Please don't take offense, Doc. At least not enough to inhibit your contributions to these forums. It's not, and shouldn't be, personal. Opinions are just that. It's great of you to share what you find that might be of interest to others. Hate to see that stop.

Reply to Titlebar problems in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

The transparent title bar/missing buttons issue with some browsers is known & supposedly fixed in the latest WB, but still occurs with Palemoon on first launch on my rig. Re-applying the skin fixes it here. Minor annoyance but it works. Apparently the browser designers keep messing with title bars with updates, giving Stardock a bit of a moving target. While the right-click-rollup/down option is still supported by WB, it may not be compatible with the way Google,

Transparency is very important to the government, especially this administration, except when it isn't. I highly anticipate some very unpleasant surprises buried in those 332 pages. I have a feeling 'neutrality' is about to get very expensive.

Reply to Keurig - Bringing DRM to Coffee in Life, the Universe and Everything JoeUser Forums

While I like and use the Keurig at times, the coffee it makes always tastes 'slightly scalded' to me, for lack of a better description, even with my own selected grounds. Was less noticeable with the 1.0 brewers as you could lower the brewing temp but the new 2.0 machines don't give you any control over temperature. So far (at least) the most mellow coffee (to my taste) is brewed with a French press with water at a temp of ~175-180 degrees.

Reply to Master Skin prices skyrocket! in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Having spent countless hours on skins a few years ago when they were far easier to create, I have a real appreciation for the effort put in to a high quality skin that gets all the details right. There were times when it took a few days or a week to fix a single rogue pixel that just didn't look right, or to create an image that when applied gave the visual perception I was looking for. I did it for the challenge and fun of it and uploaded them for free use, but that was my ch

Reply to New Windows, new Object Desktop Suite? in Object Desktop JoeUser Forums

No doubt there are plans to make every Stardock app in the OD suite compatible with Win10 if technically feasible. Not speaking on SD's behalf, just from experience, and from a few posts indicating most of the OD apps are playing nice with the beta(s) so far. They are not likely to make any official predictions just yet - doubt that will happen until Win10 hits at least RTM & they've had a chance to see what's possible.

Reply to Keurig - Bringing DRM to Coffee in Life, the Universe and Everything JoeUser Forums

Mark - the cups have to be either GMC or 'certified' (licensed) brands for the 'sensor' in the 2.0 unit to enable brewing. Not sure what part of the K-cup top is scanned but I think it is the 'ring' or border. In any event, the 'hack' works, enabling use of any cup and some fill-it-yourself baskets (some of the baskets may not fit the new design but mine happen to).

[quote who="kryo" reply="33" id="3518716"] the DRM fracas isn't attributable to a sudden change in ownership [/quote] That, too, is fair enough. And accurate. I, too, should have confirmed that belief as I had been unaware of GMCR's ownership until the 2.0 units came out. But I still think the DRM scheme was an attempt to increase sales of GMCR-produced & licensed K-cups by precluding the use of unlicensed, non-GMCR coffees. I don't fo

Reply to Keurig - Bringing DRM to Coffee in Life, the Universe and Everything JoeUser Forums

Keurig was founded in 1990. Green Mountain bought 35% stake in 1996. Didn't become wholly-owned subsidiary of GMCR until 2006. Just FTR. FWIW, my favorite coffee variety has been Green Mountain's Ethiopian Yirgacheffe but I've not found it available in K-cups; hard to find it at all past 8-10 years.

Reply to Keurig - Bringing DRM to Coffee in Life, the Universe and Everything JoeUser Forums

DRM hack found - worthy of thread resurrection. You can carefully slice off the top of a 2.0-compliant K-cup, place it on top of an old style cup or self-fill basket (tape an edge to hold it in place) and the Keurig 2.0 device is none the wiser. Can re-use the top as many times as you want. Also, don't remember if mentioned above but the reason this DRM scheme was adopted is that Keurig is now owned by a coffee company - Green Mountain - which is more interested in s
