I still use it. It's fast. It's faster than "FastStone Picture viewer". I mean, it's faster than a modern program that has "fast" in its fricking name! For example, it opens 50k x 10k JPG panorama in under 1s.
Also, it opens 99% of files I stumble across, including PSD saved with compability mode. The only drawback is that It crashes on 16-bit grayscale PNGs with alpha channels (<0.1% of files on 4chan).
I hope to find something comparable soon, because it's one of the reasons why I'm not switching to Loonix yet.

I always wonder why people use DC with IRC now instead of using good DC clients with a DC hub, it's the same thing with better features and more importantly more stability.
Flylink user here.
>>47094485
People still use DC nowadays?
Truly a simpler time.
>>47094498
It's pretty popular but they use IRC servers instead of DC hubs, those 2 are basically the same thing really but the big difference is the clients, IRC users use xdcc which is very basic, it doesn't support a lot of the features that modern DC clients have such as swarming (download from multiple peers at once) and many more.

can someone explain why we dont have to manually turn our computers off anymore?
>>47098481
AT power supplies. Used a toggle switch instead of softpower.
>>47098481
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Power_Management
>>47098481
older power supplies uses a power button that was wired to mains, you press the button, and power is physically cut off
with ATX and APM standards, came power supplies that contained some logic, and always supplied a little bit of power even when "off"
this allows the machine to handle "standby" and to respond to the press of a regular button, which is what is used now as the "power" button, this is wired to the motherboard, which tells the psu when to turn on and off fully
since it's up to the mobo to control the psu, OS's can tell the mobo to turn off as well, hence when you "click shutdown", once the os has done it's thing, it can go "hey mobo, you can turn off the psu now"

>>47100208
it was a simple syncronization tool
iirc it went something like; you put a briefcase on a floppy disk or the like, and set it to link with one on your computer, then you can insert the floppy, and tell it to update/sync the two
