   Review - muCommander for Mac OS X

   0.8.3 (Aug 15, 2009)

   has quite a bit of issues. It's a good work on the way, but still needs a lot more and there doesn't seem to be any fast-paced development. In fact, this version, 0.8.3 has been around for quite some time. I miss tabs from Total Commander, and sometimes it just hangs. It feels like it could be much more integrated than it is, and it's unreliable to the point where I'm not really using it. It's also very slow to load.

   Review - AIMP

   2.60 Build 472 Beta 1 (May 12, 2009)

   Fixed windows 7 issue with weird startup message. The only gripe I have now is that I can't minimize it without it going to tray. Maybe I'm missing something.

   Review - FreeBSD

   7.2 (May 8, 2009)

   my server OS of choice for many years. My only gripe is that zfs hasn't been fully integrated in the bootloader yet which prevents anyone to using it on the boot partition (root can be done, not boot).

   Review - Glass2k

   0.9.2 Beta (May 8, 2009)

   Still works in Windows 7. Thank goodness the default right click can actually be changed. (I just noticed) I was worried about being stuck with right-click only to change settings.

   Review - TransWin

   1.0.3 (May 8, 2009)

   tested in windows 7.
   
   It just made ALL my windows transparent. Settings were unintuative, and the $20 prospect was just a complete turnoff.

   It may seem that way, but I'm not. You'll have to take my word for it. I think I have clarified the point as much as I can. If you don't see the point by now, then either I can't communicate my point better, or you're not understanding what I mean. Either way, it's pointless to go on.

   Also remember that Pirate bay has not illegally hosted any files. Furthermore, Swedish copyright laws are different from US ones.

   I'm saying the illegal activies are and will continue to occur, not because people feel it's legal or not, but simply because it's there for the taking. If corporations spent more effort on making it just as good as for the taking, but making it legal by some online downloads or whatever, then we could stem the illegal activity.
   
   What we really want to do is to curb the incentive to download things illegally. You can make all the laws you want, but if people don't believe in it, or if it's easy enough to circumvent, they will. My proposal is simply that companies make it easier to aquire their products legally.
   
   I'm not justifying lazyness by any means, although your post seems to go a long way to indicate that somehow I have. I'm simply saying this "solution", of going after pirate bay will not work because the demand will remain the same.

   Greed: excessive desire to acquire or possess more (especially more material wealth) than one needs or deserves
   
   I don't think many have this excessive desire. People get it mostly because it's easier.
   So yes, it's not necessarily greed.

    corporate abuse of civil rights shouldn't exist either, but it does.
    
    The corporations need to get with the times as opposed to targetting people. They are driven by greed. People are most likely driven by lazyness or some other factor that the corporations need to address instead of abusing government power to go after citizens.
