  2. Review - IrfanView

    3.75 (Jul 16, 2002)

    DANGER! No 3.75 on the official IrfanView sites!!!

  3. Review - Proxomitron

    4.3 (Jun 13, 2002)

    Forget any other pop-up-stopper/ad-blocker crapware...Proxomitron gives you FULL control over page code on the fly to filter/render exactly what you want gone. BEST FREE UTIL EVER MADE!!!

  4. Review - CDCheck

    3.0.0.23 Beta (Jan 25, 2002)

    OK app - good thing free, since FC /B in a command window is just as handy for free although a little more effort. :)

  5. Review - IrfanView

    3.61 (Dec 4, 2001)

    Probably the best actually-really-free app available today. AND the author responds to and fixes any quirks fast. Couldn't imagine viewing pics with anything else!

  6. Comment - Usability Study: Microsoft Windows XP

    3.61 (Nov 12, 2001 - 6:21 PM)

    "Usability Study" crap like is also a good laugh of a read. The "usability" of Windows is essentially UNchanged since Windows 3.0. You still use the mouse, you still use the keyboard, you can still set up shortcuts (icons and keystrokes), you still double- or single-click stuff, you still click-and-drag, you still have menus, windows can still overlap, voice-command and text-to-speech has been around before, etc. etc. etc.! Just because XP introduced some new UI tricks and flashy colors does not affect "usability" any more than usual, does it? I mean come on already. Windows is still Windows!!!

  7. Comment - CIAC: XP Error Reporting Bad for Privacy

    3.61 (Oct 23, 2001 - 12:29 PM)

    Like ms will even read those error reports (let alone actually do anything about them if they actually do analyze them) anyway. heh

  8. Comment - AOL Places its Bets on Lucky 7

    3.61 (Oct 22, 2001 - 6:11 PM)

    You're lucky your Windows itself didn't cease to work, running that age-old crapware. heh

  9. Comment - Apple Patches QuickTime, Solves Browser Woes

    3.61 (Aug 22, 2001 - 10:56 PM)

    At any rate, it explains IE much better stability now. hehe

  10. Comment - Windows 'Longhorn' To Succeed XP?

    3.61 (Jul 25, 2001 - 5:22 AM)

    Apparently part of the new "easier updates" feature is a process that runs from Windows bootup, called loadqm.exe ("QMgr Loader" / "background queue manager"), and takes a nice 5 MB bite of ram! Luckily this thing (ms spyware? lol) can be prevented from loading by deleting its entry in the run section of the registry.
