   Review - CCleaner for Windows

   1.24.180 (Oct 4, 2005)

   Dustdevil, I take it that you want to blame a well-made and powerful program for your inability to protect yourself from your own stupidity?
   
   CCleaner will only delete your cookies if you tell it to.

   Review - Mozilla Thunderbird for Windows

   1.0.7 (Sep 30, 2005)

   Speaking of which, this being "Betanews", why isn't Thunderbird 1.5 beta1 on available on here?

   Review - Mozilla Firefox for Windows

   1.0.4 (May 12, 2005)

   To help offset the idiotic rating of UTAKER...

   Review - BitComet (32-bit)

   0.58 (May 6, 2005)

   Interesting choice of screenshots, considering all of the downloads shown are most likely illegal.

   Review - RegSeeker

   1.35 Beta (Apr 25, 2005)

   I really like the software, the cleaner works well and the search function is really handy. I actually like not having an installer and having more reg entries and more stuff is installed hither and yon.

   Hey, no problem. I figured that you probably just misread things, being upset. A lot of these comments are just attempts to get a rise out of folks.
   
   Personally, like CowboyX, I don't have a problem that my tax dollars are being used to create this game. The Army has an advertising budget, and I enjoy playing this game a whole lot more than watching ads on tv. This advertising serves a two-fold purpose: one, to educate and create goodwill towards the Army, both in the US and abroad, and two, I'm certain that they hope that through the game young people might be impressed with the mission and professionalism of Army enough to consider serving themselves.
   
   If posters here actually played the game, they'd see that the creators have made great efforts to make it more than just a first-person shoot-up.

   "Portal3 and Mosimea's comments are derogatory as outsiders looking in."
   
   You might want to re-read my posts. I think you'll find the only derogatory comments I made were towards Portal3, robertguda and their ilk. I did use sarcasm to belittle their comments, so perhaps that was lost on you.
   
   Additionally, I spent 10 years of my life serving in the U.S. Army, over half of it overseas. I was happy to serve with some of the most capable, commited, patriotic, and selfless people around.

   I'm sure you're the first one to post similar thoughts about "Grand Theft Auto."
   
   I'll give you that shooting people in a game may desensitize people, but then you go off the deep end with cheap shots against America.
   
   Americans don't deserve to live on the planet? You may believe that the US rushed to war in Iraq, but are you really trying to say that the US should have negotiated with bin Laden, Al Qaeda, and the Taliban in Afghanistan?
   
   You're such a troll. US military serve because they enjoy killing?
   
   You're very naive to believe that all problems can be negotiated away.

   Are you really that stupid to not sense sarcasm when you read it?

    Yep, you've sure nailed us Americans. All we do is run around the world attacking innocent countries. Totally unjustified and unprevoked.
    
    I totally agree with you - if we'd only disband our military, nothing like people flying airplanes into skyscrapers would ever happen nor would perfectly reasonable people like Kim il-Jung build nukes while starving his own people.
    
    Just what world do you live in? Sheesh.
    
    Have you ever thought that your sheltered life may have been partially bought by the blood shed by U.S. military personnel?
