith808, PCA moves the mouse cursor only and does not effect focus. Set "Slide mouse.." to 0 (zero) if it is higher, for quicker parking. Also you may try "Park at..screen edge' different values for different screen position and check. The "Park pixel..inward..", I made to not activate some toolbox which are normally at the screen edge, which get activated if mouse cursor comes near it. Let me know if it helped.

-anandcoral (January 09, 2011, 05:43 AM)

Ah, I see... using that setting helped immensely!  Thanks!

If you wanted to search specific dictionaries then you may be able to cobble something together with a macro to open new tab, then use site:merriam-webster.com word or site:thefreedictionary.com sesquipedalian

-MilesAhead (November 18, 2010, 05:05 PM)

The dictionaries I am talking about are software ones, not on-line.

-lls (November 18, 2010, 09:09 PM)

Oh... I misunderstood too.  I was allowing to use the websites; I didn't realize they were software based.

-wraith808 (November 18, 2010, 09:14 PM)

Did someone do a NANY based on this idea? (using websites - I've lost track of the NANY entries...)

-tomos (January 08, 2011, 11:59 AM)

I did... the regex's used to get the definitions aren't as good as they should be right now, and I have a couple of features to add, but it's functional.
