- Amazing Mahjongg 3D 1.2.6, Ancient Breath in the Modern Skin — The original Chinese Mahjongg game is thousands of years older than the chess. Its origins are attributed to the famous philosopher, Confucius, who traveled through China provinces near 500s BC, populating his doctrines, sights, and the game. He called the new game «Mahjongg» (hemp bird) simply because he loved birds. The traditional Mahjongg is very widely spread in its homeland. The game even appears to be a part…
- Dis# 3.1.1, Back To Sources — The great feature of bytecode-based languages, and, namely, .NET assemblies, is a possibility to «return to source code» at any time. Assembly decompilation is a great tool to understand «how something works», either some general algorithms and data structures, or internal logics of some software or components. Unfortunately, simple decompilation tools give a very poor result which is hard to read…
- AntiPlagiarist 1.8, Where's Your Sources? — Digital century and digital style of work bring new possibilities to all of us, but they also bring new problems. And new ways to solve those new problems; and new unwanted effects of those ways… And one of the most general possibilities (and a source of the problems) is *possibility to copy*. Scientific works and home works, magazine articles and blogposts, even entire chapters in serious technical books are shamelessly copied…
- PDF In-The-Box ActiveX 3.12 — Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) is probably one of the most popular cross-platform, display resolution-independent means of document exchange. The ability to generate reports and output data as PDF has become a standard feature for a great many of desktop and web applications. If you are a developer willing to have an easy way of generating nice PDF reports or any other documents directly from the code of your…
- HtmlCapture ActiveX Control, Web Snapshot In A Few Lines Of Code — Taking shots (images) of web-pages is an often and highly usable programming task. There are scores of possible usages, from large web-archiving suits to small one-time testing scripts; but the general purpose snapshot tools (either PrintScreen or specialized software) aren’t very good for the task. If you want one powerful yet compact solution for the problem which can be used virtually with any programming language, take a look…
- Virtual Music Composer 3.0 PRO, A Source For Inspiration — Regardless of how «intellectual» you think your computer is, you can’t disagree that today’s software programmers have many smart ideas, useful for the most of us. In the area of music writing, conservative musicians tend to see the computer as a smart keyboard (sometimes way too smart); modern musicians tend to see it as a cutting table for samples and effects. Almost nobody tries to use the…
- UI Builder for Access - a drastic usability improvement for your Access applications — Microsoft Access is one of the most popular solutions for quick creation of database-driven applications mostly used in office environments. Being in essence a very powerful tool for creating complex forms and reports, Microsoft Access unfortunately lacks a lot of standard UI elements, which makes the process of creating a user-friendly application a real pain in the neck. UI Builder for Access solves this problem and allows…
- File Security Manager - full control over file and folder access permissions (even in Windows XP Home) — Being an overall excellent operating system, Windows XP does have some versions that limit user’s control capabilities to a bare minimum. For instance, Windows XP Home offers a great set of multimedia and general features, but lacks the degree of flexibility that many advanced users would definitely appreciate. For instance, the Home version will not allow you to set file and folder access right, which is a common method…
- AlphaXP - all you need to have full control over transparency in Windows XP — Transparency is one of the coolest features that Windows Vista can boast. It creates the eye-candy effect that so many users expect to see in a next-gen OS, but, unfortunately, does not have much practical value. Although you can see through window elements, the underlying objects are blurred and the content of the window is not transparent at all — so, for instance, you cannot fill out a form by simply looking…
