Costly, but well worth it

Sun, 22 Jul 2001 23:46:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Zeromemory - I would not have survived Algebra II if I had not purchased the TI-89. It saved me countless hours of laborious work, which would have been unnecessary because I already understood the concepts, just that my scientific calculator would force me to work...

mIRC: If it was free, it would be perfect

Sun, 22 Jul 2001 18:23:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Zeromemory - mIRC has been the only IRC client I've used for the Windows platform, and it probably will be the only Windows IRC client I'll ever use. Indeed, it has rightly deserved such special treatment: its wealth of features, intuitive interface, and small file...

Zone Alarm: Good for home users, Businesses Stay Away

Wed, 18 Jul 2001 17:20:40 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Zeromemory - I am becoming tired of those who claim that, by running a firewall, their computers are unhackable. This is one serious misconception that must be cleared. While Zone Alarm is a decent firewall, it too is vulnerable to attacks against a system. However,...

Shields Up: And this is a security check?

Sun, 8 Jul 2001 00:44:53 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Zeromemory - I've worked on Unix systems for a great deal of time and feel comfortable securing them. When I first heard of Shields Up, I thought I had run into a comprehensive security analysis. What I got, though, was little more than a port scan, which even the...

FreeBSD: Not for beginners, but great for advanced users!

Sun, 8 Jul 2001 00:30:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Zeromemory - "BSD is for people that love Unix. Linux is for people that hate Windows."

This well-known quotation should be considered a guide for people who are planning to migrate from Windows to Linux or BSD (I don't see much reason for people to...

this is why programmers are not "dummies"

Sat, 3 Mar 2001 02:09:03 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Zeromemory - My dad is obsessed with the Dummy book series. He thinks they can teach everything in an easy to understand and comprehensive format. Sadly, "C++ for Dummies" possesses none of these traits.

Well, why did I get the book? My dad recommended it...

Cheap and overated

Wed, 12 Jul 2000 01:03:30 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Zeromemory - I have been a fan of all the the Command & Conquer games so far. When I heard that they were going to produce a sequel called Tiberian Sun, I glady waited in anticipation of a great what. However what I got doesn't even deserve the title of Command...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Zeromemory - I have been using various computer parts over the years. About every year I replace my motherboard. When it came around to replacing my motherboard I chose the Tyan Trinity 400.

What I look for in a motherboard is reliability, compatibility,...

S3 Diamond Viper Ultra 770: Viper V770 - Can't lose with it

Mon, 17 Apr 2000 01:42:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Zeromemory - In the world of today’s games, you cannot really get around if you don’t have a 3D card. Such games as Half-Life and Quake III practically require you to have one. Without one, you’d be left in the dust.

A perennial favorite among computer...

A great soundcard

Mon, 17 Apr 2000 01:38:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Zeromemory - I am an audio person. I enjoy listening to high-quality audio. I also like to play computer games. When you put the two together, you get the need for a very good sounding, hard working, and feature filled sound card. So when my old sound card died, I...

Intelogis Passport Network Starter Kit: Passport - Not yet ready

Mon, 17 Apr 2000 01:36:22 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Zeromemory - With the new advent of interconnectivity and Internet, a household with 2 or more computers should (and probably must) have a network. But the hard installation and confusing setup usually deters most home users from every installing one…until now.

HP 4200c - A good scanner

Sat, 15 Apr 2000 00:39:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Zeromemory - I'm into image editing. I used to have an old scanner from HP, one of those sheet-fed ones, and I was not pleased. So when I won a HP scanner, I was doubtful of its abilities.

These doubts were put to rest when I was able to test the HP 4200c...

Sennheiser - expensive but worth the money

Wed, 12 Apr 2000 18:57:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Zeromemory - I love music. Therefore, it was a simple matter for me to go out and buy a good pair of headphones (I was fed up with the cheap ones). I consider myself an audio fanatic, so I immediately skipped all the low-end headphones. When I was ready to choose, I...

Wed, 12 Apr 2000 18:39:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Zeromemory - Recently the music industry has been shocked by the arrival and popularity of the digital music format known as MP3. With this format, music can be compressed 11 times smaller and sound as good as a normal CD. Because of the small size of its files, MP3s...

Bleem!: Bleem - better than the Playstation

Tue, 7 Mar 2000 02:16:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Zeromemory - The first time I set my eyes on Bleem!, I ignored it. That was a long time ago, and Bleem! has come a long way since. The latest version, 1.5b, happened to be the version I got.

I purchased Bleem! because I did not have the cash to buy a real...
