  1. Review - µTorrent for Windows

    1.5.1 Beta Build 465 (Jun 21, 2006)

    This is an excellent program for the use of .torrent files. It's small (under 200 kB; great for dial-up users) and requires no installation. In addition, it contains as many (if not more) features that BitTorrent has. BitTorrent was registering as a virus in AVG, so I had to switch. This is now my .torrent program of choice.

  2. Review - µTorrent for Windows

    1.5.1 Beta Build 464 (Jun 19, 2006)

    BitTorrent was being marked (and subsequently deleted) as a virus by AVG, so I needed another program to use. uTorrent came through in a big way. The file runs without installation flawlessly, and has the capabilities of BitTorrent.

  3. Review - FileZilla v3 for Windows

    2.2.23a (May 22, 2006)

    This is an excellent tool for my usage. It's easy to set up, and the method of transfers and so on work easily. My only gripe is that manual FTP commands do not seem to work.

  4. Comment - PDC 2008: What did we learn today?

    2.2.23a (Nov 3, 2008 - 8:58 PM)

    Going back to their roots with the Windows 1 taskbar?

  5. Comment - What does the Sarah Palin e-mail hack say about Yahoo?

    2.2.23a (Sep 19, 2008 - 10:31 AM)

    Um... Nothing?

    From what I can tell she used a basic password that one could guess after about five minutes.

    Don't know why it relates to Yahoo at all.

  6. Comment - Sony sued over Blu-ray patents

    2.2.23a (Sep 2, 2008 - 1:23 PM)

    Just like with the multiple lawsuits against Nintendo and their controller, these come out of the woodwork only when a technology becomes increasingly popular.

    Another perfect example of the broken patent system.

  7. Comment - Lower income Tennessee residents to get free cell phones

    2.2.23a (Aug 15, 2008 - 8:15 AM)

    You make a valid point. However, government spending has gone completely out of control in the past decade, and government handouts are a factor in that. Now, I don't know if this case is an example of overspending, but it is definitely a factor.

    Another idea to consider is debt (which plays into the selfishness you mentioned). People aren't saving their money like they used to. America's debt's getting bigger and bigger, but we just keep spending more than we take in.

    If your outgo exceeds your income your upkeep will be your downfall.

  8. Comment - Best Buy becomes first US retailer to stock iPhone

    2.2.23a (Aug 14, 2008 - 12:20 PM)

    I don't even have a cellphone.

    If you'd like to rectify your dream world scenario I'm gladly taking iPhone donations.
