Re: MultiPar

I compared the hashes of the files provided at the official web-site with those I downloaded from the unofficial mirror - they match. I don't have a reason to distrust the European mirror- it looks nicer, it is better organized, it offers RSS. I do not find anything fishy, malicious or tricky about...

Re: How do i set-up a Virtual Machine Proxy Server?

Yes this works. I use NetBSD as guest OS instead of Linux. In brief, what you need to do is set up your guest in Virtualbox with two network interfaces: the first, to the outside world, should be NAT; and the second, to your host, should be Host-only. Virtualbox assigns addresses as follows to these...

Re: DayDiff broken links

I could not find any android calculator with date mode, TOTAL CALCULATOR was the only one but I found kind of ugly the interface and I had to activate android's immersive mode to be able to see the result at the bottom of the screen. The simplest and nicest that I found was SIMPLE DATE CALCULATOR j...

Re: Linux distro for a novice

@gezley Hey, many thanks again. You gave me an excellent idea- to try several distributions in a virtual machine first. Which one you think is better- VirtualBox or VMware Player ? I know that one day I will be forced to switch to Linux but for the time being I really prefer a dual boot system so I...

Re: Linux distro for a novice

@gezley First, thank you very much for your informative post. You're welcome! I use Windows 8 right now (most of its nuisances smothered by Classic Shell- I can't Imagine using Windows without it). Same here! An outstanding contribution to my sanity over the past few years! :D Years ago I had Ubunt...

Re: Linux distro for a novice

@smaragdus: I use Windows 8.1, NetBSD and Slackware Linux. I've used Linux on and off since about 2001, and BSD more or less the same. My advice to anyone considering Linux is to aim higher than the so-called newbie distributions like Ubuntu and its derivatives. Slackware and OpenSUSE are two distri...

Re: I am looking for really good folder lock/encryption prog

Since you mentioned that the solution doesn't have to be free, I'll go ahead and offer the following suggestion. I'm not sure how other people do this, but what I do is create an encrypted RAR archive, using something like the following command-line (simplified for illustration purposes): rar.exe u ...

Re: Rsync.net Backup Agent

This is surely a rip-off of Syncovery? Program icon and window layout are exactly the same!
