Appalling website with the download link requiring you to spend at least 5 minutes looking for it.
Other than that, this program has been useful to me on ocasion and never crashed or let me down, so since I'm rating the program it gets a 5.
The website would score a 0.
2.2.2.7 (Jun 10, 2009)
This is in fact version 2.2.3.7
Works pretty well for me. Slightly stupid that you're supposed to pay to make WMV files though.

There really aren't words to describe how spectacular this piece of software has become over the last few years.
With version 3 it has really solidified and become strongly worth considering among the expensive alternatives.

Why on earth have they given it an installer?
The whole point of it (for me) was that it was portable and could be used to analyse core system components when diagnosing faults.
They've kept the version without though, so that's all good.

Easily the best browser that Microsoft have made thus far.
Still quite a long way behind Chrome, Opera and Firefox in terms of performance, but excellent from a web designers viewpoint.
Thank you, Microsoft.

Interesting thought. Perhaps we'll have to go back to the bad old days of passing all the info through the URL.

Well what do they do about European companies with servers in the US/elsewhere?
Where would the law stand on that?

The answer to the question of "Is AES encryption crackable?" is yes.
What we are seeing over the past 10/20 years is a gradual increase in the time it takes to crack such encryption.
WEP = near instantaneous
WPA = Bit longer
WPA2 = Longer still
Much the same with hashing algorithms too.
MD5 is broken.
SHA1 is flawed but not proved yet.
SHA2 isn't broken yet.

Heh, Do you Canadian's actually know what the 5th Nov is actually a celebration of?

I adore your bad analogies.
What it's actually like is a boat with a hole.
Essentially, what this update has done is trade speed for a plug for the hole.
Which would you rather? Die after 30 seconds of attempting to cross the ocean at breakneck speed (which of course it wasn't in the first place), or actually reach the other side one day?
