  1. Review - Vuze for Windows

    2.3.0.0 (May 3, 2005)

    Great program. Lots of new features I don't what to do with yet. I'm only rating it 4 because of the high memory usage.

    To those with 100% CPU usage problems. I seem to remember the following helping with some systems:
    Uninstall all versions of java (inc updates), then run a clean install of the latest version.

  2. Review - Mozilla Firefox for Windows (v2)

    1.0.1 (Feb 25, 2005)

    Great browser. Fast and safe. I now use it as my default browser on all my computers.

    I didn't have to uninstall to upgrade to the lastest version. However I did have a problem with my plugins. It disabled them and I couldn't find an easy way to re-enable them. In the end I had go to the plugins site and re-install them.

    Hopefully in a future version they'll add a feature to enable/disable individual plugins.

  3. Comment - P2P Future Darkens as eDonkey Closes

    There are lots of good example of p2p technology being used in an innovative way:
    - Radio stations broadcasting on the internet using bittorrent style software to save on bandwidth costs;
    - Software developers releasing new versions and patches (I often download new linux updates this way);
    - New music artists and movie directors wanting to get noticed;
    - TV - one day TV may be distributed over the internet using bittorrent style technology.

  4. Comment - Crazy Frog Ringtone Under Fire in UK

    I just wish they would stop playing it (at what seems to be) every ad break on every channel.

    I watch TV to escape the annoyances of daily life not have it thrust in my face every 10-15 mins.

    Anyone else notice that these days, the ads seem to have the volume twice that of the actual TV programme.

  5. Comment - Top Spammer Gets 9 Years in Prison

    How about a day inside prison for every spam email sent.

  6. Comment - IE6 Integrated Only?

    1.0.1 (Jan 15, 2001 - 9:19 PM)

    Does anyone know the minimum hardware requirements to run Whistler. Will it work on my 300Mhz, 32MB RAM machine? Or will I need 64/128MB or more RAM etc.

    Are you running it on Win 9x/ME or Win2K or Whistler?
