Reply to Should Stardock fix Microsoft's UAC? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

We agree. A program that simply does updates shouldn't get prompted. So how is this our fault? That's not what I said; A program doing updates SHOULD prompt. A program showing updates shouldn't. Doing an update is something only admins are allowed to do, since it touches application files. Showing updates (depending on if the regular user should be allowed to view them at all), should be something that could be done without re

"Right now, every time I open up Stardock Central, I'm prompted by UAC". Then, fix your own software first! There should be no reason for an application that checks for updates to require admin rights. Only installing an update should require those rights.

Reply to .9 (repeating) = 1 in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

This reminds me of something else I heard once... No 2 objects will ever touch, technically. If an object continues to cut it's distance from another object in half, it can, in theory continually move closer and closer to that object for eternity and never touch it. This is philosophical, not mathematical. I

Reply to .9 (repeating) = 1 in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Also, 9.9 repeating - .9 repeating isn't equal to 9 ( 9.9rep - .9rep =/= 9), because, then the repeating parts must be of the exact same length. But if they are of the exact same length, you can count them (countability). If you can count something, it's not repeated ad infinitum. Therefore, .9rep isn't repeated a.i. . But this contradicts with the statement made earlier that .9rep repeats a.i.. QED

Reply to Microsoft is trying to take over your computer in Microsoft WinCustomize Forums

The reason why you shouldn't take Stallman seriously is because he's always trying to tell his story about how non-free software is bad (when someone tackles his arguments he flee into a raving "it's about freedom, you are being anti-social"). If you read the piece of text carefully, you will notice how he says that it's the fault of non-free software. >>> On the other hand we know Microso

Reply to Konfabulator Coming to Windows in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

This is an interesting move, but a bit too late imho. If they released it, say, half a year earlier, they would have got more advantage from it, because they would have less concurrency from free alternatives. Another interesting thing is which platform they are going to focus on now. I highly doubt they are using a single codebase for the Windows and Macintosh releases (beware, assumption), so, naturally they have to assign more resources to the one or the other. They also hav

Reply to Blog: Drama on Aqua-Soft in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

"And Andreas - you can't have it both ways. You can't say "Well yea, Avedesk is mostly used on Aqua-Soft so most of the widgets for it are from ripped from Konfabulator or MacOS" and then complain when I point out that there isn't a heck of a lot of original artwork being made expressly for Avedesk. " Well, for one, I don't complain, I give _my opinion_ only. Two different things . Screenshots on
