    Best Desktop Email Client?

    For Thunderbird, have you tried messing with the Synchronization and Storage section in the account's settings? There's a setting right at the top for controlling messages. Also make sure you have "allow windows search to search messages" unchecked in preferences or Thunderbird will create a...

    Mozilla Stops Firefox 64-bit Development

    Thunderbird has the same problem of course. The 64-bit windows version is slower and less stable. Also, Enigmail extension doesn't work on 64-bit because there's no 64-bit Gpg4win (or a wrapper to wrap the 32-bit one), so no reason to make a 64-bit version of the extension. (The extension isn't...

    DVD Ripping software

    http://makemkv.com/ is super simple. You get an MKV file that you can play. If you ever need an ISO, you can search for an MKV -> ISO converter. Another option is RipIt4Me + DVD Decrypter + DVDShrink + FixVTS will work for most too. You can choose to end up with a folder of files or an ISO...

    Web Browser Grand Prix: Chrome 20, Opera 12, Firefox 13

    A few things to note about Opera: 12.00 was tested. With 12.02 that was just released, for the 32-bit version, Opera reverted from out-of-process plug-in handling back to in-process plug-in handling due to lots of users experiencing performance and stability problems. The 64-bit version still...

    Outlook 2007, IMAP - Delete crosses out e-mail message instead of delete

    With IMAP, a delete action means to add the \Deleted flag to the message. Clients show messages marked as \Deleted in different ways. In Outlook and Outlook Express, they're crossed out. Same for Thunderbird. In Opera's built-in mail client, they're hidden from view and shown in "All...

    Firefox 13 available at mozilla's ftp

    In addition, install the latest trunk x64 build from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/ and let Firefox update all the time. Then, you have the latest and greatest. And, if you have any problems with a nightly build, you can just load the stable Firefox for a bit...

    mp3 ripping

    Used to use eac with lame. But, I just use foobar with lame now. Both eac and foobar can lookup the cd database to automatically name (and tag when you convert) your tracks for a CD. In foobar, you just select all the tracks you want in the list, right-click the selection, goto tagging and...

    email client

    Above the message list in Thunderbird (15.0a1, latest trunk at least) is a Quick Filter button. When you click it, it drops down a little bar (that stays there unless you click the Quick Filter button again) where you can type in a search field. You do not have to press enter in it. It's...

    web browser that supports hardware graphics acceleration?

    Firefox supports it. Chrome supports it. (See chrome://flags for extra acceleration stuff you can turn on. Chrome doesn't accelerate everything by default as some of it is buggy.) IE supports it. Opera 12 supports it. Hardware acceleration is used to accelerate the whole UI and everything...

    IE Reclaims Lost Ground in Browser Battle

    I use Opera as my main browser but for Firefox, I always use the latest trunk builds and just let it constantly update for each new build. I absolute love it. I get the latest and greatest. Firefox trunk builds don't break that much surprisingly. They just pretty much work. For Chrome, I do...

    What’s The Worlds Most Popular Internet App?

    I use email constantly. Absolutely love it. I check all of my account's with Opera's built-in mail client. I have ~100,000 messages atm. But, that's a tiny amount compared to a lot of users. I pull in all kinds of feeds and messages from mailing lists too. I just wish more people would learn...

    Free one-click mp3 enhancer?

    You want this done without the program decoding to wav, fixing the audio, re-encoding it as mp3, all while not losing any quality? All that's usually done on the wav file before it's encoded as an mp3. For volume normalization (well not normalization exactly, but leveling), there are...

    How are file types interpreted in browsers?

    In Opera, it goes by the mime type it gets from the server (or extension for local files). In "Ctrl + F12 -> advanced -> downloads", you can configure the handler for each mime type (the default application is gotten from the registry). You can also add extensions to a mime type's list. So...

    Silverlight 5, finally IE x64 really usable

    On a side, Opera now has an experimental 64bit version for Windows and Mac (there have been 64bit versions for linux and bsd for a while). Plug-ins load out-of-process with 64bit and 32bit plug-in wrappers. Plug-ins can crash without crashing Opera. This also means you can use 32bit plug-ins...

    Opera CTO: Kill the Browser Scroll Bar

    Opera CTO: Kill the Browser Scroll Bar

    But note that it doesn't replace CSS. It uses some new stuff in CSS (in a way that can still be parsed by current CSS parsers, Support for the new types just needs to be added as far as parsing goes.) I've tried the build at < http://labs.opera.com/news/2011/10/19/ >. It's pretty cool. You...

    Opera CTO: Kill the Browser Scroll Bar

    In the latest 12.00 snapshot, Opera supports Hardware acceleration and WebGL. HWA is only done with OpenGL so far, but DirectX (on WinXP even) will also be supported. The acceleration is still a little buggy and needs optimization, but they're working on it. Further, Opera's HWA will...

    Opera CTO: Kill the Browser Scroll Bar

    In Opera, you can disable the scrollbars via "Ctrl + F12 -&gt; Advanced -&gt; Browser". For Right-to-left pages, the scrollbar automatically switches to the the left side. But, you can disable that by going to "opera:config#RTL%20Flips%20UI".

    C++ stringstream class

    Readability is about the same between using a string and a stringstream. With stringstream (you can use just ostringstream in your case as you only have to shove stuff into it), you have all the data in the stream and then you have to use .str() which creates a copy of that data as a string...
