I've seen Windows7 upgrades and the full install packages
for sale at retail. Can you install Windows7 on a portable
hard drive ? The salesmen just don't know. My Seagate 250gb
portable hard drive might look good with a W7 install.

thx.

Hey All!

I got a question here about VMWare ThinApp 4.0.
There are alot of apps that are made with ThinApp and they are really working on each computer i visit.

But if i'm creating my own Portable App, then it won't open on other computers or directory.
It gives this error: http://aspic.tk/api/images/451462Screen0005.PNG

So,
Does somebody know how to open it on each computer?
All the files in one EXE file, that u can open on all the computers.

Hi,

I'm sure you know what happened with Sun which was adquired by Oracle, and I know you have information on what happened with OpenSolaris which in consecuence became IllumOS, some forums, IRC channels, magazines are questioning themselves about what is going to happend with OOo, mySQL, VirtualBox and other open source applications that can follow the same way OpenSolaris already took.

what do you use, besides gmail, yahoo, and hotmail (isn't there another main one?)
which ones work with POP3 (for free) and which with IMAP (also for free)?
so far the results are:

webmail:

crawler.com - not sure how i found this one, seems pretty good so far, pop only
gmail.com - 2 users
gmx.com - 2 users
hotmail.com - 1 users [pop only]
lycos.com - 1 users [no longer offers free email, no pop/imap for free]
yahoo.com - 0 users (no pop or imap support for free)

after the latest update of the resident adobe pdf reader, I am getting an error when trying to view pdf from any version of FF.

In IE all is as expected.

Did someone came acros this problem too?

I'm going through my old and worn flash drive (at last) to get ready for school, and I found that having a menu to launch programs is a pretty big drag for me, so I wrote a quick'n'simple script that you can use to create a system akin to OSX's Applications folder.
