  1. Review - KDE

    3.4 Alpha 1 (Dec 9, 2004)

    I can't give a rating for this, because I have no computer on which to install it, but BetaNews says I must, so I give it a 4 (It's unfair to rate the program poorly, but I have not ever used it myself, although I have mostly heard praise for it). In any event, that's not my purpose for replying.

    As for Blackcherry; good job moron; with such an effectively rigorous comparison of this to Windows and evaluation of its weak points, I am compelled to stick with Windows. Oh, wait.

    Instead of subscribing to the endless cycle of counter-countercultures, why not TELL ME WHY I shouldn't use this?

  2. Review - Web Stream Recorder Pro

    1.0 Beta 3 (Aug 16, 2004)

    well, if you stream over $40 of vids...

    Keep in mind though that a) This is theft and b) Streaming media is much lower quality than what you would purchase otherwise.

  3. Review - SysTrayX

    3.60.102 Beta (Aug 12, 2004)

    Useless program.

    Unless you just happen to either have a small-resolution screen (your own damn fault, you cheap bas****, spend a little on graphics), or you run a million programs on the systray.

    Of course, there are several ways around this.

    First, put the taskbar on the side; it makes life so much easier on navigation and space issues. You triple the space of your QuickLaunch bar, and all the tasbar buttons are vertically stored, taking up a little less than half the space a horizontal arrangement affords.

    Second, try turning off some systray icons. Yes, some programs actually let you choose (though not all, an unfortunate oversight of many a programmer) where the link to the program will be; on the taskbar, or the systray. Keep in mind that extraneous bulls*** icons like Winamp Agent and QuickTime Tray that do little more than suck up resources for the lazy and uncreative are blights on the systray. Keep pnly what you need and can't remove; everything else; just try reorganizing your Start Menu by categories; it worked for me damn well.
