Living Room / Re: Swoopo - A New Take on Online Auctions, or a Scam?
« Last post by jgpaiva on November 02, 2008, 02:34 PM »
Oh, sorry, I didn't read your post correctly, I thought you meant the other post a few bellow that one.

You're right: something fishy is going on there, the same  user getting 2 items on different sites with the same bidding, at the same time.. I'd go for what you said: there are false bidders by swoopo.

Deozaan: read a few comments bellow that one, someone from swoopo shows that the screenshot has been tampered.
I don't know who to trust, but I sure won't put my money in there :)

Here's a bit more info on swoopo. Apparently it isn't exactly a scam, but it also isn't "a great deal".
It's more a matter of luck. The items are posted by swoopo themselves, and they get the money for the item in the 1$ commision of the biddings.

So, someone get a bargain, but a lot of other people have wasted money trying to get it, and swoopo is the one that always wins :)

Sounds like playing a casino game: you MAY win something, but the casino will ALWAYS end up getting more than you!

Curt: as you mentioned skrommel's version didn't work with media player minimized, I thought you were able to use it in ahk form.

I can't modify skrommel's version to use winamp, but if you change the shortcut for "next" in winamp to ctrl+alt+shift+n (options -> preferences -> global hotkeys: select "enable", and select action as "playback : next in playlist", then select the "hotkey" box and press ctrl+alt+shift+n, and then press "add"), the following will work:

[Select]
loop
{
sleep,10000
send,^!+n
}
(compiled version attached to this post)

PS: sorry for not finding a simpler solution for this  :-[

Hi Nexxo!
Welcome to donationcoder.com.

Just a warning for someone downloading it:
On a browser, it might look as if the image isn't there. That's only because it's white, and blends with the background. If you right-click the middle of the screen, you can select "download image" (or the equivalent in your browser).

That would be a glaring security hole - see my comments in the NortonUAC thread(s).

Unless XYplorer is shoddily coded, you should get the same warnings/elevations in that as you do in explorer.

From what I understand from the article mentioned, they have added an option not to get warnings from "user actions", where they include for example creating folders in system dirs. With this option on, you only get prompts from programs, meaning that creating a folder with explorer wouldn't get a prompt, but doing it with XY would.

On 10:Windows 7's Streamlined UAC
YAY!! I'm glad to know they're trying to improve it. Unfortunatelly, I still don't see anything like the "allow this program to have always admin privileges without asking me" option. That means I won't get warnings for stuff I do with explorer.exe, but I get with XYplorer :(

Oh, ok :)
But if my version works, you only have to change the 20000 to 10000 and you should be ok!

@curt: don't you prefer skrommel's version? All you need to do is change the 20000 to 10000 :) (it's in milliseconds, so, 10*1000)

Axem doesn't like my ahk directory very much.. It has too many scripts :)
Having a vertical scrollbar probably could be a useful idea in the future ;)

From a quick google search, it's obvious that you are associated with the product, and most probably its author (see here).

« Last post by jgpaiva on October 25, 2008, 10:33 AM »
Since reply 21 on this thread was posted, the user posted again recommending the same software, but this time with exactly the same words he used to promote this software on the whole web (tens of results for parts of the text of the post).
Thus, I removed the other post and banned him.

I've removed the spam post and banned the user Darwin referes in the post above this one. While his first post didn't look like a serious spam (there weren't other posts like it on the web), there are tens of posts like the one he did on this thread.

Did you try that one?

On the new format:
Interesting!
I was one of the ones that didn't support the new idea, but I actually think it's way more interesting! It's less cluttered, easier to browse through, and I ended up reading more news than I would in the older version.
I am all for keeping it :)

on the news:
About 2. Passports Will Be Needed to Buy Mobile Phones.. How is this possible?  :huh: It's not really original, books and movies have been predicting this day for a few decades. I just wasn't expecting it would ever come. :(

Deozaan is correct.
One box = non donating member;
Two boxes = donating/honorary member who joined after march 2006 (see here for more info);
Three boxes = donating/honorary member who joined before march 2006
There's noone I know that has 4 boxes;
5 Boxes are for moderators and our fearless spiritual leader :)
