Also, on a Windows 8 tablet, is there any way to make the onscreen keyboard automatically pop up whenever I select a box where I can input text (and preferably also disappear when I move focus to something else)

It should do that on its own,

I probably should have mentioned that I prefer using it in desktop mode. Does this make a difference?

Is there any way to get google play store to filter out all applications that either cost money, use ads, have in-app purchases and/or connect to the internet in any way not related to web-browsing? I absolutely don't want any of than and I'd appreciate not having to slog throuh it to get to the things I might actually consider using.

So you're saying you're not willing to pay for a good app in any way? Way to feel entitled.

I saw a game in the play store that matched that description called ∞

That was the only one I ever saw.

We're all bay watchers here. Except for like three guys, but two of them are the DF devs and the other(s?) made some huge contribution.

I think the cutoff is having made eight posts. We're not big on postcount, really.

Also, welcome to the forums. There's also a 'random questions' thread in General Discussion, for further reference.

The cutoff is approximately 10 posts, I think. Jon Fox is more or less the guy in charge of LCS so he got a title and can moderate the Curses board if thats who you're thinking of, Arx.

There's also the guy who... I think he wrote the OpenGL stuff for DF? There's another guy, anyway. I forgot about Fox.

And everybody forgets about the dark Lord Kurtulmak.

I think he ment the text under your avatar. You can change that on your forum profile page, same page as avatar.

So I'm in a position where I'll probably want to look up technical details about malware without Internet access. Anybody know of a good, downloadable database? I can get a good guess at what a given file is called with tools I've already got, but "Trojan_Downloader_24465" isn't exactly descriptive without more details.

That would be Bauglir, I think.
Oh, my, no. I'm mostly useless. Flattered that you thought so, though. Good thing I checked this thread at random today!

"Trojan_Downloader_24465" is exactly what it sounds like. There won't be much in the way of technical details available because it's a "generic" malware. The best thing would just be to clean it.

Hrm-hrm. I happen to know that the specific piece of malware I scanned to get that description was a variant of the PoisonIvy RAT, but the AV database I'm checking against isn't any more specific. There are others I could add to get that name (looking up "Trojan_Downloader_24465" on some sites that store classifications from several AVs), but what I'm looking for is something like this. Just, y'know, in some downloadable format.

Cleaning it ain't the point, unfortunately. Finding out what it did and how is.
