Duh... Anything is in the bag.

Just Another VM Detection (was "VM Detection Combo")

, , , ...

I'm terribly sorry of the major mistake I've made for the "VM Detection Combo". I thank you for an anonymous person willing to point me of the mistake. Because of this, nearly the whole contents of the article needs to be rewritten. I've decided to roughly edit it. Changed its title and removed (primarily) the "IDTR & LDTR Modification Detection" method. Due to these changes, the VMDetectionCombo software is no longer applicable and is removed. To compensate this, I'm releasing most of the essential code of the software. There may be some leftovers. Again, I apologize for this mistake.

Republishing My Softwares - Part 2

, , , ...

OK, here's the second freeware that I want to made publicly available for anyone who is interested. This time it's my older, 7 years old freeware called CD-ROM Image Converter v1.10 (aka. CiC). It's the third revision as far as I can remember, and it has been discontinued.

The software title should be self explanatory, but I want to make it clear that it can only convert RAW disc images. What I mean by RAW is, plain disc image copy of the physical disc and doesn't contain any additional data from third party software(s). In other words, it can't convert disc images generated by (for example) Nero, CloneCD, BlindWrite, etc. CiC was designed for technical use and not for general use.

Like in my previously posted freeware, the email address mentioned in the software is no longer active. So, if you have any quiestion, please post it via this blog. If you want to send private message to me, please register yourself to the Opera Community first. Also, even though my softwares are free, they're not open source and I won't make the source code freely available. But some softwares will, though.

Use the below link to download the software. The package is the same as the one 7 years ago.
Enjoy. :smile:

Opera Users in Distress

, , , ...

Recently, a new thread in usually silent Opera mail, chat and news forum emerged to gather Opera users in order to make a petition for requesting a HTML email composing feature in Opera which according to a user, should have been implemented in version 8 of Opera.

It's rather sad that Opera doesn't yet able to create HTML emails, where others have done it many years ago (even in their first release) which makes Opera looks like an unmatured internet client suite. Since it's a suite, the lack of email client features can make a scar as a whole - to the Opera. This can decrease the temptation for non Opera users to switch to Opera. That's bad, really bad.

This feature has been in debate for quite a long time. Arguing about HTML email security and its efficiency. But regardless of the outcome of that debate, it's a fact that HTML emails are becoming a requirement in some fields and industries. This "transition" is like telegraph to email, SMS to MMS, and Gopher to WWW.

For those who want this feature and indirectly make your favorite Opera a better internet client suite, can make your vote by registering yourself via this website.
