   Review - FreeBSD

   8.0 Beta 4 (Sep 9, 2009)

   @ Phat Esther
   
   If you don't know what this is or what its for don't give FreeBSD a bad review, it is for advanced computer users wanting something stable, easy to maintain (once setup), something free, and most important to some is that its not Windows. 5 to undo your 1.

   Review - Uniture Memory Booster

   6.1.0.5138 (Jul 10, 2009)

   Get real!

   Review - cFosSpeed

   4.53 Build 1522 Beta (Jun 26, 2009)

   It works great for everything except it has trouble maintaining a good browsing experience while torrenting, but pings(latency) stays low in gaming. Worth the money. Five stars.

   Review - nVIDIA ForceWare Drivers for Windows Vista/7 (32-bit)

   186.18 (Jun 18, 2009)

   Anyone have any input on these latest drivers on the laptop front? I have the previous running on my xps1530 (8400GS) but the way Nvidia scales the GPU they work poorly. Just wondering if these are any better before I commit to a 100 megabyte download, as I'm on a blackberry for my net currently.
   
   (giving a four rating as previous versions are the same basically)

   Review - Winamp 5 Full

   Final (Dec 15, 2003)

   I gave winamp 5 a good once over twice, I give it a three because of the effort that went into creating it. With the classic skins memory and cpu usage are pretty much on par with 2.x series but activate the winamp modern skin and cpu usage rises to an unacceptable 80+ percent on a 600mhz PIII.
   
   Now the fact that to do anything really usefull you have to pay for this, there is no way. If you want the best all around media package go get jetAudio 5 Basic, or better yet jetAudio 5 Pro as it's the best money I have ever spent on software.

   Good to see mainstream nanotechnology is on the horizon, I wonder where we will be in ten years from now.

7. Comment - Sun Brings Java Desktop to Wal-Mart Shelves

   Final (Dec 10, 2003 - 8:22 PM)

   From what I read this is for an enterprise environment and is not directed at home users as the topic reads? Being a linux user for some time now all I can say is it puts a smile on my face to see Sun Microsystems announce this news.

8. Comment - InterVideo Brings Windows Media to Linux

   Final (Apr 20, 2003 - 3:49 PM)

   DRM or no I think this is a step in the right direction for bringing linux to the desktop, I have seen plenty of conversations on irc about playing the Windows Media format on linux.
   
   Remember everyone has different opinions on what a movie player should be, IMO you can't currently beat the offerings of Mplayer.

9. Comment - Microsoft Launches Broadband Hardware Line

   Final (Sep 27, 2002 - 1:18 AM)

   Logitech is who brought optical mice to the masses, not microsoft. And to those of you that brought linux into this conversation, I at no time said anything about linux but I do use and enjoy it on a daily bases and with that said I also use windows on a daily bases. But that has nothing to do with why I think microsoft based hardware is a bad idea.
   
   I never said that it would be crap hardware, or did I say for you not to use it...Was posting my thoughts to an article so take it as you will.

10. Comment - LindowsOS 2.0 Released to Insiders

    Final (Sep 20, 2002 - 1:33 AM)

    I'm all for creating an easier to manage linux distribution but really the UI is not what's important...Hardware detection and configuration is where linux usually lacks and most distribution work too much on the UI and not enough on hardware issues.
    
    Example:
    
    Johnny Doe goes to his local retail shop looking to buy an OS for his new pc, he sees windows for 199$ and sees Lindows for 99$ so he says to himself I think I will save that extra hundred bucks and buy a couple of games or something, Johnny buys Lindows and off he goes to install it. He gets home pops the disk in and clicks this, clicks that, and finally reboots only to find a message saying something like "no screens found"....UH OH, now what is little Johnny Doe going to do...He's going to take his a** back up to the shop and demand his money back so he can buy Windows and never give linux a second thought again.
    
    The above story could have been easily resolved with xf86config or vi and a little hand editing but how is Johnny Doe supposed to know this...He isn't.
