[Revolution]

Good Software collection but some licensed software are repeated.

[TheHumanBot]

Thanks for Ashes Demo,Back Track 4 n Continued Computer Science Lectures

[hot zubs]

thanx for "The best gaming and HTPC casing and power supply options" i was waiting for it from long time....
but still waiting to get dis topics in Tried and tested section...


waiting to get my eyes on d continued Computer Science Lectures dis were really great last time...

[Mrinal Mohit]

mag seems sparse

it's good that you gave the ashes 2009 demo, so that ppl realise that the game is not THAT good before they rush to buy it (IMHO )

i luv game trailers, drivers, GINORMOUS work DVD, TED VIDEOS ()

giving screensavers seems ?? but i'd always love a good matrix code screenie
tutorial for cs/q3a: ?? ppl don't expect u to give gaming tips

does ashampoo/sothink give u big bucks for giving their sw? Yes: ok, no prob, No: CRAP THEM,

[toofan]

Where is Hardware Tests this month.
Is the magazine is thicker then last month. By seeing the preview it looks as the normal magazine pages + extra DVDs = 200.00 . Or is it extra magazine pages+ extra DVDs. = 200.00

[krishnandu.sarkar]

WHR IS OUR OLD DIGIT ARCHIVE???

Otherwise both the DVD and Mag contents r gr8.....!!

[Rishabh_sharma1990]

Superb Issue.
But And Where are the previous issues of Digit and Fast Track in PDF

[toofan]

Those are given in the December issue.

[NVIDIAGeek]

Back to the ol' days, eh? Givin' screensavers . Good job.

[vamsi360]

I think you must also describe how to use your Licenced products because they are just ignored by many. There should be tutorials on their usage.

What is the deal between Digit and Ashampoo? You always give their software for free. I just ignored them first thinking as crap but now I have been using the legal Asamppoo Burning Studio 2009 and WinOptimizer 5 which are really awesome. I am waiting for the WinOptimizer 6 giveaway by digit.

Can we demand the licenced software in "On Demand" section for special issues and normal issues?

Again....while giving away linux distros please give the DVD versions rather than CD images because the only reason to buy the mag for DVD incase will increase. Because anyone can download the CD images by using their BSNL UL plan by simply downloading them for one night(6 hours). This is exactly what happened with me. I expected fedora 11 DVD iso but I got CD iso which I already downloaded. I remember the month I skipped Digit to LinuxForYou because LFY has given Fedora 10 DVD with their mag and that too next month after the release.

Where is the Linux content? I want more....increase it. Please focus more on Linux and Developer articles. Because we can just learn the tips and tricks to use Moviemaker and that sort in the internet and gain even more knowledge for free. If you go around the articles at CNET or PCWorld or ComputerWorld or ZDNET we can learn the tips ourself . Your articles should be even more innovative.

Edward sir...your presence in the Digit team has made one good move....the Website news content is now good but the downside is the website layout which is the worst I have come accross. Have a look at the popular US mag sites and your site. Your's is the worst and is like an ecommerce site.

This is solely my opinion and I think you should conduct a survey to experiment any of these. All the best Digit.

[toofan]

Vamsi I agree to you at the website matter.

And as far as providing Ashampoo softwares. The company is new and they might be providing their softwares for free to make a market.

And the OS the digit provide should be a boot able one. So that a DVD or CD can be saved from burning and one more reason to keep your DVD's for long.

[Krow]

I got the magazine today. The above software's are mentioned as Licensed here, but are marked as Trials on the DVD.

[topgear]

Though the contents are great but you guys haven't provided Vista x64 SP2 which is very important. Expecting to get it on next issue though.

I have to really praise for the whole bunch of softwares and video contents you provided this month

[Anorion]

@toofan it's not sparse. Motherboards, Digital Cameras and Laptops were tested this month. Didn't put that in, so am editing the original post.

@nvidiageek: yeah, strangely enough, people still want those screensavers.

@rajivnedungadi: The software you mentioned were placed in the Licensed section as they were trials bundled with the licensed software we gave out. The licensed software is still worth 10K though. Should mention that in the original post, so editing that as well. Thanks for pointing it out.

@Digit Archive guys: we are working on it - our version - will take some time though.

@Distro junkies: This is not official, but from now on, we may start giving out DVD Distros - only of final releases of Fedora, Ubuntu and SUSE though - seems fair?

[Krow]

Yeah, seems fair about distros. Finally offline full repos.

@All Readers of Digit

Hi all!

Its been some time since I made Digit Archive for the readers. It was well received on the Forum but going by last few issues of the magazine it seems people have not found it useful.

To be frank, the only feature which it lacks compared to the Old Digit Archive is the description of the applications. The reason why its impossible for me to include the same with each software is that Digit itself does not provide the description on the Forum.

So there is no way in which this can be updated. Moreover, I am sure you all would understand that I wont be copy pasting description for each software from each month's DVDs which contains approx 200 software.

It was quite disheartening to read the comment of Mr. RS Bhattacharya in particular where he claims that the Archive is useless and Digit may have not even tested it before releasing it in the DVDs and how a novice is not worth finding a place in Digit's Software.

A lot of effort goes into making any software application. If Mr. Bhattacharya can offer to improve the same, I'll be glad to share my Source Code among all readers of Digit through this forum.

I plan to release the source code of my version if there are people willing to work on improving the same. What do you say guys?

What's up Anorion?

[Anorion]

^ just decreased the violently large font sizes. In fact, did that to my own post as well.
@Rajivgundi, can you please mail a screenshot of the detection to cdcontent@thinkdigit.com?
For anyone else who get's an alert, please do the same, along with the AV software you are using, and when you last updated.

First of all, its "rajivnedungadi" and not "rajivgundi".

Secondly, I would send send the screenshot by today evening as I am about to leave for work in another hour or so. I dont know if it would finish scanning the same.

@ Anorion Okay! We shall wait for the screenies although I am sure it probably will be a false positive. These AV's are not something I trust wholeheartedly at all.

I appreciate your work and I thank you because you have mentioned in July that you have done that software in VB. Then I started learning them myself and to say the making is just 4 clicks.

I can do the same in C# 3.0 with more features in just 4 minutes. What's the difficulty in doing it? Just designing a form and linking to a Database and just dragging the tables onto the form, arranging them and pressing F5 for running the app.

The source code is all Visual Studio generated.

If you really want to make a good archive then use all the features of dataBinding and Windowsforms so that it would be better.

@anoroin: Thanks for informing about hardware test. And for agreeing to provide the OS as boot-able DVD's.

Vibhav. Kanwal: You archive helps me a lot. And I think it helps many others also.
You had done a great job. Which other even never think, you had done the same. And digit has also appreciated you work as they provide it in there DVD's.

If its this easy let them design there own.

@others: you can only say but can't do. If its only four minute away then please try making this with your own database.
