  1. Review - Windows PowerShell

    Beta 2 (Sep 14, 2005)

    While it's good to see a more full featured shell comming to windows, does a shell need to take up 25MB of memory and a long time to start? (10sec on 2GHz) Tab completion doesn't work well with directories and a lot of other stuff needs fixed.

  2. Review - Paint.NET

    2 Alpha 4 (Nov 30, 2004)

    I would like to point out that they pretty much just copied Paint Shop Pro's interface, the buttons especially.

  3. Comment - Vista 'Enterprise CTP' Feature Complete

    2 Alpha 4 (Feb 23, 2006 - 10:26 AM)

    How can they say this is feature complete? There is still now indication of a side bar and compatibility with existing DirectX and OpenGL applications is extreamly low.

  4. Comment - Napster + AIM = MP3s?

    2 Alpha 4 (Aug 11, 2000 - 2:30 AM)

    Err, I do beleve that AIM can "tunnel" firewalls. That is if only one of the parties is behind one. If both parties are behind a firewall, then your out of luck. Even with AIMster.

    The only way around this is to involve a third party with this software to perticipate in the file transfer. Which I highly doubt that AIMster will ever provide that capability.

    This is really just another lame attempt at exploiting napster and gnutella's popularity.

    have fun.

  5. Comment - V2_OS - What is It

    2 Alpha 4 (Aug 3, 2000 - 12:42 AM)

    There is nothing special about this operating system. It looks like a Computer Architecture class project run amuck.

    If a operating system that fits on a single floppy is what is wanted, there are several out there (besides a DOS boot disk) based on Linux. These are complete with several different file systems, network drivers, and the like. (two I know and have used are: http://trinux.sourceforge.net/ and http://www.toms.net/~toehser/rb/ )

    have fun.
