Top Of Many Reasons Why BearShare Sucks
 

05. Spyware.
I am aware you have a choice to install it or not.
It shouldn't be there in the first place.
I'm assuming its for new users who really don't know any better.

06. Adware.
BearShare 2.2.4 has html viewing built into the client (html banners). I have nothing against making money.
I do however have a problem with invasion of privacy (monitoring). With the intergration of adware, spyware, html banners, etc. Gnutella will become commericalized. No one wants thats. I ****ing hate ads.

Everyone should know they're privacy issues with ads.
Such as cookies and other things that ultimately lead to -
companies tracking your web usage.
That is a fact.

07. Encrypted packets.
Like I said before it shouldn't be there in the first place.
I dont see other client's sending encrypted information through the network.

08. Exploit (vulnerability).
I wonder why BearShare has been the first client to be exploited.
Maybe its because of Vinnie and Michael's top skill.
No....I mean their "programming skill".

09. It only runs on Windows.
Only the ****test OS in the world.

10. Accept incoming hosts (checkbox)
Most new users will un-check the box thinking it "wastes" bandwidth. Which then makes the network become segmented and congested.

11. Unorganized search results.
No filtering of results such as file type.
No type of grouping for multiple results.

12. Vincent got my damn BearShare fan site shut down.
Would you be more happy if I linked to BearShare.com
So you can make some of that money?

replace **** with "****" in the url, and away you go...

**** with ****.

I get the picture ...

The worst thing : I agree ! héhéhé :D

OMFG!! That is funny....I made that page back in the summer. LOL! I forgot all about it. Hmm it doesnt work anymore so apparently someone complained and it got taken down, oh well. The **** is still funny though...heh.

What did michael do?
Becker

Nothing. But as I'm looking at the Contact on BearShare.com I see hes not there anymore. That picture made him look black to me anyways. The Sam Darwin guy looks like Carson Daily with blonde hair. So....yeah....later.

Mikael left Bearshare for Lindows several months ago.

Isn't Lindows being sued by Microsoft? One helluva job security...

Hope not. if so windows are *******s. I would like to read the article on that if you can find it :)

Ouch, MS are *******s! Thank you bullet for the link :)

MS - The Lords of Litigation
 

If MS chose to sue somebody rather than just buy their company, it generally means that they see the product as a direct threat to Gates' ability to control the World. Therefore, Lindows must work and work pretty well. Competition is healthy, it forces you to continually strive to improve your product...MS don't want this - they want to foist the same bug-infested crap on us year after year and know that we have no choice but to pay them for the 'honour' of letting it trash our PC's. Linux isn't the answer because it's not supported by enough apps...Lindows could have been a good interim substitute...let's see.

The lawsuit is about the name, not the fact they're building a compatible product. "Lindows" is too confusing with "Windows" for (inexperienced) users, especially since the products are supposedly doing the same things. Or at least, that's the last wiff I got from that end.

Nice avatar Evil Blood ...

Makes me feel at home . :rolleyes:

What do you expect from an evil? :D

Morgwen

Hey...if I'm not allowed to swear or flame...let the avatar say it all. :D

That's like Charlie Shultz slapping a suit on Linux because the name sounds similar to Linus...this would mean that many inexperienced users come out of the shop with a 7 year old kid holding a security blanket. :D

What's next? Anybody else called Bill Gates gets hammered in court for impersonating a man who thinks he's god?

Bearshare is a gnutella client man.

Names...
 

Naaahhhh...it lulls people into a false sense of security...until they see the location and avatar.

Names...
 

Oh...go on then. How's that? I'll change it on a weekly basis.

How about Sicko ?

???
 

Why would I want to use sicko? There's nothing sick about me at all. I'm your normal, everyday psychotic flamer. I am the Beast of Bearshare...and proud of it.

HeHe KathW,

Have you been using the Babylon translator ?
It translates words but it's not capable of translating sentences .
Now some sentences or expressions are just hard to translate, but I'll give it a try,

"Finish the story yourself, and give a colour to the images"

Or maybe...

'Tis een ouwe opmerking van Freek de Jonge

Wie is Freek de Jonge ? :confused:

Ken je Freek de Jonge niet? Hmmm - het kan toch niet zo lang geleden zijn, of wel?

Freek de Jonge
 

Alternatively...
 

...for all those Belgians in the audience...

http://users.skynet.be/cocachoc/nl-plop.htm

:D

Who is going to translate this now? My dutch is not so good! :)

Morgwen

That last link was to a fansite about a stupid kids-show that runs in belgium .
I won't even have to open it to recognize the nonsense .

Dag Plopetjes...
 

There's nothing wrong with Kabouter Plop...it's actually quite amusing. It's one of those kiddie shows by Studio 100 (Danny Verbiest & Gert Verhulst) that has no violence, no swearing and is suitable for small children...it's better than the bloody Smurfs!

LOL
 

"Bloody Smurfs" Very funny ...

That was me , forgot to log in .

Re: LOL
 

Well....it's true what else has come out of Belgium that has become THAT famous...apart from vlaamse frites? ;)

Chocolate :D

Mannequin **** (hope I spelled it right!) :)

Morgwen

???

A forum that censor words like pis*... now I have to wonder...

Morgwen :confused:

Let's see what else it censors ...
 

***** *** ******* *** ***** ********** ***** **** **** ***** **** **** crap *** ***** ******** **** **** **** ******** *** ****** ****** dildo ******* *** lolita ******
fist**** Raped Incest **** Xxx **** ***** ********** Porn Sex Fisting ***** Oral Blow Job Pre-teen **** Asian **** **** Boobs Breasts ************ ******l ***** Anal

<hr>

Now let's see what it filters out . :D

Wooooo ...... :cool:

Okay...
 

Ahhhh, but there's always a f u c k i n g way to get your message across.

Does it recognise the word wanker? Why can't we swear...we're all grown-ups here...sort of. ****ing sad if you ask me. :D

Cool...
 

It doesn't recognise wanker. What about, ****, ****, wank, ****, ****, bollocks, prick, twat-in-a-bucket? What about if you string two or more together? ********wank********bollocks?

Bearshare...pushing the sweary envelope!

Ok!

Now we stop this, or CycloCide will beat me! ;)

Morgwen

Cyclocide
 

Get him onto the BS Brawl forum...I'll flame his ***. :D

WHY...
 

...can't we have a special 'sweary' forum where anything goes and you have to agree that you're over 18 before you're allowed to enter...it would be much more fun. We could call it something catchy like "Evil Blood's Palace of Filth'.

Morg...you could log on and give vent to all your feelings about Vinnie...with NO censorship.

Here's a special thought for all those that are against the idea...

[edit] Becker again, hey i didnt think they pic was cool for the fourms. if you want you can link it. but dont show it :) [/edit]

Hi Evil!

The problem of such a forum is (my view!)... that many people forget that only in this forum are flames allowed - you know what I mean - bearshare.net is the best example!

And this is a support site! We should try to discuss in a diplomatic way - if you like him or not! Vinnie forgot this many times here too!

You know Vinnie is very special with his censorship... but i like to tell him what I think on "his" site... and when he censor my words he show his users what a clown he is! :D

You see Evil I can tell my opinion about him without flaming! ;)

But if really want such a forum here - raise a poll and we will see how many people vote for this idea... (Site feedback!)!

Morgwen

Re: Re: LOL
 

How about "Guust Flater" or "Suske en Wiske"? As a kid, I was endulging myself in those comics. I've seen "Suske en Wiske" in stores here (the US)... Must say something :-)

Re: Re: Re: LOL
 

I can see what you're saying but I'm talking about a worldwide thing here...Suske and Wiske are pretty much a Benelux thing...sure there's been translation into other languages but, when you take a good hard look (apart from Chocolate) The Bloody Smurfs ARE the most recognisably famous thing to come out of Belgium...even though most people don't realise that they are Belgian.

Good points raised there...okay...let's put it to a test vote before we bring in the poll...who, from this forum would like to see an 'adult' forum here where we can all say ****, ****, **** or **** without getting hammered by a load of asterisks like I've just been?
