- Visual Money. Smart and Ambitious. — All software developers know: There are certain areas in the market where one would never try to compete — there are some Old, Greedy Huge-Budget and Long-History Monsters out there already, and «you’ll-never-bit-them». The trick is -there is a small share of presumptuous developers who still try to take their steps in such markets — and they win! (Much more often than you might think, actually.) Sometimes they even…
- EymBarcodeReader.ocx Decode Bar Code — Barcodes (the approach to encoding data in black-and-white bars) are widely used since their invention in the middle of the XXth century. They have proven themselves to be a universal and reliable mean in cases when a small amount of uniform significant data is to be associated with multiple things and then processed automatically. Though in last years the usage of barcodes has gradually yielded to distant…
- VBto 2.30, Visual Basic No More — For its time, Visual Basic 6 was an excellent tool. It was easy to learn, write and read, had reasonably good visual forms designer, allowed easy usage of ActiveX controls... Unfortunately, those times have gone. Now, there is .NET, there is VC++ MFC, there are other IDE with form designers, like Delphi. There is no place for good old VB6.

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…

A single panoramic screensaver or synchronized switching of several wallpapers would be ideal for a vivid demonstration, but setting it up using standard OS means is quite problematic, if not impossible.

- Virtual Flash Drive - a hack-proof container for your most valuable data — If the content of your hard drives is not limited to family photos and favorite MP3 tracks and you have information that you'd rather not make public, you have several options to choose from. The easiest method would be to hide your data folders in the depths of your system hoping that intruders would not be smart enough to look in non-standard locations. However, this is a bit naïve and you shouldn't rely on this method if you want real protection. Apparently, you can copy all your…
