   Review - GrabIt

   1.4.7 Build 856 Beta (Jun 6, 2004)

   I like this product, it is easy and fast. Good work.
   
   @Tokar: "I don't want to hear this crap from him about "I don't have time to code all day." Know your role and shut your mouth is all i got to say."
   You said this.
   Why don't you try creating such a product while having a life and a job and all.
   Use the program and be glad it is free...

   Review - Quintessential Media Player

   4.50 (Apr 17, 2004)

   I've been using QP (or QCD) since 4.11 came out, and nearly every developer version in between.
   And now with 4.50 out, it can just say that this is the ultimate media player on my machine. I rarely have to use other media players anymore, only for divx files I use BSPlayer (which suits my needs there, never really tried using QCD for divx's)

   Interesting comment indeed. And on the whole I agree.
   But I do not agree with you on the international part of your comment.
   Here in the Netherlands we had a team stand by almost 1 day after the hurricane hit, to send to the US to help out (levees inspection/repair team), but they had to wait for an OK from the US government, which didn't arrive... even more remarkable, I saw a press conference from Pres. Bush, in which he stated that the US did not need help from abroad, and that they could solve this problem themselves.
   (That is most likely why Canada and Europe didn't react sooner, while they knew what a ludicrous assumption it was)
   
   Why do people say that Bush was late in reacting to this?
   This hurricane hit was predicted quite some time before it hit. But no evacuation plan was executed. But that is not just Bush' fault, but more the failing of my governmental institutions, including the mayor of N.O.
   But Pres. Bush didn't even interrupt his vacation for this. No, he went on like 'business as usual'... while it wasn't anything like business as usual.

   @ARC Employee
   thank you and your colleagues for all your hard work.. I'm sure many people in the hurt areas appreciate what you do. And I hope people now come together and help eachother out, and clean up the mess Katrina left behind.
   And that the people of New Orleans can go home soon.

   I think the problem is not really in the fact that they took a small percentage, but that they closed down the account without prior notice.
   That is inexcusable, especially in this case. In every instance, before Paypal freezes an account, it should aprise the owner of the account of the situation, and then the owner can decide whether the situation is wanted or not. (or if he does not reply within a certain timespan, Paypal can close it).
   But I think this safeguard is only for situations where there are withdrawals not deposits. It is just plain stupid if Paypal flags an account, just because a lot of people send money to it. It would be different, if a lot of money went the other way in such a short time, to so many paypal accounts.
   
   Paypal has a lot of responsibility, and they should handle that carefully.

8. Comment - 10 Years On: Windows 95 Remembered

   1.4 (Aug 25, 2005 - 4:41 PM)

   No one wants to hear about how Windows crashed 50 times a day because you're the user that IT departments cuss at when you leave the room.

   
   I am sorry to say, but I do have a crashing Windows (though XP is indeed much sturdier etc than its predecessors)... and I _am_ an IT guy...
   
   For me, Windows gets more and more irritating. But of course no OS is foolproof, and anything can go wrong.
   Not even Linux is a saint :)
