General Discussion

Hello
Has anyone used the new Kingston Elite-privacy USB drive with John’s programs? I like the on-the-fly encryption but don’t know how well it will work accessing numerous files such as in PTB.
Thanks
Bill

I am looking to get a new flash drive. I am looking at least 1GB, but I am open to suggestions.

I am looking for:

1. Reliability
2. Speed
3. Portable App Friendliness (not U3)
4. Capacity
5. Value/Price

I currently own a Lexar 128mb Jumpdrive, and a Geeksquad 512mb U3 (came free with the new laptop I bought 3 months ago)

I am not thrilled with U3 because of the amnount of space it seems to take up on the drive. The U3 system and the profiles it creates take up far too much space.

Any suggestions?

Ok, it looks like Drupal 4.7 should be released soon. I've been waiting for it to do some of the changes to the site I'd been planning. I know we've discussed the whole threaded vs unthreaded thing in the forums. Unthreaded is more standard, and makes it easier to see what's new. Threaded makes it easy to see what's a reply to what. Both have advantages. Both have disadvantages. Some sites us unthreaded (most bulletin board and forum sites). Some use threaded (Slashdot and other slashcode-based sites, kuro5hin, etc).

I was actually thinking of splitting the difference... a la Digg... in terms of the way comments (aka responses to forum topics) are displayed. So, each of the top-level comments would be a reply to the original post... but each reply to those would just be an unthreaded list.

Is there a portable desktop that act the a desktop with short cuts and icons?

Just wondering if anyone knows what windows theme or skin is used to get the grey/black looking windows that they use in their pictures for examples?

Well, I read many threads, but I didn't find anything with 7-z's portability.
Just want to know if it's portable, and where I can get a portable one if there is.

By the way, can anyone tell me how to create a zip with 7-z?
The official site said it supports to pack a zip, but I still don't know how to do it after checking the whole program.

How can I know if an app is portable？
Sorry, I don't know what to search for this question. /_\

Is portable app the same as green software?
Can somebody explain to me, please? orz

@John T. Haller
I tried to use an AIM link in my signature, but the forums can't handle it. The following link:

<a href="/aim:goim?screenname=fatcerberus">

...ends up linking to https://portableapps.com/goim?screenname=fatcerberus instead of aim:goim?screenname=fatcerberus.

Can you fix this? I'd like to put a clickable IM link in my signature, but this bug prevents me from doing so.
