Global proxy settings

Submitted by Wofl on October 26, 2007 - 6:34pm

Hey guys, really love all this, but is there a way to set a global proxy profile (or just global networking profiles in general)? i really dont like having to change these for every single application.
i have seen some suggest running a local proxy that then reroutes, but that seems a bit overdone...

Mozilla Prism and Webrunner

Just ran across these today. They were linked from digg.com and slashdot.org.
Looks like these packaged apps let you run the typically web-based app locally and use data from the web or run completely off-line.
What does everyone think about the usefulness of running web-based apps this way? And will there be a need to make them portable on a USB drive?

Portable Encryption

Hi

I know this has been asked quite alot(I did a search first) and read most of search results.

I am hoping maybe that since some of those topics where old and long that maybe someone has found something new.

For the last few days I been searching for an encryption program but could not find any good ones.

Simple explorer?

Anyone know of a simple Explorer replacement? When I say simple, I mean a Open dialog style one. For browsing files, I currently open Notepad++ and click File » Open to do it.

I'm planning to make a portable version of it, because it would so totally be better than using normal Explorer. If one doesn't exist, I might make one myself.

Portable voip?

Okay, I realize that both teamspeak and ventrilo are closed sourced and their license forbids their modifications... but is there anything LIKE them that can or already has been made portable?
