Tabula allows you to extract that data into a CSV or Microsoft Excel spreadsheet using a simple, easy-to-use interface. Tabula works on Mac, Windows and Linux. They also have a command-line tool that would help you automate it. Personally, I'd use Python and one of the PDF parser libraries...

qBittorrent behaves itself pretty well. I'm not sure about fancier features like rss but it at least doesn't have ads and poo poo.

Was this microsoft account thing required in Windows 8? Windows 10 is annoying me by requiring me to have a microsoft account. Then to do anything with another microsoft program I have to log into a microsoft account to use it. The problem is Microsoft has bought so much poo poo that all of my programs end up with different accounts. I want to move my gamertag to the account I logged into windows on but I can't because Microsoft magically created a gamertag on this account that I've never used. In order to get around this I have to create a third microsoft account (hopefully it doesn't make another gamertag) to move this fake gamertag to so I can move my real gamertag onto my account. Why can't I just delete a gamertag?

How large does this become consistent at? One that I tried that crashed it was ~100 GB, another was only ~30 GB but had several tens of thousands of files in the list. I currently use 3.3.2 with auto updates disabled and all the ad stuff removed. Has no issues.

I stopped updating once I heard ads made it in (after 3.2-ish?) and never had any obvious problems. Although I do wonder what other torrent software have been up to. I'd appreciate a more detailed breakdown of current torrent clients.

Googling (you'll need to use the Verbatim option) suggests someone hosed up and didn't compile floppy support for the Technical Preview. Wait for the next one.

I'm confused about where to ask this, so if there's a more appropriate thread please point me that way... I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64. I have a quit smoking seminar video in .avi format. I want to convert the .avi files to .mp3 so I can burn them onto a CD. The seminar is for my mom, and in skimming the videos I realized she's not going to sit in front of a TV watching a man pace a small stage for 4 hours. Plus, there is tons of desync going on which makes it even harder to watch. The content is really good though, so I want to make it into audio CDs she can just listen to. So, is there a goon-favorite program for converting .avi ---> .mp3? I'm hoping for something easy to use (I'm bad at computer), and has no spyware or weird crap bundled with it. Free would be nice.

I once used a tool that allowed you to monitor file and registry accesses over a period of time, so you'd end up with a report with a list of accesses and counts. It was part of a bigger application, with other diagnostic capabilities. Anyone know what I'm talking about? I thought it was part of Process Explorer at first but I can't find that section anywhere. I had whatever it was installed already when I read about it, so it could be part of Windows itselflady blue shanghai posted:So, is there a goon-favorite program for converting .avi ---> .mp3?

Not sure about a dedicated converter tool, but if you have VLC you can use that - do file > convert, pick a source and output file, and set the profile to the Audio - MP3 one. There's an options button next to it if you want to change some settings (or you can make a new profile to tweak) baka kaba fucked around with this message at 19:55 on Oct 9, 2014 |

I managed to get a ransomware virus on Windows 8.1.  Windows Defender claimed it managed to get rid of it after the fact, but my HDD is filled with unrecoverable encrypted shrapnel of my files. Luckily I had nothing irreplaceable (that I can remember) that wasn't on Google Drive. Time to reformat!! Michael Scott fucked around with this message at 20:36 on Oct 9, 2014 |

Michael Scott posted:I managed to get a ransomware virus. Welp, I sure hope Google Drive didn't sync the encrypted files. (That's exactly why cloud storage services aren't backups.) You might want to check it from a clean computer via the web UI before you reformat. If your stuff is gone, then you get to balance the value of your files against the cost of ransom. Do you know how you got infected? Last I knew ransomware was still in .zip email attachments.
