Nice PDA, but has ways to go

Sat, 28 Dec 2002 14:14:32 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author prostoalex - I was not really looking actively for a PDA, but when a good one showed up for a reasonable price on Amazon.com, I decided to go with Sharp Zaurus. Before that I have read quite a few positive reviews, and decided that Zaurus seemed to be a good choice...

If you buy just one book on PHP, get this one

Sun, 4 Nov 2001 08:21:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author prostoalex - Very seldom a computer book gets praise from its readers. See, computer professionals tend to be quite picky and generally rejoice when they can prove the author of the book wrong or spot just an outright bug in the code provided with the book. I admit,...

BizRate.com: Rate this Biz!

Thu, 6 Sep 2001 03:18:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author prostoalex - BizRate.com is one of those sites that sometimes your friend or local newspaper points you to, you check them out and then you forget. However, analyzing my online spending and the stuff I bought on the Internet over the past 6 months, I realize that...

Is Qwest DSL for you?

Tue, 4 Sep 2001 05:29:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author prostoalex - The relationship with the DSL providers is usually a love-hate one. Either you see a person giving five-star to their operator, praising for worriless installation, affordable prices and reasonably good service, or there’s an irate customer who’s been...

Java How to Program: Questions Answered

Tue, 4 Sep 2001 03:34:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author prostoalex - It’s quite amazing to read the reviews of this book on Epinions and find just several completely opposite impressions. I can proudly admit that I have read personally the entire book and thus won’t be presenting you with a perspective after reading the...

An Upscale Touch in the Heart of Silicon Valley

Tue, 4 Sep 2001 01:31:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author prostoalex - Fairmont is probably one of the best-known hotels if you visit San Jose and are looking to stay in a nice place. With the per-night rate over $200 it is perhaps not the most suitable accommodations for a family traveler, but hey, most of the San Jose...

You will want to come back

Sat, 11 Aug 2001 19:21:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author prostoalex - It is quite interesting that if you go to the Mt Rainier page on Epinions, there are no opinions not recommending it, at least so far. Assuming that everyone who wrote an opinion has visited the national monument, it would be safe to assume that everyone...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author prostoalex - For quite a while I have been hosting my personal Web site with VirtualAve, and until recently was quite satisfied with their offer.

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author prostoalex - I first picked up the magazine when I was on a developer convention down in Silicon Valley, and we were entering the room that before was occupied with some other attendants, and Family PC copies were left on the chairs and on the table. Then I stumbled...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author prostoalex - We are all particularly selective when it comes to the bathroom literature.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author prostoalex - This software package came with the new CD-RW from TDK and although it included some software under TDK brand, the Nero Burning Rom just seemed so much more familiar with the grey Windows interface and not too many options to choose from.

Sun, 22 Apr 2001 08:16:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author prostoalex - We had this book for the Perl class last quarter and even though it didn't seem to be that powerful when being compared with the other 1,000-pasge publications, it turned out to be pretty good and informative.

A vague book for a vague language

Sat, 21 Apr 2001 07:41:56 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author prostoalex - This book is very vague and non-specific, but so is the language. The general flow of the book reminds me of the introductory freshman essay for English program, where you are judged not on what you write, but how much you write. To be honest, I am...

Sat, 21 Apr 2001 02:42:01 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author prostoalex - We’ve been using this book in the ASP class I was taking, and generally it is a comprehensive edition that lets you start learning ASP, although there some flaws to it as well.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author prostoalex - If you are tired walking crowded Miami downtown and just want to see something different for a change, after having been to the lush Miami Beach, Coral Gables and Coconut Grove area, try Little Havana.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author prostoalex - I have spent about a week in Miami Beach, after getting a newsletter about the airline sale on tickets to Florida, which just made me want to detach from the Washington winter and spend a week on a nice warm beach. In this opinion I will try to share my...

Media Jukebox: Finally, all in one RA, RM, MP3, etc.

Mon, 11 Dec 2000 09:44:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author prostoalex - If you don't understand most of the abbreviations from the title, don't worry, the music industry has got so big and incomprehensible, that each company out there is right now coming out with their own format, and convincing the others that it's really...

Forget the Plot, Enjoy the Scenery

Mon, 11 Dec 2000 09:28:12 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author prostoalex - Vertical Limit is packed with action and events happening so quickly, that you can hardly follow them. This opinion reveals minor details about the plot of the movie as it is hard to describe what the plot actually is. All right, maybe it's not that hard...

Pulse Player: The matter is the form, not the contents

Fri, 8 Dec 2000 04:21:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author prostoalex - Pulse Player can be characterized as a piece of software that is targeted towards the people who value the design concepts more than the functionality. If you think about it, that might hold some reason to it, as sometimes all you need is just an MP3...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author prostoalex - FlexTouch 2.0 Keyboard Control Center might not look that impressive, until you really discover what kind of tweaking they offer. The installation of the program goes smoothly and after having it on your computer, you will see a little yellow icon in...
