How about paying really cheap for a paid version of Ms Visio. Checkout: http://www.win8keyau.com/[^] You pay like 8 times less to buy a product key and a link to a package to download. This is how I buy all my Microsoft products.

I'm wondering how legal this is. I just built a new desktop system and Windows 8 Pro price seems very promissing. I wonder if there is a catch.

Site looks legit to me (I've bought a couple of products from them already)... however I also have my suspicions about the legality. Either way, they send you a product key which Microsoft accepts and haven't given me any crap about for over a year now and I've registered it obviously at Microsoft. I think if you read the fine print, the product key limits you to use the software only on one particular pc. So if you buy a new pc in the future you might run in to some trouble. Although I'd read up about it myself it I were you.

I am looking for a freeware package that will let me create my own UML diagrams. Checking SnapFiles, FreewareHome, and MajorGeeks, as well as asking Google, Yahoo, and Bing for their suggestions, these were my quick results... - "Dia" Looks like the best - "Altova" - Did not like it - "Visual Paradigm" - Did not like it - "Violet" - Looked interesting. Is "Dia" the best freeware UML generator for the time being ? I welcome feedback from those who really know UML well
This one is not free but it is reasonably priced, and it is very good. Enterprise Architect

Yes, I read that and the lincesing you buy from microsft directly works the same way, so at least in this case, the price would be fair. I suspect they sell keys bought over volume licensing, which allows discounts.

Exactly! Give it a try. It sure saves you a arm and a leg, and when you upgrade in the future, you new improved versions of software will be available in any case.

StarUML[^] is free and is a pretty good product. I've tried to learn it a couple of times but didn't see the need.
New version: WinHeist Version 2.1.0 Beta Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead? Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9. I'm not crazy, my reality is just different than yours!
StarUML is a bit dated, and also only available for PCs. I've used Umbrello, to good effect, which supports the XMI XML standard for representing UML, which StarUML doesn't support properly. Unfortunately, Umbrello seems to be KDE only, so only really practical on Linux boxes. I don't think there is yet a good cross-platform UML tool, or even tools that interact via XMI.

Hey Rage, good to hear from you. I'm currently at a Sergeant training, and just got two days off for the last weekend (the first two free days for two weeks). My position later will include Win/Linux server and application maintenance including user training, and is therefore not far away from what I used to do before I joined army. It seemingly attracts morons, and I feel like I know all of them. I still do work at my Springlog Project (in the spare free time I get) and started writing a new article yesterday. And that's how my life will look like until April. What have you been up to?

That is great. Military service in France was something like moving a sand heap from one location to another, and then bring it back where it was. Or repaint buildings.

I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Entropy isn't what it used to.

I'm with the Airforce. We just blow the sand heaps away, we don't have any better use for our helicopters anyways :laugh:
