  1. Review - Core Temp

    0.97.1 (Mar 14, 2008)

    newest version says my core #1 is 13C, and my core #2 is 1C.

    PC Probe says 35C.

    Core Temp still not close.

  2. Review - Core Temp

    0.97 (Mar 6, 2008)

    Well, 9.6 said my processor was running at -11C.
    9.7 is closer (9C core 1, -5C core 2), but still outside the realm of the possible.
    Still useless.

  3. Review - Stellarium for Windows

    0.9.1 (Jan 17, 2008)

    The program itself is great. However, I locked it up every time I tried to set the location from the configuration panel. Fortunately, it is easy to edit the ini file, and avoid this problem.

    When this is fixed, I would give 5 stars.

    I would particularly like documentation on making my own landscape photos.

  4. Review - Core Temp

    0.96 (Jan 2, 2008)

    I sincerely doubt that my processor is running at -11C.

  5. Review - NVIDIA nTune

    5.00.11.06 (Aug 30, 2006)

    The NTune monitor shows my CPU temperature at 248C or 478F. It shows my CPU fan at 31,889 rpm.

    If you can't trust something as simple as monitoring a temperature sensor or speed sensor, would you trust it to "tune" your computer?

    I uninstalled after checking the monitor settings...

  6. Comment - Out-of-band security patch addresses critical Windows vulnerability

    5.00.11.06 (Oct 24, 2008 - 4:00 PM)

    Has anyone else had any problems with this patch? Two of my clients could no longer connect (could not get DHCP address from router) after the patch. Functionality returned after uninstalling the patch.

    I guess that's a security fix. Hose the internet connection, and you can't get hacked...

  7. Comment - Dell's new approach to the Vista migration problem

    5.00.11.06 (Mar 30, 2008 - 6:55 PM)

    I believe that he is saying that his machine is crap, but XP runs fine, and that Vista runs like crap on a machine that is fine.

  8. Comment - Mozilla CEO: Apple Safari update is 'just wrong'

    5.00.11.06 (Mar 24, 2008 - 10:27 PM)

    How about Google Desktop and Google Toolbar? I consider those "junk".
    And Google Toolbar is installed with RealPlayer and WinZip unless you uncheck the box...

  9. Comment - Mozilla releases Firefox 3.0 Beta 3, adds several features

    5.00.11.06 (Feb 13, 2008 - 2:11 PM)

    I use a blank homepage. Didn't even notice...

    I don't need a homepage... I never know where I want to go today :-)

  10. Comment - Mozilla releases Firefox 3.0 Beta 3, adds several features

    5.00.11.06 (Feb 13, 2008 - 2:09 PM)

    I changed from Opera. The number one new feature for me is the rendering engine. I only used Opera because it was the only browser that would render full pages correctly at 1600x1200 when zoomed. The new gecko engine brings FF3 up to speed in zoomed rendering. I prefer the customization that I can get with FF3 over Opera. The Download Helper extension is great, as well as forecastfox, and the all-in-one sidebar.
