  1. Review - RightMark CPU Clock Utility

    2.15 (Aug 22, 2006)

    Great tool for laptops, and even for desktops if you want to control how your CPU scaling is regulated. Scaling down = less power usage = less heat = lower energy costs, extended battery lifetime, etc :)

  2. Review - Vuze for Windows

    2.4.0.3 Beta 8 (Apr 10, 2006)

    Even though I hate Java as a language, Azureus is one of the few Java applications I truly appreciate. You don't even notice it's using Java. More than enough features, it always just works. I've never experienced a crash, and the auto-updating feature has kept me from doing any manual work keeping my client up to date.

    It gets better and better and is open source.

  3. Review - PeerGuardian for Windows 2000/XP/2003

    2.0 Beta6b (Sep 20, 2005)

    wincement, you can't be serious can you?

    The actual developers were hijacked by a team member and now are only operating at peerguardian.sf.net. Currently the build available there may not point to blocklist.org, but "browsing to riaa.com" depends on your blocklists being up to date (or even there, youd didn't state either) and the "block HTTP" option to be enabled.

    The build there isn't any different, and they recommend using a different blocklist because blocklist.org has been hijacked as well, I'm using the one from bluetack and I think it's much better.

  4. Review - Ubuntu

    5.04 Hoary Hedgehog (Apr 9, 2005)

    Simply awesome.
    As for the lack of Multimedia support out of the box, that is incorrect. It comes with Totem for video and Rhythmbox for music.

  5. Review - Clam-AV

    0.3 (Jan 4, 2005)

    Sorry I haven't tried this yet, but if people are looking for a standalone ClamAV interface (ClamAV is actually a seperate project, I don't know why this one didn't change the name) check out http://www.clamwin.com/

    Erm, Britney is to music as McD is to food...

  7. Comment - Exploit Surfaces for Unpatched IE Flaw

    0.3 (Mar 27, 2006 - 1:34 PM)

    Yes...that's why Mozilla usually has fixes within 24 hours, and Microsoft waits till their patch tuesday or even later...

  8. Comment - MS: Windows More Reliable Than Linux

    0.3 (Mar 24, 2006 - 12:56 AM)

    These things you bring up are not the creation or fault of the operating system creators. They are the market and application creators. Linux is potentially a much more powerful gaming OS than windows, just most games are written for windows. (and video card drivers for that matter)

  9. Comment - New IE Bug Can Crash Browser

    0.3 (Mar 21, 2006 - 11:02 AM)

    Did you even read the article? It says there is an exploitable overflow. That means not only can you crash the browser, you can craft some code to run on the target machine and voila do whatever you want, install a virus, etc

    Fun times for IE, as usual.

  10. Comment - Novell Shows Off New Linux Desktop

    0.3 (Mar 10, 2006 - 12:43 AM)

    Yes....because windows is extremely polished. Most linux desktop environments are more polished than windows.
