Maybe the rumor that Google is just a part of LifeLog wasn't just a "loony conspiracy theory"... A Spy Machine of DARPA's Dreams http://www.wired.com/news/business/0,1367,58909,00.html

There is a simple solution that works in most company environments where access to the net can sometimes be useful. Set up one or two computer stations that are always on-line and can be used by personel who now and then need to find information and/or download whatever they might need to perform their job task. Place these stations where they can be seen and accessed by most people. Make a temp folder that is shared by everyone in the compa

Thanks thomassen for the suggestion. Unfortunately I'm not a programmer, I'm a graphic designer and scripting is not my forte. My goal for buying DesktopX Professional was to be able to make mockups of specialized applications and GUIs for clients, using the Gadget format as the perfect solution. With the current About box function it looks like I will not be able to reach that goal.

Will the 3.2 version of DesktopX Professional finally make it possible to create customized About screens that match the created application? Sorry, but the DesktopX advertising gotta go from the About-popup if people are expected to use it for professional creations.

"It's so convenient to have a system where everyone is a criminal" - Adolf Hitler "There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power government has is the power to crack down on criminals. When there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws." - Ayn Rand

"For the first time, the new version will include support for so-called widgets, Opera representative Thomas Ford said. Widgets are essentially small browser windows that display information taken from the Internet on a user's desktop. The notion is similar in concept to the widget idea that Apple Computer uses in the Dashboard feature of Mac OS X." ... "To drive usage of the new widgets feature, Opera will offer about 10 widgets

Apparently any address starting with 224.0.0.0 is used for "multicasting" when applications tries to locate other computers on a network. http://www.networksorcery.com/enp/protocol/ip/multicast.htm Sorry, can't help you more than that since networks are not my speciality =\

GIMP will let you do that. http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/ Just delete any background layer behind your graphics. GIMP is almost as powerful as Photoshop and as Photoshop it needs some time before you know how things work in it. Tip: Many tasks can be found under the right mousebutton.

Interesting. Thanks for the heads-up. If they call I'll say that I don't have the card where I'm at and that I'm in the middle of an important phone call but I'll get my card and call back with the number as soon as I've finished this other call. Then I'll ask for their number. With a lil luck they'll be greedy enough to give me a number where the cops can find them =D

I would tell them exactly what you have told us, that your system started to glitch and that you made a clean install of the system but that that did not help, it's continuing to give you errors. You should tell them that you were advised to check your hard drive and that you used Seagate's online tools, which reported file system errors. Ask them what they suggest is the best way to get a fully worki

Actually there may be a separate banner window opened up that you're not supposed to see. Once I found a window opened and placed just so it would be outside my 1600x1200 resolution desktop, but, a tiny slice of the browser's left side appeared at my bottom right desktop side. I managed to grab it and move it to the middle and saw that it was a separate flash ad originating from wincustomize.com. Go figure.</f

Hehe, no worries, it's the busy season =D "i did it again and some errors came up without any programs" Ok, now we know that there is indeed something bad going on and the file system is taking the hits. It may be that the hard drive platter surface is causing the errors, but without using special tools (like Spinrite) we won't know for sure. "1 I got my computer about 3 yrs ago. 2 I Got It brand ne
