General Discussion

I've started to teach myself C++, went out bough the book and all that fun stuff. But I haven't found a good compiler for it. I need a free, not necessarily open source C++ compiler. Does Visual C++ compiler make it's app need the .net framework? If not I can use that if there's nothing else.

Today I read in the new Media Markt advertisement paper that they sell a Emtec 8 gb usb drive "incl. OpenOffice-package and Internetbrowser etc."

I got suspicious and wondered what package they are referring to cause it didnt say U3 nor any other known alternative so I searched for the drive on their website and found this.

I have access at one location to an old computer running Windows 98 SE. When I try to use the latest Firefox Portable (v 3.0) it won't load but the older v.2.x did. Can anyone explain why? Is V 3.0 only for Win XP and Vista?

I had 2 ideas that I thought might be good ideas to incorporate into the next PAM release. so here they are.

1 along with the Documents, music, and photos folders could a folder for Portableapps be added? maybe make it optional.

Also would there be a way to set a Personal folder right under the rest of the folders, that the user could set the path to, and set their own personal icon for it.

so that If I want to set a personal folder documents\homework\intro to programming

Has anyone else had problems with the PortableApps RSS feed not updating in Firefox 3? I have seen this on my work computer and home computer. I have to right click and "Reload Live Bookmark" in order to get the latest.

Never had this problem before with FF 2.0.0.14. If anyone knows a solution, please post.

Thanks.

I'm wondering, are you paying to Sourceforge for hosting your apps there? Or they are doing it for free? Just curious.

I don't know i always have problem downloading apps here.
I need a platform, ClamWin ,Sumatra PDF,OpenOffice.org these three things.
If anyone would like to help me, would you please download it and put into a zip file or rar file then send that zip file or rar file to a online storage site and then post that link here.
Thank you so much!

Does anyone out there know of an extension or plug-in that would add the functionality of viewing and editing an address book file in Firefox portable or Sunbird portable? I think the Thunderbird address book is a .mab file.

I use Thunderbird for my e-mail client at home but using Thunderbird portable isn't really practical for me. I really didn't want to load Thunderbird portable just for the access to my address book.
