   Review - ATI Catalyst Drivers for Windows XP

   7.10 (Oct 12, 2007)

   They are still selling cards? Who needs these drivers when all the cards since Catalyst 5.x have been second fiddle to Nvidia. ATI is really the dregs of bad drivers.

   Review - Linux Kernel

   2.6.23-rc6 (Sep 12, 2007)

   The Linux Kernel reminds me of Dr. Ron Paul, free and unencumbered.

   Review - µTorrent for Windows

   1.7.3 Build 4470 (Sep 6, 2007)

   Emergency, switch to Azureus / Vuze. Bit torrent recently went on a Jihad to close up the bittorrent source code and the protocol. They bought micro-u-torrent.
   
   Since Ashwin, Bram and the BitTorrent company are now closed source collaborators with the RIAA/MPAA, you are no longer safe using products coming from them. They also want to watch the media be distributed and the reason for closing the source was the ability for the client to talk back to Bittorrent, CALLING HOME.

   Review - CPU-Z

   1.41 (Sep 4, 2007)

   Needs a 4 and everyone's support as H. Oda's WCPUID is not longer being updated.
   
   I greatly appreciate these efforts and find the program useful.
   
   Also checkout SIW (System Information for Windows).

   Review - WinSCP

   4.0.4 (Sep 4, 2007)

   Been using 4.x for a few days. This program is absolutely awesome, and its free.

6. Comment - Top 5 non-obvious feature enhancements to Office 2010

   4.0.4 (Jul 16, 2009 - 8:15 AM)

   No classic interface = no buy. Period. End. Microsoft's PM's are childish on this issue. Ribbon is horrific.

7. Comment - Geeks vs. journalists: A tale of two worldviews

   4.0.4 (Jul 6, 2009 - 11:57 PM)

   As a chem major, I have to say that the reporting on science, physics, chemistry, material sciences and the like is a flaming joke. Unless I read from journals or some the chemistry rags, its like crayon and construction paper retarded. Its like South Park doing a spoofy "THE MORE YOU KNOW" moment would be far more enlightening. Heck, Reading Rainbow and half the kids shows are. It makes me think that Journalism, Politics, Sociologists, and most Economists are academically flawed and do whatever they can from learning anything core.

   " I want my interface back"
   
   QED. Hell yes. I'm done paying MSFT if they are done pleasing long-time users. Whoever is responsible for this Ribbon without a choice (I don't care about Ribbon if its a choice) gets horrible painful slow death cancer.

9. Comment - Sen. Hatch rails on the Pirate Bay, Canada

   4.0.4 (Jun 12, 2009 - 4:17 PM)

   The US economy is on fire, The Fed, treasury and banks steal trillions from the taxpayers. Water is running out (clean water from aquafirs and reservoirs). We need nuclear power and a solution to the energy crunch. This is shocking and embarrassing this guy thinks this is a priority to guard "old media" because it can't modernize. What a complete jerk.

10. Comment - Top 10 Windows 7 Features #5: Multitouch

    4.0.4 (May 17, 2009 - 1:37 PM)

    Been running the betas here and there up to 7077. Windows 7 is nothing. It removes features more than it adds. It Vista Service Pack 2.1. Microsoft had better het its head out of its butt and ribbon-obsession out of its GUIs or Windows 7 will flop, particularly in the enterprise with IT departments, again.
    
    What trash. They caught 90% of the market , then they go and change things.
