Hello,
I'm searching for a software that creates a txt-file for every other file in the folder (incl. sub-folders). The name of the txt-file should be the same as the name of the original file(s). Any idea?-Child-in-silence (July 21, 2008, 04:09 PM)
To be honest, I actually like the feature mentioned in the article (it's Vista's shutdown button), except for the fact that it comes predifined to "sleep", which makes no sense. After changing it to "shutdown", I think it's a giant step better than XP's dialog.-jgpaiva (July 21, 2008, 08:24 AM)
| Joel was talking about how sleep and hibernate can be merged. The Mac does this nicely. There is only one choice, "Sleep." At least with laptops, it hibertates the machine (writes RAM to disk) but then actually sleeps. That way, in case the power goes away by the battery wearing down, you just wake up as if you had been hibernating all along. (You can test this by sleeping a Macbook and then removing the battery. I don't feel like unplugging my iMac to see if it works the same way.) And if you never run out of power, you get the advantage of a fast wake-up time. |
| Actually, that's not true. Mac's by default to the equivalent of Stand By in Windows, which is that it doesn't write the RAM to disk. If you take out the battery your data goes down the drain. However, if you put it to sleep, and it's sleeping drains the battery, it will go into a "Deep Sleep" that writes RAM to disk before the battery goes completely dead. When you wake it up it'll do a little progress bar and you're back. |

Thank you very much for taking the time to post this.
It's one of those programs I wrote that very few people use so it's always nice to hear it's useful for someone.-mouser (July 20, 2008, 01:28 PM)

I copied Lanux's code, saved as .ahk and then d/l autohotkey and converted it to exe. I then double clicked the exe and it puts an icon down in the tray by the clock.
But how do I set the options or where do I go to check them?-techidave (July 19, 2008, 03:07 PM)

is there a way to search by date only and see all the posts? if there is, I haven't found it yet.-techidave (July 19, 2008, 02:52 PM)
unless you're just looking at posts for one or two days or so[offtopic] I am pretty sure there's a topic here on DC with a few text editors similar to the one 40hz just posted, I just can't find the topic[/offtopic]

Well, 1 GB for 80 tabs is not exactly a conservative usage of memory (nor very normal). I say this because the other day I had around 200 tabs in Opera, and memory usage was around 450 MB (for the browser, not total usage)
