  1. Review - Winamp 5 Full

    5.02 (Feb 17, 2004)

    Winamp 5 is fantastic. I was very disappointed upon the release of Winamp 3 and subsequently went back to Winamp 2.9x. When I downloaded Winamp 5 the night it came out, I was hooked. It had everything I ever wanted in a media player. It was so good, I bought it then and there. Well done Nullsoft. A champion effort!

  2. Review - Wasabi

    3.0 Build #488d (Mar 4, 2003)

    Winamp 3 leaves a lot to be desired as a media player. Its very very buggy for a full release. But because i still love the winamp layout, I reccomend sticking to Winamp 2.81. With regard to 2.81's audio quality issue, I found changing the audio output plugin from the DirectX output to WaveOUT plugin fixes that problem.

    Oh come on! Apple hasn't had an original idea since it stole the idea of the GUI from Xerox PARC

  4. Comment - Microsoft acknowledges Vista kernel elevation vulnerability

    I didn't like UAC coming from XP to Vista. Then I used a Mac. Every time I want to do something, I need to SU. How is that any different from UAC. Both equally annoying, but both effective. IF USED. At the end of the day, you can't help someone that doesn't want help.

    Windows Vista was built from the ground up with Security in mind also. No operating system will ever be 100% secure. It's the nature of life. Defence in depth is the solution that all OS developers employ to ensure protection. Sure there may be an exploit now, but it would have to circumvent other levels of security before that can be used. And it's been patched. As far as i'm concerned... Problem solved.

  6. Comment - Microsoft Aims to Replace JPEG Format

    3.0 Build #488d (Mar 8, 2007 - 8:25 PM)

    Once again, sweeping statements from the ill-informed and sadly mistaken. Microsoft have released a new image compression format that will be freely available to users. Whats the harm in that. The users will prevail. If it's better, we will know soon enough.

    They released and SDK. What more do you want them to do? Write a plugin for every flavour of every OS? Thats what open source communities are for.
