http://www.sianews.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=48 now the article trails on and goes off topic, it also makes alot of claims that may be very false, but i want to know if this part is true and if it is true would it really be something that couldnt be overidden?

...create an xml file (or similar) from a directory listing, including all subdirectories and files therein. I would also be happy with one that would do it to html, but it would have to be very customisable. Oh, and this is in Windows, of course. XP, if that helps. What I basically need is...

Hi. My router is a Linksys BESFR41. The Linksys configuration software does not give much information in term of traffic going through the router. The "Outgoing Access Log" gives the LAN IP, Destination URL ans Service/Port Number. The incoming Log Table gives the Source Ip and Destination Port...

I'm looking for a type of software which would allow me to map out and calculate relative differences between stars and constellations. Sorta like a Google Earth with a star chart instead of satellite pictures of the earth. I found something called Sky Charts but it's not quite what I need...

...I need some. Specifically, I need to increase the brightness/contrast in a low quality .MOV file that I took using my digital camera. If neccessary I could probably convert the file using one of the millions of free convertors. Thanks.

Okay, I admit it, I'm running Norton Antivirus 2002. It's time to junk it in favor of something better. From what I can see, there isn't anything worse, so this should be easy. What should I get? Cost no object (more or less). I'm running Windows XP Pro. ~~ Paul

I want to rip the soundtrack from a DVD so that I can listen to it without my computer. As it's only the one DVD that I want to rip, I don't want to buy any software, so I'm looking for a free trial version. The only free trial stuff I've found so far limits the length of a track you can rip...

Hey guys, I keep seeing links posted for streaming videos and links no longer working & all that, so I thought I might let you lot know about this program that I use: Stream Down - http://www.cocsoft.com/ It pretends to be like Realplayer or whatever & captures streaming video & saves it as a...

I'm about to donate a PC to my friend's kids, but first I'd like to check it's clean. I've formatted the disk and reinstalled Windows XP. I'd like to check the disk to make sure it's clean. I've tried a few tools downloaded from cnet.com but none were useful. Most had a terrible interface or...

Further to Ian's DVD traumas and Patricio's comment re buggy software, what is the best product? My version of Nero won't copy to DVD, nor will Windows (although I think that's my fault for messing around with it), but two other programs work fine. Any top tips from the ubernerds?

Musicmatch Jukebox can, but it's > 25 MB. Something handier ?

Hmmm... Have anyone used a certain software to encrypt files on your computer so that only you yourself can access the file? I´m looking for a software that can offer good protection, and I´m not looking for a free software, but a professional type. It would be very helpful to me if anyone...

Does anyone have any recommendations for blog software? Thanks

Which is better for an advanced hobbyist ? I've used Adobe Premiere Pro but it's kind of unstable and buggy (hardly a surprise for an Adobe product). So I've been thinking of migrating to Sony Vegas or Ulead MediaStudio or Canopus Edius or maybe something from Discreet (Smoke ?). Considering...

The NY Times ran an article today (Jan 22) about major software projects that have failed here (registration required). It started by citing a terrorist indentification system initiated by the FBI that they gave up on after spending $170 million. After citing other examples the OpEd piece...

What does the forum think are the best PC software packages of 2004 so far, in the usual categories (office, graphics, OS, games, etc)? I suppose Microsoft Office 2004 must claim the 'office' prize, though it's not a massive update on the 2003 version, and Service Pack 2 is an obvious contender...

Does anybody know a s/w package that will allow a pc with two network cards to redirect packets from one network to another? I've got a situation with a wireless network card that only works under '98 which needs to be connected to a linux box. The '98 pc has wired and wireless cards and simply...

I've been using the basic Nero WAV program for a small project. Although it's easy to use, it won't allow me to fade out of one track at the same time as fading in another which I really need to do. Any recommendations ?

Anyone know of any internet connection sharing software that has a real-time monitor of what sites any computer on the network is connected to?

My Symantec anti-virus is up for renewal and at first I was going to buy another years subscription but when I saw the prize I was a bit put off. 44$ for one year is a bit steep I think, I can buy a new copy of Symantec Antivirus 2004 for just a little more. So what is a viable option? I don't...

Does anyone know if there is any sound editing software where you can put the effects in (like echo for example) in real time as opposed to having to edit a saved piece of audio?

Forgive me for not knowing what else to call it. I'll post the post in it's entirety here, the original being in the obvious thread:

I mean software which you would normally be expected to pay for. Or would it necessarily always be unethical? BTW p2p means one of these file sharing utilities, such as kazaa, or eDonkey, eMule etc, so you can share files with anyone in the world. Comments please :)

I'm looking for something I can use to replicate keyboard sounds in some songs I am recording. I try to play the lines I want on my old Casio keyboard, but I have no rhythm on the keyboard like I do on the guitar.

I've been using Nero but lately it gets more and more bloated and I have also noticed some issues with latest releases... Anyway, I'd like to listen to suggestions about compact CD-recording software. Nothing really fancy. I'm also not looking for something that can make perfect 1:1 copies (I...

Plug'n Pray :D
