General Discussion

please tell me, what are the advantages of using Portableaps.com?
why portable is better than non-portable?

sorry for my english

I liked PortableApps.com so much that I decided to spread the word and write about them.

I have also placed some of my favourite portable apps, along with some tips and troubleshooting.

HOWTO: transport your tools with PortableApps.

I would be grateful to receive any feedback on it too.
Among the troubleshooting was things I did to get Windows Vista autorunning content again after VMWare disabled it.

I was searching for a Google Chromium link and came across this....

[link to illegal software removed by mod JTH] It mentions and has a link to portableApps.com, and links to the suite, but is the name, or site for that matter, legal? Only one letter difference in the name. What do you think?

1. Take Your Programs With You

"The single best repository for free applications that can live on a thumb drive is PortableApps, a large and continually growing collection of liberally licensed open-source programs in almost any category."

Kudos to John and all the contributors to the development of PortableApps!

Okay I know please here me out before you groan. Okay my thought is a lot of time when we're doing support it's convienient to send emails especially when helping people with NSIS. The problem with this though is most of us don't want to give our email's out lightly. So on IRC I talked with Ryan and he can give devs and gurus a blah@pa-support.cubegames.net email address that you could give out freely in IRC without getting personal.

I've been thinking about a prospective new system for the organisation of the IRC channel, and here's what I think would work best.

All three sets of these users would be automatically voiced. Developers and Forum Moderators and Operators would have topic change access and Operators would have full operator access (+vVoAti).

I've had a look, and this is really easy to do, but thought I should get some thoughts on this first:

Should we prefix users from the Mibbit widget on this site with pasupport_ instead of mib_ to make it more obvious who is using it?

(Technical note: This involves just adding "&nick=pasupport_%3F%3F%3F%3F" to the end of the Mibbit URL loaded in the iframe)

hi guys, I'm new to the forum, and I wanted to post a question, one of the website I manage is from a client who wants to give something to the user who make donation to the website, and I wanted to know if is legal to give them usb with different portable application installed... I know sometime ago I came across a site that was selling the usb with linux distribution installed, but I haven' found it... anyway is this legal?...

thanks

Here's my bi-monthly post on the state of the newsletters

It has been two months since the last newsletter from PortableApps.com and a lot has happened in the meantime. I personally feel that our users have a right to know what has been happening and as such, have taken it upon myself to make an unofficial newsletter for this month. I will gladly continue to create these in the future, as I feel they help me get a summary of what has happened and it also gives the community a quick review of what has happened. If John lets me, I will post these as official newsletters.

i was just wondering if anyone knows how i can change the font color of my app names in the menu
