Hello everybody, I am new here, so it's possible You already have heard this question dozens of times, but at least You could send me to the right zone of the forum or just answer here.

I can't count how many times I've missed a user looking for support by only a few minutes.

Recently, I've done a lot of developing on IRC bots, and I think it's possible to have GizmoBot (or a different bot) ping developers when someone with pa_*** joins the channel.

Block apps to use internet

Submitted by farat_as on August 7, 2012 - 11:24am

Hi,

I dont want to use all portable apps (except apps which needs connection: Iron, Firefox, Skype, uTorrent...) to use my internet connection. Because some of them are checking for updates automatically, some of them sends datas to their servers (for statistic), some of them redownload their advertisement banners and for some security reasons.

On Windows 7 (I did not test for older versions of Windows) if you have not disabled Windows default Firewall you can block any app you want with this command:

Portabilize any program with a single click with PAPF

PAPF: PortableApps.com portable Platform by Fabio
Make ANY application portable with a single click!

I joined three Open Source softwares:
- PortableApps.com Platform
- JauntePE
- Run95

And guess what came out? A platform that automatically portabilizes any application without modifying Win registry or local Hard Disk, only your pendrive.

Returned from the dead. [¬º-°]¬

Work has blocked not only Portableapps but sourceforge as well. so i have been on there and at home there is a DNS routing issue to portableapps.com. this makes me very sad (╥﹏╥).

I will be around in the chat a bit more often. for some reason the irc channel no longer lets me auto join and its taken me this long to realise it. Took a finding of an OliverK and the crazy need to poke some ol' peers to remind me to manualy join.(*・)σσσ(*゜Д゜*) ~ No Poking the Gizmobot!!!!!

Later!

I need a file format which has these features:

*Rar support all of them but rar compressions does not supporting by peazip or 7zip.

*Zip format supports the second feature but does not support the first.
