I think a closer comparison would be existing sites where you can by web-based software (I'm sure I've seen them, but forget any particular names). Again though, just because Google didn't invent it doesn't mean their site is a "rip-off".
I believe at least part of the problem is that what you see on screen isn't in some convenient bit of memory that print screen accesses, but instead the graphics are constructed on the graphics card, and sent straight to the monitor.
Well, it works when I open it in paint shop pro 9, but I don't have it on my other computer, which is where I d/l'ed the plane (and where FS9 is installed on), and the disk is missing, and I'm too lazy to buy a new disk (plus, today is christmas -- I don't want to hurt my family's feelings buying new stuff on christmas day when I could've just sent them the list and they'd have gotten it themselves)Strange. My Paint works fine with .bmp files. I use it quite often.
What is a good freeware .bmp decompressing software? I downloaded an aircraft paint kit for M$ flight simulator, but apparently, the .bmp files can't be opened/decompressed by gimp or paint or paint.net.
Hello again, I just recieved an Evga GT 430 for Chistmas and installed it, anticipating a day of Syrim playing, however it seems that near the end of the opening cinematic, my computer crashes every single time and a strange sound is emitted from the speakers. I am fairly sure I installed correctly, as there was no input spot apparent to fit any power cables in so that it likely not the issue. I even tried turning the game down to low graphics and couldn't make it through. Any suggestions?
My CPU is an AMD Athlon with a Corsair power supply. How would I go about testing the RAM?
EDIT: Upon restarting the computer, it displays an error at either checkpoint 09 or 2A, if that helps.
Ah sorry, interpreted it in a completely different sense In that case I agree entirely with your OP - it does annoy me the trend on certain mobile platforms of it costing money even for downright simple stuff (and the OS vendor getting a 30% of all of it). Sadly I suspect that the Chrome store (which you can see now at https://chrome.google.com/webstore ) is trying to push the same idea of trying to commercialise things (which for the web seems even worse - so far, we've been used to getting most things on the web for free, where as at least for apps, commercial software isn't new).I meant "rip-off" in the sense of overcharging users for functionality.
I.e. buying into a platform that is marketed as inexpensive, yet over-charges for add-on functionality to the point of not being competively priced with the netbooks with MS 7 functionality.
From what I understand, an iso is basicly all of the information on a cd/dvd. I have a videogame that is begining to quit working because it is pretty scratched up. Is it possible and legal for me to copy the iso (or what-ever the name is) to make a backup so that when it finally gives up the ghost I can just burn a replacement disk? I'm not going to distribute it or anything like that, I just want a backup copy. Is this legal? If so, how do I do this?
