Anyway, is it possible to buy the software on this site?</p> <p>Specifically, I was trying to buy eViews 6.0 (an econometrics program), but the link provided didn&#39;t work. I&#39;m more than willing to pay the $40 for the student version, but I can&#39;t afford to wait the time that it would take to fill in their order form, send it by snail mail, and then sit back and wait for the stupid program to arrive. Also, $15 for mailing a CD is rediculous. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/7943#post-82040 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 22:23:41 +0000 StevieD 82040@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>@Dragonlair, to turn off autoupdate in Opers go to PREFERENCES, select the ADVANCED tab and then the SECURITY option from the lefthand menu and the Auto Updates options are at the bottom :-) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/7943#post-81998 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 15:26:49 +0000 notblocklox 81998@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Well, this is shill posting, has been in the comments too.<br /> As it&#39;s not commercial and as the developer seems to be a GOTD friend I didn&#39;t delete it <strong>;)</strong> </p> <p>The comment of the copy and paste friend cellspydude - is deleted: it&#39;s spam under the name.</p> <p> I don&#39;t see any benefit in such an extension, but everyone to his taste :)<br /> Besides MS and Kaspersky I never allow any programme to look for updates.

First you applaud that a product updates itself and then you complain that another did it. Except for my anti-virus and Opera (which I can&#39;t find out how to turn off), NOTHING is allowed to update all on it&#39;s own. It&#39;s allowed to check (with modern computers doesn&#39;t drag much on the system) but NOT allowed to update. It must ask for my approval.</p> <p>I don&#39;t like the new Opera doing it and I would appreciate it if someone would tell me how to turn that back to &quot;ask permission&quot;. Even Windows must ask first!</p> <p>Which way are you liking - full update (behind your back) or check and ask? The third choice (which I often take) is for no check - let you check at your own selected time -- whenever you think of it or feel like it. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/7943#post-81977 Wed, 25 Aug 2010 20:08:38 +0000 ChroMe 81977@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p><a href="https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/hoagdbocpggckbnpcalkncianfndpdch?hl=en-gb#"><img src="https://chrome.google.com/extensions/img/hoagdbocpggckbnpcalkncianfndpdch/1278492032.95/screenshot/1001?hl=en-gb"></a></p> <p><a href="https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/hoagdbocpggckbnpcalkncianfndpdch?hl=en-gb#">Giveaway of the Day Chrome Extension</a> </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/7538#post-77618 Tue, 01 Jun 2010 14:12:01 +0000 Damian 77618@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p><a href="http://www.bitsum.com/pl_giveaway_registration.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.bitsum.com/pl_giveaway_registration.php</a> has been updated and gives clear instructions on how to retain your activation (DO NOT uninstall your current build!) as well as links for GOTD users to get their V3 updates (both 32 and 64 bit versions).<br /> I really hope jcollake relaxes once in a while ;) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/7538#post-77307 Sun, 23 May 2010 23:19:48 +0000 notblocklox 77307@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Jeremy Collake sent us another great message :</p> <p>#199</p> <p><blockquote><a href="http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/process-lasso/">Although the promotion has ended, I intend to offer special discounts to GOTD users who missed out on this deal.

I&#39;m neutral on this subject. From what I&#39;ve seen in the past, GOTD usually makes a blog post either when they have a plum coming up - like they did with Online Armor - or when they&#39;ve hammered out a deal with a developer who has a lot of programs to offer GOTD, like Paragon. You may have seen that Bitsum only has one other offering - an executable compressor. Jeremy may offer that. Hopefully he won&#39;t have the problem of trolls whining because it&#39;s specialized software. Anyway, I have the feeling that GOTD will just let the success of the giveaway speak for itself. Again, I&#39;m neutral. I&#39;m not sure what I would do if I were them. Hopefully, Jeremy will get some business down the road from recommendations and our members who need to upgrade or reinstall later. That&#39;s probably the best we can hope for, but, obviously, that&#39;s usually the best case scenario, anyway, when a developer has only one or two products. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/7538#post-77297 Sun, 23 May 2010 17:51:03 +0000 ⓒⓗⓘⓟ 77297@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Well don&#39;t know if the team will respond but I sure did.

The debate is whether you need to use Sun&#39;s Virtual Machine and continue to get Java updates or whether the Microsoft Virtual Machine can continue to handle all the script&#39;s it could possibly see, forever. Some people insist this is the case, but I have my doubts. But, if this machine predates SP1, then incompatibility with current Java could still be the problem. A few types of cookies are set by scripts. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6479#post-67302 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:24:14 +0000 hotdoge3 67302@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thanks but did try security privileges are set too high set all down &amp; still not work the 2 PC seem the same but cookies not work on GOTD only, I look in &amp; see loots of cookies only on GOTD not work,I click Log in go to post it say you need to log in I check HOST file is OK, No Java on my P C&#39;s </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6479#post-67300 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:33:15 +0000 watcher13 67300@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Is your Java up to date on any of those browsers? That&#39;s what sounds like your problems. Sometimes, if a site gives you a message like &quot;browser can&#39;t set script&#39;s cookies&quot; (or something like that) the problem&#39;s not with cookies but that Java is not running properly. As much as people hate Java, some sites won&#39;t run well if you&#39;re not up to date. The current version is 6.17. That&#39;s what I would suspect since you said it&#39;s an older system. Other people have fixed problems with GOTD by updating their Java.</p> <p>The only other thing is that maybe your security privileges are set too high, but I doubt that would be true of all 3 browsers. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6479#post-67259 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 00:53:57 +0000 hotdoge3 67259@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>one PC can not log in to GOTD click log in not set Cookie but set Cookies ok but not on GOTD I clean out all old Cookies not luck try with IE6 Opera Firefox XP sp3 PS this PC was a old school PC all so when the phone rings it boot up help please thanks </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6134#post-63757 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 19:25:20 +0000 ⓒⓗⓘⓟ 63757@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p><img src="http://i25.tinypic.com/2nlcku0.png"><br /> <hr /></p> <p><strong>Step 1:</strong><br /> <em>Go to <a href="http://www.gravatar.com">http://www.gravatar.com</a> and click on the button that says &quot;Get your Gravatar today!&quot;</em></p> <p><strong>Step 2:</strong><br /> <em>On the signup page enter in the email address you use for GOTD.
