I keep all kinds of bookmarks. Interesting articles, threads that soon disappear, subjects where I have responded. It's kind of nice to clear that all away once in a while by doing a re-install of the OS. I only have the 20 or 30 that I regularly follow and it's easy to add them back in with SSDS putting them in the clipboard for me. Just paste - Alt/tab - next - Alt/tab - paste and they are back on.
So do I and they are kept in sync across all the computers I use by Firefox anyway, if I set up a new machine I can have all my bookmarks, browse history, saved passwords etc. synced within a minute - all by logging in. No effort and no alt+tab paste needed. Plus Firefox allows me to store the bookmarks in an easy to understand hierarchical structure and I can search them from Firefox anyway. If a bookmark is no longer relevant then I just delete it, no need to reinstall an OS to manage my bookmark.If I want to save an article or similar I just go to File->Save and it is saved, no effort required and the resultant copy is fully searchable from WDS as well.

Not having to worry about viruses and the technicalities of all the software one must master is the biggest benefit of SSDS. Learn this one simple computer program in a couple hours and you are free from the Geeks. You won't need them anymore. You'll be able to do video, pics, audio and text with the best of the Swampies.
SSRR doesn't prevent viruses in the slightest so this is another false claim.SSRR is also for more complicated and technical that the existing software people use, most modern software aims to be user friendly with functionality that is easy to use and discover; SSRR requires people to memorise undocumented sequences of randomly named commands while also limiting themselves to only working with ASCII text, image files and video files.
Several times now I have attempted to use SSRR and every time I have encountered problems and limitations, I have never yet had you explain the results it produces or even suggest a better way - this means I can only assume there is no easier way than the convoluted and complicated methods I have been using. This is far too complicated for any normal user, the only reason you find it easy is because you wrote it for yourself and have made it work in a way that suits you and your way of doing things.

Yeah but does it have random random? Display random lines from a random e-mail you got once in the past? No it doesn't. Because Microsoft is just not good enough to do that. But with SSRR it can be done!! I love this search.

I'm using Linux, viruses aren't really an issue there.
I can see why you are sooo angry. Can't use the most powerful program on the Planet. Go do a landfill rescue for an old useful PC. Maybe get a Win 7 phone and be the first test site!!
All this time and a Linux user. You are surely the SSDS deprived.

Slight point of interest here, the Win 7 phones are not going to support VB5 - that will make testing SSRR on a Win 7 phone a very short experience.@SpectateSwamp said:

Killer App for Win phone 7 - SSDS

4 Hours to knowing SSDS
@RHuckster said:
No, thanks. If I wanted to keep my favorite sites portable I'll just take my laptop with me. And beyond that if I really want to ensure my favorite URLs can be accessed from any computer, I'll just use a web site portal or something.
I keep a lot more than URL's. I keep google search strings. I list "Ideas". I keep phone numbers just in case my new phone runs SSDS.
@RHuckster said:
Do you really think saving passwords in plaintext is a good idea?
If I was worried about the passwords I'd put them at the end of a big big file that only SSDS can search. But I'm not. I just don't want them all to be the same PW.
@RHuckster said:
Wait, so the stuff that you want to preserve for a lifetime because you're the virtual equivalent of A&E's Hoarders vanishes after you reboot? What is the point?! Do you seriously keep adding and adding URL's to some arbitrary list and making some of them favorites as you go along? Seriously... WHO ELSE IN THE WORLD DOES THAT?!!!
Pretty well any news or entertainment article; where I read the comments. I'll add to my favorites. Why not. They will be at the bottom of the list. When you get hundreds of these temp favs it becomes hard to find the important ones. I can use SSDS to find my faves and they eventually get cleared away every couple months when I backup and restore my system and data. Sorta like spring cleaning.
@RHuckster said:
Ok... I don't think any of us have ever gotten an answer from you, so I'll ask again: Why do you save screen captures of forum threads instead of just saving them as HTML or plain text? The only text you are saving that is searchable is the subject of the post! What if you forgot what the subject of the post was and you were asking yourself, "Hmm... which post was it where I was showing the folks at TDWTF how I save forum posts as images?" You'd search something like "catalogue the screen captures of this forum" and get nada. Zip. Zilch. Because your SSDS, as amazing as you say it is, doesn't read the text off of images. If you had saved the text of the forum post somewhere, *then* you'd have a better chance at finding it. I don't understand why you don't understand this simple concept.
Those jpg files will be around a lot longer than this forum and the version of browser that will support it. No fuss, no muss, very simple & permanent
@RHuckster said:
My laptop does everything. Having your data on a USB stick makes it pretty sharable. At least on any PC. And you just don't have the features that SSDS has. And we aren't even talking about the real killer app part of SSDS --- VIDEO.Know what I use for music? My iPod. So much more portable than SSDS. I don't have to keep a computer turned on just to listen to it.
Know what I use for pics? Facebook. So much more sharable than SSDS.
@RHuckster said:
I also save copies of the music and photos on my hard drive as backup. Do you do backups, Spectate? If your computer ever encounters some kind of permenant hard drive failure, I'd hate to see how you'd react.
I'm pretty well backed up now. I burn DVD's of any important video and copy the lesser important videos to DVD's when I need the space. A quick drag and drop of the rest of my data to an external USB stick keeps me secure.
Yup In 4 HOURS. I could take a computer novice and show him/her how to use this software to make their computer life simple. No viruses to worry about when your stuff is backed up. Only one folder that you are ever interested in. An extremely limited spectrum of software you have to learn. Paint, notepad and SSDS. Be free to do video like no other PC user. Swampies do video.

Those jpeg files are unsearchable however and you need multiple to save a long page which makes reading harder. There is probably just as much chance of jpeg support eventually fading away as there is of HTML support stopping.@SpectateSwamp said:

You haven't managed to explain anything properly in over a year so there is no chance of you teaching a non-technical person anything.

Oh, that's right, I forgot about that thread from 2 years ago. You still have this crazy notion that you can protect passwords by putting them at the end of a "big big file" (e.g. a 1.5Gb text file) because GDS, WDS, and all the other desktop searches choke on such a huge file, yet SSDS can retreive the passwords perfectly fine.
Even if that were true (which you've been proven false numerous times, and stubbornly ignore), storing your passwords at the end of a huge file is a major security risk because guess what? If you lose your USB drive or anything else that someone else can recover, they can still stumble upon them using SSDS or even Notepad!

By saving the page to disk, you ensure that if this forum dies and even if the whole Internet dies, you still have the page on your disk.
Plus, HTML and CSS has reached a level of maturity that will hold on for decades. Sure, HTML 5 and CSS 3 are taking hold, but they haven't deprecated much, if anything, from the current versions and browsers will always be able to support them, just as Firefox 3.5 still supports a web page I once found that hasn't been updated since 1995.
@SpectateSwamp said:

Not as sharable as Facebook. I uploaded pics from a trip the other day, and within 5 minutes I got a response from someone who lives on the other coast, followed by another comment 30 minutes later from someone 20 miles from my house. There's no friggen way a USB stick could do the same thing. Are you seriously suggesting I buy a $10-$40 USB stick, shove my pics in them, mail it to my friend in Seattle, wait a week or two to get the USB stick back with a note, then mail them to my other friend 20 miles away, wait another while for it back, then repeat for all my other friends? That's typical SSDS-boondoggle insanity.
@SpectateSwamp said:

Omg, I think you are improving. Years ago you didn't even think people needed notepad, but now you finally have accepted the fact that you need more than just SSDS.

By saving the page to disk, you ensure that if this forum dies and even if the whole Internet dies, you still have the page on your disk.
Even if the Internet and all browsers ceased to be it would be fairly trivial to create a tool that could display a HTML file in a nice, human-readable way i.e. a rudimentary browser for locally stored HTM.

There are two possibilities:
-
The guy is not well, if so why are you responding to him, obviosly you won't get anything completely coherent from him and making fun of retarded people gets old quickly.
-
The guy is trolling, this is verly unlikely but.. if so you are empowering him by taking him seriosly.
I suppose he is some sort of an icon for this place as is the crappy post editor and crappy loading time when you are registered (drop the tags already!), but come on people, enough is enough.
All his threads can be resumed in he making a ramdom claim, you disproving/bashing him, he ignoring/making ramdom comment/non funny wordplay and the cycle continues.
So please...

I would have thougth that linux users would love this, it has every ingredient that makes the average linux software: poor gui, having to know how this works and sometimes adding funtionality, open source, free, text commands, extremely configurable stuff, recompiling, dead funtionalities, etc.
Its linux in a nutshell, so if this is ported, it will fit right in with the other great software that linux have.

I'm getting a bit tired of the whole OS thing, really. Discuss specific problems, sure, but do it concisely, and don't worm in a "by the way, my OS does that better".
I use XP because I'm not upgrading yet and because practically every piece of software I use and like, and nearly every game worth mentioning is on Windows— exceptions granted.
-
Windows is not perfect, far from it, but neither is linux. The main problem with linux is that to do common stuff, like setting a ring of virtual machines (used vmware) you actually have to think and even use the command line, I'm used to this but the linux comunity definition of retarded user (aka normal person) has problems with it. Yes they do, they don't want to use the command line, they want to click and everything just magically happens..
Now errors, are they not cryptic in linux? last time I checked yes, also why on earth regular person want to understand error, to fix the problem themselves, no they don't. Those are for the people that made the software to understand and fix.
This is the biggest problem here at least in my eyes, if you are not smart enough then linux is not for you, wtf, I would have thought that the more the merrier and if somebody doesn't understand or find it too hard then lower the bar so that he/she can use it, I'm aware of distros like Mint that make it look like windows but they copy the wrong stuff, the fluff, not the thing that matters, usability, software support, drivers support, development tools, etc. Now some of this stuff is beyond the linux community control but some of it is, linux has come a long way, so please go a step further and become an actual threat so that MS has to make a really good effort, is a win-win.
Primitives to draw... a non issue since.. well I never used vista but at least not on win7 (I dislike it personally but is a hopeless battle, sooner or later I will need to upgrade)
So I heard linux will be getting directx support soon, I suppose late is better than never as OpenGL is.... so perhaps games and other stuff can run without Wine now.

Random Random is SwampSpeak for "Out of a given set of media files (audio, video, images, or text), select one at random and display / playback a random segment of that file."

How so? Won't games still depend on WinAPI? I mean, Game devs already support Non-DirectX platforms, just not Linux.
Also, I love how Microsoft added their own little Unix to Windows, and called it "PowerShell". Extra fun is that PowerShell runs in .NET, and the scripting language is basically a shell version of PHP. I find that extremely funny.

Actually, I'm legally getting Windows for free from my school, have Windows 7 installed since before launch, and am using it to play games. I played Portal about a half year ago when it was free (better late than never, right?). But, I am DEFINITELY NOT running SSRR on that machine. Except maybe on a fresh VM inside Linux. It's most likely full with AIDS.

Also, imitating is the single more important evolutionary brain skill there is, without it we would be apes so everytime I see MS or other company copying stuff, I said good for them if they make it work, so...

Well, one reason I love linux is that if something bothers me enough that I don't want to "be damned to use for eternity", I can fix it myself, or find someone else who can. A far better companion for an eternity in hell than an OS where I am beholdened to a single corporation for improvements. It is a part of human nature to want to make things better and should be expected for any product.

Yes but to what extend can you or somebody do this, also if stuff was that easily fixable then a lot of people that have linux like myself wouldn't had to have windows to compensate for the lacks of the first and vice versa. This is the wrong approach as the experience out of the box is the most important for most users. One of the things that doomed Vista was this.
I see with good eyes that companies like Ubuntu are trying to make money out of this and setting stuff in motion in the small/medium bussiness sector, if they fixed some of their stuff that is not up to standard and avoid getting sued, then perhaps we will see better days for both windows and linux.
PS: Also I'm not trying to make an OS war out of it, it just rakes me in the wrong place and I get fairly emmotional with things I care, if stuff I said came out wrong then I apologize.

@serguey123 said:

If you can't do this, and you can't find somebody and pay them to do so, then that is the same as not being able to pay Microsoft or Apple to do the same. If they did solve such a problem, then buying their OS is compensating them in the same sense that I described before. My statement isn't Linux-only, it is just that Linux allows me to seek alternative parties to address my qualms.

Well, it seems that you found a solution that suits your needs by -- presumedly -- dual-booting or a VM. My needs are different, and other people's needs are different from both of us. So I make different recommendations for different needs.
@serguey123 said:

Agreed, and the OOTB experience for me was best handled by Linux. The OOTB experience for someone like my mother is best suited by Windows. Different needs, different tools.

It would also help to realize that the world is not necessarially made up of 'us' and 'thems' and that nobody is really threatened by somebody using an OS that is different from their own. Champion the OS that you like, and strive to improve it any way you can as this is the way that technology improves for everybody. OSes are tools, not religions.

You just don't understand. Part of me is laughing and part of me is sobbing in pity. You denounce these other people of being know-it-alls when you yourself have been promoting this SSDS like it's a deity. You claim you have friends here, but pretty much every single response to your posts are criticisms of your product and your belief system. The only difference between us and other forums is we haven't closed or removed any of your threads or banned you.
Why don't you get it? Nobody here likes SSDS. Everybody here is laughing at you. You are a joke.

Re: Silverlight forums called out - Can't share video like this... They can share it online with an easy to use interface.
@SpectateSwamp said:
Even by your own standards you are showing less and less idea of anything at all. Do you really even know what silverlight is?Maybe not even an hour. If it is a forum of Know-It-Alls crossed with Too Goodies then They'll hate this simple way to share video and all your other digital assets / knowledge. Nope they won't like that at all. I'll just poke around this SilverLight forum and see who is the big big gunner. Attacking the mods will get you gone. Yup that should work.
And why would I want to split my forum time with them when all my friends are here.
How you feel a USB stick is a better way to share video compared to silverlight's ability to do HD streaming and dynamically adapt to the connection rate is beyond me. How you feel your manually maintained index is a better way to locate videos and pictures compared to something like the free pivot control for silverlight is a total mystery.

Be the Swampling
Put yourself as the Copy writer for SSDS promotions. Help by sharing "your knowledge on knowledge sharing". By pushing the video capabilities and challenging all others..
All the *swampies should give it a go. Not too bizarre and not too braggartly.
Eg
. The Killer of Killer Apps for Windows Phone 7 is this video player
. 200,000 apps don't trump 1 Single BIG Feature "Video"
. Cool flash page of 3 Medicine Stones (or flash video) Add your own...
. http://www.telusplanet.net/public/stonedan/dbp0312.jpg
..
.I know the bestest Swampies could come up with something interesting.
P.S. how about somebody calling the SilverLight big gunners over here. We'll take them on. Won't we?

Any modern phone can play videos, the Windows 7 phone will not run SSRR - what is your point?

TRWTF is that anybody expect a point or common sense out of this guy after so long. He has a random comment generator in his head, the fact that sometimes his comments make sense is pure chance.

I find your statement that you've seen posts of his that make sense to be as ludicrous as his statements that he found dino skins in the swamp. Please tell me where these comments are.
Also, I don't think anyone is looking for a point or common sense anymore. We're simply responding to him for the lulz. I rarely do this for threads like this, but for some reason Spectate has us (and others here) riled up. I can't speak for anyone else, but although I express anger towards him, I'm really not angry, or even frustrated. I'm rather perplexed that he can keep this up for so long, troll or not. Every new post of his prompts me to take another 5 minute break from my work just to be entertained again.

They don't make perfect sense but when you compare them with the usual comments, they appear to come from a barely sane human being and the fact that we and others care for what he does and says even if it is for laughts is a win for this guy. Also he has several pages dedicated to him that don't say very nice things about him but is better than nothing in some cases (there is no such thing as bad publicity). Is funny how Cervantes words from "The Lawyer of Glass" fit when he said that society cared more for the crazy than the sane.
A totally crazy people would not be able to generate this effect, some coherence is needed.

Windows XP ships with WP7
@spenk said:
SSDS is the killer app. Maybe getting SSDS to run on WP7 won't be that bad. Has anybody tried it? Why would MS screw the OS so bad that nothing old would run. For gods sake ship it with FREE Windows XP.. Windows Phone SEVEN needs SSDS. None of these modem phones will do random - slow motion - freeze frame -- right there in your hand. The network can't beat that. No way. Impossible.@SpectateSwamp said:

FTFY.
@SpectateSwamp said:

Yes, it will.
@SpectateSwamp said:

Unless you do so, nobody ever will.
@SpectateSwamp said:

They don't, but SSRR doesn't even work properly on Windows XP (no, crashing on the first run still isn't a feature).
@SpectateSwamp said:

Come to think of it, this would be a nice experiment. Give out a free XPRR version which only differs from WinXP by including SSRR. My bet is that ~99.999999986%* of all people would still rather buy XP than get XPRR for free.
@SpectateSwamp said:

No.
@SpectateSwamp said:

Wrong. They might not do Random Random™, but no one except you wants to have that.
@SpectateSwamp said:
slow motion -
Most likely wrong. They might not do Super Slow Motion™, but no one except you wants to have that.
@SpectateSwamp said:
freeze frame -- right there in your hand.
Again, most likely to be wrong. I'd guess Windows Phone will include a mostly full-featured version of WMP, which has all these features. After all, SSRR uses WMP.

Yes, it- wait, what? What network? What are you talking about?

As for "where these comments are." A good many were in the Video forums where I got banned and my posts erased. I was being nice there. I hardly bragged at all. Made friends etc.
as for "keep this up for so long, troll or not" Sharing knowledge takes time. Look at how much more you know about Video now. Most were so dumb but not anymore. This Thread proves it's possible to get by "knowing very little about computers" and having superior Video access through SSDS. It's true.
Access to video knowledge knowing next to nothing. Pure simple.

Bad once - Good forever SSDS
@derula said:

Only if you upload just the search.exe and run it. I load the "2nd" run file set on any USB flash drive. So basically it will run bad once then forever be OK. Don't let that scare you away from the program DerulaSwamp

Well, here's your chance to shine, Spectate. I probably haven't seen these video posts (I've seen a few, but not all). If you believe SSDS is so good at sharing, and knowing you save every single one of your correspondance with everybody, whether by email or discussion forum, use SSDS to *share* these "sensible" video posts with me, and show that you made friends and didn't brag.
@SpectateSwamp said:

Everything you've showed me I knew already:
I already knew taking video of clouds and rocks is worthless.
I already knew that videoing my computer monitor is a method of demonstrating computer features, but is not the best way.
I already knew you can better analyze your golf swing by playing it back in slow motion.
I already knew that shooting video of trapping movies might attract the authorities.
All this I knew before SSDS. So, no, you haven't showed me anything new.

It will need to be rewritten in something other than VB5, you keep telling us how easy and portable it is so go on - port it to silverlight.@SpectateSwamp said:

Because it is an entirely different OS, running on entirely different hardware with entirely different needs and features. Plus how on earth would SSRR work on a modern touch screen device, it is currently tied into a whole bunch of obscure command strings which would make it a pain to use. More of a pain to use is really the phrase however.@SpectateSwamp said:

No phone or pc needs SSRR.@SpectateSwamp said:

Most modern phones can de music and media playback, they support pausing and shuffle - it kind of does what people want.
