  1. Review - Safari for Windows

    3 Beta (Jun 11, 2007)

    People seem to forget to clean their system, and as mentioned checked for spyware, malware, adware, and also virus and trojans...

    Safari Beta works fine and is very responsive... I to welcome new Browsers that work... There is a few quarks but nothing worth mentioning...

    Easy to change things and set preferences and other options...
    Have even uploaded things through it like I.E. I like it...

    Can't wait to see how well the final release will work...

    I have loaded this now on 3 PC's and 2 Laptops and works fine...
    Also make sure you have all your updates loaded people and such...

    SC...

  2. Review - Microsoft Windows Vista (64-bit)

    Beta 2 (Jun 7, 2006)

    I do not get this everyone on the speaking planet trying to get this no bandwidth no redundacy download servers.

    Next MSDN subscribers can not download this with thier MSDN accounts. The links for it on the MSDN site goes in loops back to nothing but mindgames.

    Next the 64 bit version comes down as mentioned 13.8 megs? this is suppose to be if you have your own download manager.

    Microsoft uses 3rd party services to get it rather then a http and ftp?

    What is going on here?

    The 32 bit stalls after only 2 megs of the image comes down, and it has been this way for over 8 hours.

    Come on some one get on the ball. This is not right Microsoft I can not believe you can not have a simple click here and away goes the iso rather then having to navagate through morons are us menus on pages no one checks.

    No one has read the MSDN message boards except for other MSDN

  3. Review - Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows XP

    7.0 Beta 2 Preview Refresh Build 5335.5 (Mar 22, 2006)

    A few peves with I.E. 7

    1. It will not keep the same settings from your I.E. 6. Such as how you have your Menus aranged and favorite Search Engine.

    2. You can not move the Address Bar to the same location as it is in I.E. 6.

    3. Some of the options you set in I.E. 6 is not kept or allowed.

    Bottom line once I have my Browser how I want it I want to keep it laid out that way. I do not want Microsoft to tell me where my Menus or Address bar will have to be I do not want it on top. I do not want MSN being my default Search In fact I would rather none be set as default.

    Next Why not have a click button to add your favorite search ? Or simply not to have it on the tool bar at all if I set my home page to being Google or etc.,

    Come on give me some options I already had Microsoft not what you decided we should have due to your choice.

    Sorry I am sticking to 6, and Firefox.
    I appreciate the faster Browser but I still want my ability to customize the locations of things.

  4. Review - OpenOffice.org for Windows

    2.0 Beta 2 (Aug 31, 2005)

    DigiBrian,
    You oviously do not know a whole lot on this.
    First Sun Microsystems Owns this!! They make money!

    2. You do not understand how open source works obviously.

    3. Free vs. Paid does this mean that you do not believe that quality work is quality work reguardless. Does the idea of people helping to make something out of their desire to help make it any less then some one being paid to do something as a job? Absolutely NOT!

    Open Office is something you should get and try. If it works for you then you save if not your only out a little time.

    Many people I personally know have used it and even uses it to write books. Robin "Roblimo" Miller Editor for Slashdot, NewsForge, Linux.com, Wil Wheaton from Star Trek Next Generation. Are two such people whom have used it on a professional level. So perhaps you should try it.

    It rocks and only gets better.

    BP.

  5. Review - The GIMP

    2.3.3 Development (Aug 12, 2005)

    If you want a little more ease of use, then you might want to try GimpShop the menus are more like Photoshop.

    There is a Windows, Mac, Unix/Linux versions. It is still a work in progress which would be cool to have on here.

    Hope to see this on here soon.

  6. Comment - HP Slashes Jobs, Pays CIO $15.3 Million

    2.3.3 Development (Jul 18, 2005 - 5:19 PM)

    Hey Pal,
    You want to tell that to my kids? You want them to think that people like you are making things better?

    Also I was working for 15 to 20k less then the field was paying so jees that was not being competitive and they were the ones who said this is what they were paying.

    Your a comedian. Must be a HP stock holder.

    OBTW, I guess you do not believe in raises for any workers below a CEO either do you?

  7. Comment - HP Slashes Jobs, Pays CIO $15.3 Million

    2.3.3 Development (Jul 18, 2005 - 3:22 PM)

    I am refusing to by another HP,Compaq Product.
    This is wrong what happened to the Pride in the US workers?

    Talk about sell outs and thieves. This whole cutting US I.T. and Tech Workers have better stop. I think it is time to let the Federal Government Jump in and check into Treason from companies like this.

    Stealing Benefits, Jobs, and Trades has got to stop. We have already given enough to the rest of the world.

    We are paying higher Fuel Prices, loosing a Trade that helped put serious money in the economy. Let the CEO have to face these people and have to hear about each one being impacted.

    Also they are cutting demand for people getting any more Technical Training which also means closing of Schools as well.

    Tell you what CEO tell your kids their new Nike's comes from cutting people and making them starve in AMERICA yeah show your a Patriot you sick $OB.

    Also when you continue to see loosing money and you can not figure out you also cut many of your own customers. You are creating a continuous spiral of your own doing.

    I say make each Corporate Officer face an IRS audit, and then the Share Holders.

    Gees a $1,000.00 per cut employee talk about incentive to be a PO$.

    Also Billweh you are correct they do not care about anyone anymore. It is greed and it is sell outs that are destroying our economy only the ones with money have no problem with this fram of thinking. They care less I say they need to be called upon it.

    IBM,HP,Compaq, yeah the Leaders are now destroying Millions of workers and care less.

    God I need to go before I vomit.

  9. Comment - IBM Moving 14,000 Jobs to India

    2.3.3 Development (Jun 26, 2005 - 8:40 PM)

    The thing is not only are they cutting jobs but their own customers.

    There needs to be some groups put together to show Congress, and the Media the destruction of the Tech Sector.

    As mentioned it is stealing from us the ones who spent time and money only to log it into data bases to help people in sweat shop call centers get a job.

    Let's get Tech Teachers, top I.T. people together and take pictures of the faces of the victims that has their lives destroyed to greed.

    We try to better our selves, we try to have high levels of education to help drive the future and we get spit on by CEO's and CIO's whom most are not capable of being effective.

    Yeah blam Techs for Ceo's and Presidents, and Vp's etc in bussiness spending Millions on Tech Devices to have as toys and they blam the I.T. people for expense.

    There needs to be fines of $50,000.00 per employee cut, + 4 years of Training and all expenses to help get people back on thier feet.

    So when you CEO's smile giving your kids their Mp3 players, Thier Laptops, their new cars, etc., Smile at them and say hey I destroyed a few hundred other familys so you can have it so well.

    You are cutting Jobs, Destroying Lives of Teachers as well and the economy, You are loosing customers due to poor Tech Support by cutting the quality workers, which turns many off. You are also too stupid to lower cost on the products to make up in volume.

    Don't you idiots get it in 5 years you keep cutting and it still is not working. For once admit that you have made a mistake. Bring our Jobs and Lives back. Unless your too spineless which seems to be proven other wise.

    I am disgraced that I bothered to Vote funny Jeb in Florida tried to create education to help people get jobs including Operation Pay Check in Florida included M.C.S.E., Orcale, etc training and yet his brother thinks more of non Us Citizens then his own. Talk about conflicts.

    Thanks Jeb now I am more disgusted because I put time into training and certifications only to say well look at a piece of paper that means nothing except to show that a Truck Driver can now earn more then a I.T. person.

  10. Comment - IBM Moving 14,000 Jobs to India

    2.3.3 Development (Jun 25, 2005 - 12:08 AM)

    I am sick of this. Every time it is move to India. You know today I was working a TEMP job 1st tech job in about a year and the other 4 I was working with on the assignment all said it has been a year.

    Me and these temps I worked with have about 40 years plus of I.T. between us.

    This is not right. Why doesn't anyone believe in AMERICA any more. Just a bunch of sell outs trying to save a buck for Stock prices to stay up.

    If a natural disaster ever hits India it will bring about 1/3 of our Company's to their knees since they have dumped all these jobs.

    It is ridiculous. For anyone to say this is not bad try loosing a job that was paying $30,000.00 and make less then 17k a year. Try looking at people with pride knowing you spent hundreds of thousands of dollars for training only to be treated like a low life.

    Not only is this destroying the I.T. sector it is also destroying peoples lives. Even Tech Schools are going down in flames.

    It's the quick buck save and long term demise. To take away peoples lives with years of Schooling and Education College and Tech School.

    I wish we would have a Million Tech Worker March on the White House Lawns and make these CEO's have to look at the faces of the Lives they have destroyed. Look at our Children's Faces whom thought that perhaps they wanted to be Techs, System Engineers, Network Admins, and to realize that they now have a better chance as a Burger Flipper.

    I dare the CEO's of these Company's to be able to stare face to face with the people whom they sold out.

    To me it's a act of Treason : Etymology: Middle English tresoun, from Old French traison, from Latin tradition-, traditio act of handing over, from tradere to hand over, betray -- more at TRAITOR
    1 : the betrayal of a trust : TREACHERY
    2 : the offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance or to kill or personally injure the sovereign or the sovereign's family

    For once does anyone have any Patriotism left besides our dying soldiers? Does anyone have one ounce of Pride and belief left? Does anyone give a D*mn anymore?

    Enough of these sell outs and these storys. Let's see something positive and something that shows a bit of Americian Pride.
