HAL's capabilities, like all the technology in 2001, were based on the speculation of respected scientists. Marvin Minsky, director of the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and one of the most influential researchers in the field, was an adviser on the film set. In the mid-1960s, computer scientists were generally optimistic that machines with HAL's capabilities would exist within a few decades. For example, AI pioneer Herbert Simon had predicted in 1965 that "machines will be capable, within twenty years, of doing any work a man can do".
However, as 2001 approached, it became clear that the film's depiction of computer technology was too optimistic. Capabilities such as natural language processing, lip reading, and commonsense reasoning on the part of computers were still science fiction.

I'd really like to be notified of that process. Really.

Nothing about 10.7 Lion.
Is it Lion compatible...?

Only nuisance is setting up the mail server proxy to intercept mail traffic. As far as I've seen, Apple Mail has to be set to not use SSL, because the Avast shield does that.
If you don't switch off SSL, you'll end up with numerous on screen warnings.
Hope this has been worked around in the final version.

And best of all, it's free.
Nobody can't go wrong with this.
Kudos to the developer. This is outstanding.

The menu bar icon alone makes this worth installing. Masterfully done.
Keep up the great work.

Two minor wishes for any upcoming version:
Please implement a small target window where you can drop stuff on to compress it. Would be easier to handle than drop all on the dock icon, IMO.
Compressing/decompressing currently always throws two concurrent growl messages (Growl 1.3.3 here). Though this is merely a cosmetic issue, I'd like to see it corrected.
Other than that: Absolutely great value software! Please keep up the good work, Mr. developer.

Is there any way to get them back, i.e. via Terminal?
Thanks for any help.
Enqueue
I won't start from scratch with my playlists, so it's basically unusable for me right now.
Hoping for a bug fix.

It's always crashing close to the 90 % mark, indeed. I have about 4.900 songs loaded in iTunes, of which about 4.300 have been imported into Enqueue when the crash occurs.
Hope you get it resolved, because I really like the app, and intend to replace my iTunes usage by Enqueue.

Things keep getting worse with BitTorrent. Transmission or Bits on Wheels are waaaay better and more reliable.
