General Review Discussion / Re: Educational Software reviews?

according to the blurb in there, you might find lectures for some of the courses, depends on the lecturer i would imagine, i know at the university i go to that very few of the lectures are even recorded in audio let alone video, i think it would be best used as guided reading through a topic and if you find some lectures it would be a bonus

MIT OCW provides users with open access to the syllabi, lecture notes, course calendars, problem sets and solutions, exams, reading lists, even a selection of video lectures,

I like mouser's and app's idea, I think the current debate on file managers demonstrates that what is great for one person just doesn't fit the needs of the next

it also saves the time of heading off to evernote to see if there is anything you want in there, of course it does mean i will have to learn to spell foucault or whatever his name is lol

That’s excellent news Darwin, i have it downloading now, my evernote database is growing rapidly and Archivarius with locate is providing all my search needs at present and this will just make it soo much more useful

From my playing with powerdesk it almost replaces windows explorer, windows explorer still sometimes opens from within powerdesk, but i've turned that option off now anyway.  So now I have explorer2 and powerdesk waiting and willing in my quicklaunch bar. 

I did look at TC but i gave up, addons here plugins there, sheeesh, no wonder its website gets so many hits, you got to keep going back there to find new things to plug into it.  I've done it with firefox, which is still my browser of choice, and with foobar, which i gave up on, and for me, something that works well out of the box with options just a configuration dialog away is important.

Everyone is going to have different requirements, and to me those 'challenges' are somewhat arcane and verge on the 'yeah, well, who cares?' But each to their own and the xplorer2 developr who's name i've forgotten, sorry  :-[, hit it when he said, its like your favourite football team lol.

Must say if i want to look at my mp3 i use my music player, has all those columns.

 :-[ only 2 here lol, i sympathize Darwin, i really do, and i'm sure if i wasn't broke already all this software would send me that way  ;)  Of course there are some great freebies and cheapies, like screenshot captor, only 1 i use now, and process tamer, (makes note to self, must send some credits soon, these are worth more than a kind word and pleasant thoughts)

« Last post by Grorgy on August 27, 2007, 06:18 AM »
I've been having a great time playing with RSS readers following this thread, for me the on line ones just dont do it, lots of good features and extremely convenient in many ways, but im usually on a dial up connection and they load so slowly, greatnews has got my vote so far, i'm not a dedicated user of RSS so i havent looked at the ones that cost anything yet, tho this could change, but greatnews seems to offer all i need, is responsive and works  :)  Oh i also tried sage, the firefox extension, it was ok when i only had a handful of feeds.

Thanks for that Darwin, that's what i thought it should do, but for some reason it never has for me, there must be some conflict there I suppose.  The only one i can think of that could be causing it is DM2, one day I'll try turning it off see what happens then.

I had a hard time uninstalling Comodo, i don't really know how good it is or otherwise, it does well on the tests apparently, but it was far too 'noisy' for me, but it left so much stuff behind in registry that I couldn't get windows to accept that it had gone and Kaspersky was there (I went for the suite, just laziness mainly lol).

As for the memory, I upgraded the memory to 768 from 512, and i noticed no difference in the speed of the laptop, but it did become much more stable, that one change has resulted in a reduction of blues screen crashes from 2 or 3 a day to maybe 1 a week if i install something it doesn't like.  For me anyway it was money well spent.

Shouldn't the first criteria of choosing any software be - does it do what i want it to do and do it well?  If the answer is yes then company policy on forums would seem to be a relatively minor point,  I seem to remember posts about some vendors who charge for placing bug reports, doesn't make me think very kind thoughts about them, but if they make what you need then thats where you gotta go surely?
