Impulse is a great step forward. I find the update process and installation of new software is rather slow and hopefully that will improve in future releases   

Yes, yes, let us heap the praise upon the Stardock. These nay-sayers are getting too vocal, (wait... there is no sound in print), too typee, yea thats the ticket. Impulse is just fine. I have had no problems with it, that weren't of my own stupidity. Kitkun, is it pronounced 1.(al loo min um) or 2.(al you min ium) where you live? One spelling, two ways to say it, you just have to love the spoken word.

Now for some gentle reminders to those who hate Impulse....

1. If you live in the deep woods, your can and string won't download fast enough.
2. Your Tandy Computer needs to be upgraded, might I suggest a hammer.
3. As much as I loved DOS, I upgraded, you should try it too.
4. If computers are too complicated for you, try blocks.
5. The Impulse official support thread is there for a reason, you don't need to start one just for you. (You are not that important...really.)
6. Stardock builds software to make Microsft software more appealing, they are approved by Microsoft to do just that. So why would they not use IE7?
7. Just like a car, your computer needs good drivers.

Once again, let me say, Impulse is good, whining is bad. Sarcasim is my way of saying grow up and act like an adult in a civilized world. Have a good day.

LMAO

But for the record . .my Tandy still works and is still used. 

You should read the anti-Impulse ones then.Many are the epitome of stupidity,ignorance and/or misinformation.A rather whiny bunch,but they still had their say.I used to be confused,now I'm just amused.Some of us happen to like Impulse and don't mind saying so.


I don't have a Tandy,but I did buy this HP at Radio Shack.

And I met a woman who slept under aluminum foil to keep radio waves from space from beaming through her while she slept.(true story)

I have nothing fundamentally against Impulse, but as long as SDC works better for what I need (namely, downloading and updating Stardock titles) I'm not going to bother with Impulse. I tried to install GC2 with it earlier today and got an error message. Attempts to track down the source of that error failed. Why bother to continue trying to resolve an artificially created issue? I just went back to SDC, and there I'll stay until forced to do otherwise. I've never understood early adopters anyway.

About 90% of the complaints I've seen have been from the "whiny sissy bitchers and complainers" that are gamers.

I'm a gamer, but I'm not among the "whiny sissy bitchers and complainers"

By the way, Impulse for the win.

Just to throw a spanner in your works.

Recent advances in Eletromagnetic field propagation allow specialy designed equipment to force a human to do things such as move a legs, swing there arms, even remember things.

While its currently in the early stages with further advancement.. such as what an alien race would have.. it would be quite easily and possible to control a human fully.


Tin Foil happens to be when placed over the head act as a faraday cage and makes this alot harder to acomplish.


You did after all want to bring science into it....
Hell with all the eletromagnetic poloution around these days... it might actually be a good idea and reduce your risk of cancer.

Hey! Don't you be makin fun of my tinfoil hat!

1. A super advanced alien civilization will send nano bots to reprogram your brain, and will be undetectable to humans.
2. if they did use such powerful radio waves, they will fry you (put a peice of meat in the microwave on high).
3. Alumium hats act as antenae and increase reception, so would an aluminium sheet. They need to build a faraday cage out of it to lower it. But I have yet to see someone make a net shaped contraption. They will be CERTAIN that the radio waves are going through the holes.
4. if you want to stop solar radiation, go with thick lead linings, heavy concrete and earth will work too.

Leo,

We are working to bring up more servers to load balance.  Hopefully we will have another up this week and you should start to see some performance improvements with downloading updates.
