General Discussion

Hey guys, are you aware of [Censored as requested; we do know about these thieves - mod Chris], the logo looks vary familiar, but makes no reference back to here...

I only found myself there to get a look at a portable Thunderbird beta...

Did you know that it's really hard to wipe an SSD or USB flash drive of data? The following quote is from a ComputerWorld article entitled "Can data stored on an SSD be secured?"

"USB flash drives didn't fare much better. Between 0.57% and 84.9% of the data remained on the drive after an overwrite was attempted."

Read the whole ComputerWorld article here.

The original research from UCSD is here.

Well, i hate everything being laid out in the documents folder, we should be given the option to place all the files in the same directory where Documents folder is, or at least a little more customization to how the layout of folders are.

Here is a list of AV companies, and how to contact them.
"email sent" indicates I have sent them an email asking for instructions on how to submit a FP.

nothing after the AV name indicates I haven't gotten to that one yet.

If anyone else comes across any more, I'll add them to this list.

C'è qualche italiano in giro??
possiamo iniziare a trasformare programmi anche in italian?

Sorry, don't know a better place to put this.

The link to the PA.c Installer on the main development page should probably have the version number removed, as it points to a permalink page, and in any case, is 5 versions behind.

Hello,
I'm am new to the Portable Apps (aka PA) community and I'm looking at the possibilities of the platform.
I wonder if the following usage of the PA is possible ans meaningful.

If I install the PA applications on a USB-stick and I copy the whole PA-directory to a drive of an (not trusted) PC can I use all the installed applications?
I think that will be possible. Or am I wrong?

If I used the PA in that way and I'm done with that (untrusted PC) and I delete that whole PA-directory. Is everything really gone from that PC?

In research that has important findings for banks, businesses and security buffs everywhere, scientists have found that computer files stored on solid state drives are sometimes impossible to delete using traditional disk-erasure techniques.

Every time I start the program the language has reverted, I go to change it but the next time it has reverted again.

Isn't this information saved?

Lately, more and more people are asking about donations. This is a good thing, but I think the donation page should be linked to better. Maybe from the About us page or so.
What do you think?
