I still use it and it is running right now.
Usually listening to the MP3-stream of local FM-radiostations.
(Although finding the URL for the streams can be hard to find...)
Why on earth people want to listen to radio through a webbrowser is beyond me.
Putting WinAmp in the system tray makes it go away and not take up space in the TaskBar.
So, hopefully this "new" development will not make things worse.......
A lot of complaints when there is a solution.
Move the taskbar to the side!
I have moved mine to the right (I like the clock/systray more than the Start-button) after Windows 7 came out stealing more vertical screen real-estate.
Granted, with all useless ribbon-interface and moving to 16:9 there is less and less usable vertical space.
(Not to mention all websites starting to use "fixed" in their CSS for menus......but that's for another thread)
Don't use latest version of CutePDF!!
It has some sort of adware baked into the installer nowadays that is utterly crap.

The UK is still using LNG for electricity.
I really don't understand why people bought the idea that LNG is a good thing.
It's still fossile!
On top of this, nuclear power is in the cross hairs despite having close to the lowest CO2 emission of all types.
It's also the only thing we can run 24/7 without sending wast amount of CO2 into the air.
In short scrap all "renewable" hippie-power and go all nuclear with hydro as regulating power (or buy from your neighbors)
(That said, hydro isn't the best thing either for local ecosystems)
No
Chrome's built in PDF viewer is useless for forms or others obscure scanned PDFs.
I have had to help administrations multiple times and since Chrome later not supporting Reader extensions I had to instruct them to download the PDF and THEN open them in Adobe Reader (still using the non-DC version)
Granted there are problems with Adobe Reader but to make it that difficult to launch an external program to read PDFs..............
(And not the only shenanigans that Chrome has pulled)
Well, the fact that some of the text gets obscured by a toolbar isn't the problem.
The real issue IS all the toolbars that remain in place when you are scrolling.
Who ever thought it was a good idea to steal my vertical pixels should be shot at dawn.
Even with Full HD screen there is still LESS vertical pixels than what I had 15 years ago on an old 21" 1600x1200 CRT.
"Progress" my as.
Seriously, could someone in web design please explain WHY keeping a toolbar on the top is a good idea?
Sorry, I have to ask....
How the frick do _you_ need to pay when you _receive_ calls!?!?
I have never hear of this before?
Is this a new way for telcos to steal our money?
We don't see the problem.....

If you have rights (and benefits) given by the government they also have right know who you are.
Since this is real science Edison wouldn't know anything about it.
He would however steal the idea, patent it and make money from it while the real inventor will die a poor man's death.
Edison should be known for the thief he was.
Church?
I'm way out of line here but I assumed Slashdot people were more of the non-religious types?
Anyone want to clearify? Genuinly interrested.
I might be missing the point but in the RFID access system I've seen the RFID only contains a number.
So to clone it, put a reader in the close vicinity and just record the cards.
In addition, all the access readers (magnetic strip or RFID) ALL have tripwire to detect if they are opened.
As for hotwiring the lock, any decent installer will make sure that the wires are NOT accessible from the outside.
WHY should the default be that everything (that is working) still MUST be upgraded?
Why be a member in this hamsterwheel?
THAT is the question people should ask them selves.....
Cheers,
Given http://mobile.slashdot.org/story/14/06/11/1747251/new-permission-system-could-make-android-much-less-secure wouldn't the answer be that poeple do not want to upgrade?
To clearify,
if Windows is set to not show extensions your file would be shown as $filename.doc
Random user wouldn't notice and think it is a Word document and double-click on it.
Will you guys stop this nonsense?
He will NOT be deported to the US by us.
Mostly, he hasn't been charged with ANYTHING in the US!
If he would, it cannot be a capital offence since Sweden will NOT send anyone anywhere if they face a death penalty.
He lived over a year in a country with much more ties to the US _without_ being set on a one-way plane:

One also wonders why someone that has stated fears that a ???-acronym will tempt him with women offering sex couldn't keep it in his pants?
