General Discussion

I was wondering if anyone had done any research into the wear that applications like firefox would have on a flash drive. I know that these drives have a write limit so I'm just wondering how often a web-browser would write to the drive since it's caching the temporary internet files on the drive itself.

Here's what I found to be a relatively easy way to sync my drive with a backup folder on my home PC.

Software you'll need:
SyncBack - I've got 3.2.1 and it's not entirely portable (profiles stored locally), but then I'm only backing up on my home PC anyway
PStart-(or launcher equivilant [if there was one;)...]
Optional

For those who don't want to take the time to write any code, here is a very simple and effective close all and auto eject.

You will need the great little app "Command line process utility" available from here (scroll to near bottom of page for .zip dl):
http://www.beyondlogic.org/consulting/processutil/processutil.htm

Put it in its own folder in your PortableApps folder. Now open a text editor (Notepad) and type in the processes you want to close, in the following format: [note: "-k"=kill / "-q"=close]
"E:\PortableApps\CMDLprocess_utility\Process.exe" -k winamp.exe

Yes, I know this was addressed many times, but I couldn't find an answer to my question elsewhere. I had recently looked on the Mozilla site for a manual configuration technique for Java, and found:

Workaround if Java is not detected - Advanced

On most systems, the Java plugin files will be detected via plugin scanning if the
required registry entry exists (see above) and the currently-installed versions of
the Java plugins will appear in the about:plugins listing. There may be some cases
where Java is not detected unless the Java "np.dll" plugin files are copied from

Not sure where to post this, but

Is it possible to have an RSS feed to the forums as well as the latest apps releases ?

Cheers

My Mcafee version is 8.0i and it was updated yesterday, virus definition is 5150, created on 10.26. While opening some portable apps such as putty, audacity, mcafee will alert that registry.dll is a virus "Generic StartPage.r", The file is located in temp folder. I believe it is used to save and restore registry settings and does mcafee make a mistake?

Hi all,

there are some threads in the forum about this, but I miss numbers in them. People write 'fast', 'slow', but I'd like to know about the speed of the different models in a more precise way.

For example, for my two 2Gb keys, HDTune gives the following values:

HD Tune: Intuix U3 2Gb
-----------------------
Transfer Rate Minimum : 3.1 MB/sec
Transfer Rate Maximum : 12.4 MB/sec
Transfer Rate Average : 12.1 MB/sec
Access Time : 0.4 ms
Burst Rate : 11.8 MB/sec
CPU Usage : 15.5%

HD Tune: Oki 2GB
----------------

If portable apps USB drive is used on Japanese PC, does it open in English or Japanese? Any clues appreciated. Thank you.
