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/7251#post-74541 Thu, 25 Mar 2010 11:54:55 +0000 Cad Delworth CEng MBCS CITP 74541@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I already think that bbPress is one of the worst forum software &#39;drivers&#39; I&#39;ve ever used, but I didn&#39;t expect this when I clicked on the RSS button in a topic:<br /> <code>error on line 10 at column 50: Entity &#39;raquo&#39; not defined</code><br /> Obviously this is due to the forum software&#39;s abuse of the quotation mark » (right double-angle quotation mark, used in many European countries as such).</p> <p>So, my obvious question: can this please be repaired so that I can use the RSS feeds here without my browser barfing on your XML?</p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p> <p>PS: In the Tags box on a New Topic Post, you have misspelt &#39;separated&#39; as &#39;sep<strong>e</strong>rated.&#39; </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1524#post-45613 Sun, 16 Nov 2008 12:14:17 +0000 Whiterabbit-uk 45613@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Does anyone still use Wirechanger?

Are you 'talking' to the right person, or did you answer my email sent before your op, which, if you did, I never got? I am going to send you an email over the next couple of days, this time, bear with me, we have had some hideous weather, and often I can't get on the net and when I do, I get kicked off again within a few minutes. The joys of living out in the backblocks! So, I will use a different email address this time, in case you did reply before.</p> <p>Anyway, a couple of the links to good wallpaper sites:</p> <p><a href="http://www.emmir.mylivepage.ru/tags/wallpapers?page=0" rel="nofollow">http://www.emmir.mylivepage.ru/tags/wallpapers?page=0</a><br /> (the russian(?) site I mentioned. To give you an idea, I am up to page 139 in my downloading, and I'm still going.

I download a lot of images from the net, and find that what I have already downloaded, is often written over and therefore, gone forever. I now know to make a backup of my WireChanger wallpapers as soon as I have downloaded them, or as soon as WireChanger downloads one on its own. Although, I notice now, that with 2000 wallpapers in my wallpaper file, WireChanger obviously thinks I have got enough images, and doesn't download any on its own. Instead, I get daily reminders about swapping images with their online database (Outer Station).</p> <p>I don't use all the widgets though, like you do, I like to see a clean desktop with a beautiful landscape on it being changed regularly, often while I listen to music or play windowed games.</p> <p>If you are interested in a Russian(?) site with thousands of beautiful images free for downloading, let me know and I will paste the url in this thread. I googled "high quality free wallpapers" and was amazed how many I came up with. I also have a British site that I check daily for images.</p> <p>Have you tried Vombashots? They have some beautiful images too, and I download them into Wirechanger. I am also a member of Webshots (nearly NZ$50 per year) but their images have to be downloaded into their own program on your desk. I have about 7000 photos from there.</p> <p>While I am talking to you Whiterabbit, thank you heaps for the detailed information you provide on the games, I don't download until I have read what you think of the program, and I really appreciate your input.</p> <p>All the best </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1524#post-9397 Sun, 12 Aug 2007 11:34:14 +0000 Whiterabbit-uk 9397@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>This has got to be one of my favorite downloads from the giveaway project. I decided to purchase it because it's given me pleasure every day since getting it. The features enable you to put the zest back into your desk top, with a controllable interface that allows you to specify how often your desk top changes. Many add-on’s and widgets that include note lets, RSS feeds, calendars a selection of hundreds (nearly) of clock styles plus many more things. You can add a kaleidoscope engine that produces some of the most fantastic patterns as well as a fractal generator and other special effects. You have access to thousands of images from an online database. i've downloaded many images from the Hubble site, which when adjusted using the many widget, creates some outstanding wallpapers. (yeah, there's a wallpaper generator too) </p> <p>When I purchased ‘wirechanger’ I accidentally ordered ‘wirekeys’ instead. When I discovered my mistake I emailed the support address and received a reply within the day, with a new activation key for ‘wirechanger’ and a note to say keep the ‘wirekeys’ program as well.</p> <p>It's not an application that I would have ever thought of buying until having the opportunity to get the full version free. It doesn't have important uses such as many of the computer health and tweaking programs, or the many converters that have been offered. But it has been the most used and enjoyed by me program after downloading 100's of programs since late November 06.</p> <p>I look forwards to seeing future upgrades, (one of the reasons I decided to buy it) especially new widgets and more beautiful free images.</p> <p>It was mentioned in the forums that this application is offered free (that is a registration code is given away), when you complete the game Amulet of Tricolor which was given away on the 11th August. I don't know whether this is true, but if I finish the game I will definitely let you know via this thread. </p> <p>Check the comments section for additional information by following the link:</p> <p><a href="http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/wirechanger/#comments" rel="nofollow">http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/wirechanger/#comments</a></p> <p>or check out Bladed Thoth's 15 minute review:</p> <p><a href="http://www.bladedthoth.com/reviews/15mrs/wirechanger-v3-6-5/" rel="nofollow">http://www.bladedthoth.com/reviews/15mrs/wirechanger-v3-6-5/</a></p> <p>I would say some of his 'cons' are a little pernickety. Although the twin monitor problems are a valid point, but I don't use a dual monitor, so it's not important. With respect to the bugs he mentions. I've not had any bugs (that I’ve been aware of since running this application (over 10 weeks. The only negative thing I would say about the program is the save facility for generated wallpapers. I’ve often been playing a game or working on something when the ‘save screen’ has appeared; which is sometimes at the most inopportune moments, usually disturbing me from my concentration, or destroying a critical moment in a game. </p> <p>It would be nice to see the developer adding an auto save function. The newly generated wallpapers can always be deleted at a later time. Also, when the wallpaper has been generated and the save screen pops up; you don't actually have a choice unless you close the application down totally. This aspect of the program also needs to be fixed. Perhaps have a settable option, so that the save screen pops up at a set time/s.</p> <p>Still even with those imperfections, this software is well worth the $20 asking price </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1477#post-9035 Mon, 30 Jul 2007 00:00:14 +0000 BigThunder1 9035@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Your welcome Greg. ;) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1477#post-9034 Sun, 29 Jul 2007 23:55:52 +0000 Gguitar 9034@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thanks everyone for the info....Greg </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1477#post-9033 Sun, 29 Jul 2007 22:56:48 +0000 BuBBy 9033@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Without having downloaded or looked at the program...
