  1. Review - NewsLeecher

    3.5 Beta 9 (May 9, 2006)

    I am with Forgie on this one, this is one software package, I encourage, and I have a license for.. Kinda ironic considering its used to download games and software from NewsGroups.. :)

    But it is very good software.

  2. Review - Opera for Windows

    9.0 Build 8367 Beta (Apr 11, 2006)

    MarcFou. By my calc, that's 3.625!

    But good just the same, not quite a 4, but maybe I will help it a bit.

    This build is definately better than previous builds.

  3. Review - Process Explorer

    10.05 (Feb 14, 2006)

    Why do people insist on writing bad reviews because they deem it unneccessary to download so many updates or keep up with technology?

    Crashoveride, if I had the ability, I would kill your post. Updates are NOT bad, if you don't need them don't download them. They are for keeping up with changes, it doesn't mean there are problems, they could be continually enhancing the product, you twit.

    Keep comments to product knowledge and technical info, not related to opinion.

  4. Review - AMD Catalyst Drivers for Windows

    5.12 (Dec 8, 2005)

    No Problems here. Solid performance, great as ever. I think people that have problems, are because you aren't reverting the changes to default then reset them to what you like...

    After the new driver is installed..

  5. Review - NewsLeecher

    3.5 Beta 1 (Nov 29, 2005)

    Now that's what I call a review, good work Chinch. I am sorry it didn't work out for you, but I haven't had similar probs. I have used 2.1, all beta, and final, and I am on 3.0 version, and looking forward to 3.5. I have tried other "popular" news group readers, but this one really works well. Its very stable for me, and its intuitive.

    If I have to get 1 negative, you can only search 3 newsgroups at once, but that super search feature is very nice.. Maybe I don't have something set correctly, but overall I am very pleased with this product. One of the best investments I have made in my software collection.

  6. Comment - Tech Giants Interested in Patent Case

    3.5 Beta 1 (Jun 26, 2006 - 6:47 PM)

    Hey dumb ass, I did read the article. are you illiterate or just stupid?

    *While an initial federal court ruling threw out Teleflex's patents, calling them "obvious," an appeals court overturned that decision*

    Maybe you can't read? What the **** does that say, dork? It is cleary CONTRADICTED by other articles, you dimwitted bafoon. I did research, and this isn't the first time this has happened, you imbecile. So don't go ranting about me being a troll when its obvious you are as stupid as they are. The article was NOT complete, nor was it accurate.

    That's all I was trying to say, you idiot.

    Why don't you go play with your toys, this article is above you, punk.

  7. Comment - Tech Giants Interested in Patent Case

    3.5 Beta 1 (Jun 26, 2006 - 5:52 PM)

    You know, I grow tired of this BS by BN. They Continually give bad or missing info. Here is another such article.

    *The Court will address whether a basic statutory condition for patentability in the United States - that claimed subject matter be "nonobvious" -- has been improperly weakened over the past 23 years by a specialized intermediate appellate court, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. James W. Dabney, a partner at New York's Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, is counsel of record for the petitioner, KSR. Professor John F. Duffy, of counsel to Fried Frank resident in Washington, D.C., is also centrally involved in the Supreme Court effort.*

    *Although the KSR case itself involves mechanical technology (adjustable accelerator pedals for cars and trucks), the broader issue concerns the fundamental standard of patentability, which governs the availability of patent protection in all cases and for all technologies. The question presented in the KSR case is thus of practical importance to any company that may apply for, or is potentially affected by the grant or the assertion of a United States patent.*

    its non-obvious, according to other sources..

    *Patent lawyers say the case could lead to a major shift in U.S. patent law, which requires inventions to be "non-obvious" in order to be patentable.

    "Obviousness is the core issue of over 90 percent of all cases," said Harold Wegner, a patent lawyer with the firm Foley & Lardner.

    Most patents contain combinations of previous inventions. And if the high court agrees with KSR, it would raise the standard for what can be patented.*

    It's getting so I have to cross check everything for not only validity but for spelling and continuity and cohesion. Are the Betanews editors getting sloppy or what?

    Well do something about it, all you keep doing is replying to my comments. You don't like it, I can find some other forums you can belong to. YOU are the one complaining. Evidently its not as bad as you contest.
