IANWEIR  If you set transmission to keep your computer awake while downloading torrents (Preferences > Network > System sleep) and then set your system to sleep after being idle for 1 minute, you should get the same effect that you're going for.  
(Version 1.50)

IANWEIR  Or if you're using safari (not sure about other browsers), paste the URL into the downloads window.

You'll still have to remove the .txt from the end.  
(Version 0.0.9y)

IANWEIR  Seems I should have looked over the other reviews of these products before posting my own on AceReader Pro Deluxe Plus- I guess great minds think alike!  
(Version 5.0k)

IANWEIR  I'm interested to know if the next version will be AceReader Pro Deluxe Plus Super Ultra Mega-Platinum Ultimate Extreme.

Surely the names of this suite of programs could be simplified into something that makes a bit more sense and serves to inform rather than confuse, as they do currently.

Looking briefly over your website, I can't find any semblance of a logical pattern to your naming conventions, which as I already stated serves only to confuse your potential customers.

When you need to put descriptions such as "(Single User Home Edition)" and "(Network School Edition)" next to the product names, and even include a survey so that customers can figure out which version they're after, it's a pretty clear warning bell that you've made things a bit too complicated.

I think you should consider these names:

AceReader Home (formerly AceReader Pro)

AceReader Home (Multi-User) (formerly AceReader Pro Deluxe)

AceReader School (formerly AceReader Pro Deluxe Plus)

AceReader School (Multi-User)/(Network) (formerly AceReader Pro Deluxe Network)

This way your potential customers understand the differences without having to consult a chart, and you don't get caught up in the excessive and needless descriptives that really only take away from the name and brand.  
(Version 5.0k)

IANWEIR  This functionality is already built in, from Tiger-onwards for sure, and I'm pretty sure quite some time before that.

Just press command-shift-4 to get the crosshairs (for a selection), and if you would like to take a screenshot of a window, press the spacebar at this point and the cursor will turn into a camera and you can take screenshots of windows.

If you add control to the previous key combination, it will put the screenshot in your clipboard instead of on the desktop.

You can also use command-shift-3 and command-control-shift-3 to take normal screenshots & put them into the clipboard, respectively.  
(Version 1.0)

IANWEIR  I don't see the need to turn off airport before sleeping, and turning it back on shortly after waking.

As far as I know, the airport card is already powered down in sleep mode.  
(Version 1.1)

IANWEIR  Would it be too much to ask for a mac screenshot?  
(Version 2.0)

IANWEIR  If you want a quicksilver for itunes, you can use quicksilver.

Just set up a custom trigger to whatever key combo you want (I use option+space), and for the 'Item' select 'iTunes', hit /, and then select 'Music Library'.

For the 'Action' enter 'Search Contents'.

Then go to quicksilver preferences>actions>iTunes Music and make sure that whatever you want to do with the songs selected by this trigger is at the top.

Personally I have 'Play next in Party Shuffle' first.

Then you just hit your key combo, type a bit of the song title and hit enter.

(note that you cannot search artists/albums with this method, but you could swap out 'Music Library' for 'Browse Artists', 'Browse Albums', et cetera to get this behavior)  
(Version 2.1.1)

IANWEIR  This is a lovely program - makes it a lot easier for me to check at a glance to see if pages I've built are valid.

My sole complaint is that it seems to break the built-in find capability within page source windows. When you're searching through pages of code you've never seen before, this is an invaluable ability.

Aside from that, a wonderful program, especially for an 0.2.2b release.  
(Version 0.2.2b)

IANWEIR  Mac Andy, this game should work just fine on a Mac Mini.

The ATI RAGE 128 was the graphics card included in the DV iMacs (remember those?), so any mac released since them should be more than capable.  
(Version 3.0.6)

IANWEIR  Just a note - you can still edit CSS files using the edit mode, and you can use both modes at once using the split feature. Simply open a CSS file in the edit or CSS mode, and click the split button, (upper right corner), and then click on the other mode you'd like to use.

From that, you can have both the edit and CSS modes open at the same time for the same file.  
(Version 1.0)

IANWEIR  A free alternative to this program (for those interested) is Camouflage. http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/23118  
(Version 1.1)

IANWEIR  And for the record, 6,912 KB/s is the same as 6.75 megabytes / second. Note that it's a K, not an M.  
(Version 2007-001)

IANWEIR  54 Mbps is equal to 6,912 KB/s

(if you don't believe me, google '54 megabits in kilobytes') - I dare say that only getting 53.7 KB/s probably is something to worry about.  
(Version 2007-001)

IANWEIR  Would splurging for an actual OS X screenshot be that difficult?  
(Version 4.9.5)

IANWEIR  While a lovely application, it appears to have some rather significant RAM leaks.

Every time that I hide the icons on my desktop, the ram usage increases - it doesn't take long to get its ram usage up to 240 MB - if I had more ram, (or less other programs open) I could get it harder.

If not for the rather insane ram usage, this program would be on my list of must-haves.

Needless to say, this is an issue that should probably get taken care of.  
(Version 1.4)

IANWEIR  Security through stupidity - anybody who thinks that this will make their files secure, and safe from prying eyes deserves to be ripped off for the $19.95 this sorry excuse for a program costs  
(Version 4.0b)

IANWEIR  Just a note to those who don't like to use the terminal if they can help it - this program can also be closed using the activity monitor.

Just select it in the list, click Quit Process (upper left), and confirm your choice in the resulting dialog box.  
(Version 1.2)

IANWEIR  This is an awesome little program - I've been using it for months now and it has never failed me, not once!

Simple, intuitive interface, and the price can't be beat!

The only thing I could possibly think of would be automatic updates - it can check for updates, yes, but it doesn't self-update. I do believe there is a library for that, in fact. (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/20366)

Keep up the good work, this is by far the best alarm clock program I have ever had the pleasure of using.  
(Version 2.3.7)

IANWEIR  Or, you can paste the URL of the file in question into the Downloads window in safari - don't think any amount of DRM on the planet is gonna stop that one.  
(Version 2.1)

IANWEIR  Not so much runs fast as launches fast. A lot of load time is putting it into memory, so if it's on a RAM disk, it's already in memory. It won't effect the speed much (if at all) once the program is launched, but it will speed up your launch times a lot.  
(Version 2.3.2)

IANWEIR  This is the uninstaller AppZapper forgot. :D  
(Version 1.0b2)

IANWEIR  If you are only wanting the language removal options, you can also use monolingual. (free, search for it on macupdate)

I run it every time I update my system, saves me loads of space.  
(Version 1.1)

IANWEIR  Just felt I should point out that version numbers really aren't relevant. Even if one program is at version 8 and another is still at 0.8, it doesn't mean anything. Higher numbers and/or more versions released does not necessarily mean a superior program.  
(Version 0.4)

IANWEIR  This widget is quite simply awesome. Everything is well integrated, and having a local version of the PHP manual is a major plus, especially when I am on the road and having internet access is questionable.

It works like a charm, and I have yet to find it lacking in any respect. The favorites list is especially handy, because I always forget the format for the same few functions.

The cheat sheets are also a major plus, and the date formatter is sheer genius.

Keep up the good work!  
(Version 0.9.3b)

IANWEIR  Neat little widget - I haven't got any stuck pixels to test it with, so I can't say if it works or not.

One thing that might be nice is if it said 'loading' or something like that while it is (surprise surprise) loading, rather than 'double click to start.'

It's a bit frustrating to be double clicking over and over again, not knowing if it is actually ready to go or not. At the very least some indication that the widget has finished loading would be nice.  
(Version 1.0)

IANWEIR  Nice little program, but I have a few suggestions -

First, it would be nice if the é actually displayed as such, because it is quite consistently something else in a lot of places.

Second, if it faded in quickly, rather than just turning on and off like a switch, it would look better.

Third, it would be a lot easier if you could paste in the license code rather than having to type it out. ( on that note, the program said it was valid when I still had two characters to type in. Odd.)

Fourth, as was already said, it would be nice if it was invisible - No dock icon, no menu bar item.

Fifth, there isn't much point in being able to activate it from the menu, because if you can access the menu item, you must have use of your mouse, no?

Aside from that, it's a great program, and I'm sure I will get lots of use out of it.  
(Version 1.3)

IANWEIR  For those unaware, (and those who didn't read the description, this program is out of beta as of version 1.1  
(Version 1.1)

IANWEIR  I believe things such as this are referred to as Mosaics, not puzzle images. Other than that, it looks pretty cool.  
(Version 2.0)

IANWEIR  Neat little program - I haven't had much opportunity to test it, but this comment has little to do with that.

One feature that I would find even more useful than it's current use would be the ability to identify songs playing on my computer. It would come in handy for all the "Track 01"'s that I have, but do not know the names of.  
(Version 1.0.1b)

IANWEIR  Looks like a cool app, and I would definitely use it if not for one thing.

Upon adjusting the brightness using this app, the colors on my display are thrown off. Everything is given a slight blue tinge. Once I quit the program, it goes back to normal

iBook G4, 12", 10.4.4  
(Version 1.0.4)

IANWEIR  "...and is free as well!!"

Unlike this free program. ;)

None the less, I imagine your point still stands.

I haven't used Quicksilver myself.  
(Version 2.0.1)

IANWEIR  Just thought I'd point out that a background daemon (in the form of a menu item, actually) exists in more recent versions.  
(Version 2.2.1)

IANWEIR  Awesome program! I needed a memory card reader however, as my camera does not mount as a disk when I plug it in.

However, once I had a memory card reader, it worked wonders! It recovered about 83 pictures from my camera, most of which had been on there through several reformats of my memory card.

A must-have app for anybody with a digital camera.  
(Version 1.4.1)

IANWEIR  This is actually quite simple.

First, control+click on the ByteController application and choose 'Show Package Contents'.

Then, open the 'Contents' folder, and then the 'Resources' folder.

Then open the file 'previous.scpt' in Script Editor, and change it to this:

tell application "iTunes" to back track

Save, and you are done.  
(Version 0.8.5)

IAN WEIR  I tried installing this on my 1.2 ghz G4 iBook and it wouldn't let me, stating that my processor is too slow. Should this actually be the case?

I know it says > 1.2 ghz is required, but it seems to make more sense to say >= 1.25 ghz, or something, because people (including myself) tend to assume it means greater than 1.2 ghz inclusive is required.(assuming, of course, that it is actually > 1.2 ghz that is required, and not simply a bug)  
(Version 0.8)

IAN WEIR  To be quite frank, you make it sound as if it is impossible to get music legally.

There is lots of legal, free music out there, you just need to look.

Plus there is the iTunes music store, many other music stores, and even songs off of CDs you have purchased.

I fail to see the validity of your argument.  
(Version 3.9rc4b)

IAN WEIR  To be quite frank, any form of html code 'protection' is really useless.

No matter how much you mangle and cripple the page, (which only frustrates the user), the browser is still able to decypher it, which simply proves that it CAN be decyphered.

I'll find a better use for 50 bucks, thanks.  
(Version 2.4)

IAN WEIR  Actually, if you check the 'Use the F1-F12 keys to control software features' box in the keyboard section of keyboard and mouse, you can use all the F keys.

To access the hardware controlls, just hold down funtion and hit the same F key you normally would.  
(Version 2.0.7)

IAN WEIR  Not to be confrontational, but you are pretty much entirely wrong.

Some information about an IP can be found by doing a whois lookup. Which, as somebody else pointed out, can be done using the terminal.

Databases such as this, however, are something different all together.

Quote from http://ip-to-country.webhosting.info/node/view/9

"Also, it should be noted that the IP-to-Country Database seeks to indicate the country where resources were first allocated or assigned"

All it really does is find out what country/area the ip address was assigned to.

Nothing illegal about that, nor is any data gathered from companies selling personal data.  
(Version 1.2)

IAN WEIR  To be quite honest, I think you may be thinking of another program. I have checked older versions of the program, (at least all of those available on the BrainByte website and none have this feature)

One program recently that does what you mentioned is Barquee ($10, http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/18806)  
(Version 0.8)

IAN WEIR  A nifty little app, does it's job well. However, I am not about to dedicate 8.4-10.5% of my CPU towards a little thing that shows me what song is playing.

If you are using a smaller laptop (such as the 12" iBook) you may not want to use much menu bar space. But that would depend on your own personal tastes and preferences.

If you are looking for something that can do function keys/menu controlls, (but without listing song info) I would reccomend bytecontroller. (free, http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15170)  
(Version 1.1)

IAN WEIR  There is a much easier way to get and use this program, which is actually suggested by the readme file. Simple go to http://www.kiyut.com/products/sketsa/index.html and click the Launch Web Start button.

It will handle the download and install for you, and from then on you can open it just by opening the application it creates, no need to do anything whatsoever with the command line.  
(Version 3.2.1)

IAN WEIR  Just out of curiosity, what makes this widget any better than the Unit Converter widget that ships standard with tiger? It converts currencies, distances, weights, and just about everything else.  
(Version 2.0)

IAN WEIR  All I can say is wow. I was looking for a simple and powerfull timer to keep track of my working at home hours, and this nifty little app is exactly what I was looking for.

Simple, easy to use, and best of all, it is free!

I can find no fault with it. :)  
(Version 1.3.1)

IAN WEIR  This is a great little widget!

Very straightforward, and easy to use.

I actually started coding something similar to this last night, because I really wanted one for my own use.. I must say though, that I was not very successful.

Lucky for me, you have written this awesome little widget. A couple things that could use some tweaking, however.

First, making it resizeable would be a VERY nice feature to have.

Second, I can't look up some functions. ob_start() and mysql_query() tell me there is no response from the server, yet include() and preg_match() do. Is there a reason for this?  
(Version 0.1)

IAN WEIR  As for removing the extra language files, I would reccomend using monolingual. (do a search for it here on macupdate) It is a handy little utility that is free, and deletes them all for you. Very simple and easy to use, and its 'footprint' is only about 550kb. Surely that is worth the space savings?  
(Version 2.0.2)

IAN WEIR  This is a fairly neat little program.

However, it could use some work.

First, it needs to have scroll bars. As it is, the only way to scroll the window down is by selecting downwards, or using the arrow keys. Not my favorite method to scroll through large amounts of text.

Second, it seems to have some problems with songs that have strange characters in their names.

For example, I got the current track from itunes, which was "Shine (YZ250F Mix)" by "Newsboys", and it gave me this error:

AppleScript Error

sh: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `('

sh: -c: line 1: `curl http://www.seeklyrics.com/lyrics/Newsboys/Shine-(YZ250F-Mix).html' (2)

But overall, I'd say this program has alot of potential. I look forward to future updates!  
(Version 1.0)

IAN WEIR  This little thing is the best program I have ever installed on my computer. I love it!

A couple things I would like to see though. (I think some of these may have been mentioned by others)

I would like it if I could turn on and off looping and shuffling, and it would also be awesome if I could cycle through my playlists using it.

I love the way you have all the hotkeys and everything set up.. Beautifully simple. Don't make it too complicated!

Keep up the good work.  
(Version 0.8)
