Simple...People want more features running quickly at their fingertips...If you dont juice up the horspower it will run slower and seem like a crappy choice...It's only logical to have a high system requirment to support all the things that will have to be running in the background for better speed and launching time...Thi9nk how fast a 1gb 3Ghz HT proccesor starts up and loads apps....then try it on a 2Ghz P4 with 512...Not even comprable...So it shou

Reply to Why 'free updates for life' is bad for the customer... in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I have had one bad experience with "Subscription" based. I bought a pop up blocker called "Stopzilla", when you buy it it promises one free year of updates...But what they do not tell you anywere on the package is that once the 1 year is over, the software automatically locks itself and will not work when the year is up.....They informed me that is how subscriptions work...I told them well I use a lot of subscription software, and that they were the fi

I for one think that all these hacking contest are a great idea..It helps the developers of these OS to find the flaws and fix them...The truth is, neither OS is bullet proof...Till it is neither camp can claim JACK CRAP........These little hack test will eventually make it so difficult for even the super idiots out there remain safe from the Super hyper smart hackers. Discussing these flaws of both OS's help to create a better eEnvironment, which beni

Reply to Window Elements Missing During Remote Access in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

Im not sure, but when ever I Radmin or Remote sdesktop I always get a weird 8 bit or 16 bit look....So I would asume since you are looking at a skin that would look invisible because its bit depth and per pixel blending will be affected on a large scale.and therefore would probably not show up, it should still be there, just not visible...can you click on the areas where the buttons should be and still get a proper response, or do they not work at all?

No Jafo, I do understand Subscriptions are just that...My whole issue is the fact that even the last 2 years has been that this site is for the most part slow, and errors out alot. I just have a resentment now with the fact that you seem to think I supported this site very little when In fact I had renewed my stardock account and am only downloading rarely on this site..If you check my downloads, you will see that I have only Dl'ed about 1 gig or 1000

Seems my point is still valid 2 days later..the site is still slow and buggy, just the same as it was before when my subscription was current...Why renew if it wont make it better...I dont come to this site to benifit servers for games....But hey I should pay more for something and get less right...Im not short sighted as someone likes to claim..This slowness has been ongoing for quite some time..Somedays were better than others..but most weren't..That

Well I guess the galCivII is still more important,,,I guess all you skinners should find a new home....Since After all the subscription drives go to pay for more servers to have em taken up by gamers...But hey..thats still the reason I didnot renew my subscription a few months ago when it ran out...Ill keep my Stardock account paid, but Wincustomize can take it somewhere else...If we have to put up with timeouts why donate..after all if you have made s

Well for one thing...NEVER EVER REPORT TO THE COMPANY THAT SOMEONE TRIED TO SPAM YOU. or PHISH for that matter...Even if you are smart enough to know what it is do not report it to the company, they will automatically assume you filled in all your personal data and have been compromised. I was smart enough to know about phishing, but when I reported a link to Amazon and to paypal on 2 seperate occasions they Dumped my accounts and I can now no longer u

My two cents on this is, that the moderators work really hard at trying to make the best wallpaper gallery on the net..But I do have to express, There are a lot of lame walls in the gallery, some just darn right ugly and useless...Im so sick of Terra Gen or Landscape walls, and alot of the "Dark art" or Evil art are pretty crappy too.For the most part I have found the largest part of my walls on DeviantArt and on smaller sites, like the people here men
