Good old winxp beta days :)

but back then i had a different account (No i was not banned) i just had to take a online hiatus for a while and i forgot my logon details :(

so i had to make up a new one, still cant remember those details. annoys me when I think of it, a ~1000 posts i dont have credit for grrr.

My brother started Neowin and I have finally registered an account. Hoping to use it to advertise Cavendish Communications structured cabling services to all you IT professionals out there.

Please have a look at www.cavcabling.com if you require any structured cabling in the future and contact Simon Parker.

Welcome! Now you can help us keep Steve in line! :rofl: Just kiddin, Neobond.

I cant remember the actual reason, but I came here linked from iexbeta looking for download links of the beta of IE5 i think it was. Back then the rules were very lax so links to the betas were put on the front page all the time. I remember my first post being in the desktop thread thou.

I've been coming to neowin for tech news for sooo long I don't even know how I found it or why I registered. I do know I've seen at least 3 major site revisions since I started coming here. I used have a set of 4 sites that'd open when I opened my browser, Neowin is the only one that is still in that list, the other 3 either closed down or became total crap.

I also don't think this is my original account, I had one here under rstat1, but forgot the PW and no longer had the email address I used to register it.

Anyone here remember xBeta.net?

Came over from Overclockers.com, not sure why I signed up here, but it was something to do with the early Longhorn days, but I do remember coming to Neowin just before XP was released, just didn't bother signing up until Overclockers.com died down a bit.

found it years ago.. this was THE SITE that gave the latest news on the windows and such....

i believe i found very soon after the sites original creation :)

stayed here for a long time, loved the theme's for XP... and the forums...

stopped visiting, after i realized i have almost 4000 posts, and i am wasting time here.

now i drop by once in a while... since it is still a great news source.. not as rouge as it used to be, but it is all for the better.

ps. interesting to see the same people i used to remember, still active and posting... so many years after :D

you know who you are - you have more the 20k posts now

I had an issue with wmplayer.exe running all the time (process) in the background I googled it it brought me to this forum. Someone had the same issue with Vista SP1 (I have XP Pro SP3) I figured out what was causing it during reading the post. I Registered to this forum so I can help the person with the same problem.

I have very advanced computer skills that involve security, & virus, malware, malicious programs, and trojan annalist & removal.

Also customizing of Windows, tweaking, also troubleshooting.

I figured hell I could help others also problems I have someone can help me then I can help others.

Plus I have my own Windows forum which no one goes to lol.

I have been browsing and reading this site since the beginning to be honest. I simply never signed up for an account because I was never big on forum usage. Over the years I've changed and I was reading like usual and decided hell with it let me sign up for an account. I actually had issues with NeoWin while at work before the upgrade and such where pages took forever to load and the register page never would load (I tried a couple times). Thankfully that problem was resolved recently and I then signed up for an account. A few days after registering I thought for all the great free information I've read about over the years, I felt moved to become a subscriber and I don't regret it! :cool:

    • Limited time Prime Day deal cuts price of this Hisense 65" 4K smart TV in half by Ivan Jenic It’s Amazon Prime Day, and brands are offering great deals to consumers. One of the best deals of the day is definitely this Hisense 65" U7, which is currently $799.99 on Amazon, down from $1,499.99. That's nearly 50% off and $700 saved on this feature-packed 4K TV (purchase link down below). The U7 uses Mini-LED backlighting with up to 3,000 local dimming zones and up to 3,000 nits of peak brightness. That means blacks are truly deep and highlights are punchy enough to hold up even in bright rooms. The screen is covered with a dual-layer anti-reflection coating, which prevents the afternoon overhead lights from washing the picture. For gaming, the native 165Hz refresh rate and VRR 330 support make this one a great TV option for PS5 and Xbox Series X. The TV even features a native game mode, which should help minimize the input lag for a better gaming experience. Audio is handled by a 2.1.2 channel system tuned by Devialet, which is a notable partnership for a TV at this price. Additionally, Dolby Vision IQ, Dolby Atmos, and IMAX Enhanced are all supported. It runs Fire TV with Alexa+ built in. So, if you’re looking for a sharp, large screen to watch the World Cup on, the U7 at this price is definitely an attractive option. Speaking of which, Hisense is the official sponsor of the World Cup, which should mean absolutely nothing to you, and isn’t the reason why you should by this TV. The reason why you should buy it is that it’s “la bella televisione, HDTV-compatible, beautiful,” and available at half the price. Hisense 65" U7 Mini-LED 4K Smart Fire TV - $799.99 | 47% off on Amazon Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified. We only use first-party seller links (at the time of article publishing); ensure that you purchase from a first-party seller link only. Check out Today's Deals on Amazon | or our recent tech deals.

    • Re: Capitalism. It's just 1 of dozens of economic models currently-adopted worldwide; most national models separate money from politics thereby limiting the influence wealth carries over the economy (due to limited tentacles wealth politics has over the broader economy). The "American model" of unfettered financial influence should NOT be the variant of pure capitalism adopted worldwide. More regulations formulated within this variant is effectively useless due to the misalignment between regulatory objectives and fundamental influence wealth politics carry over the market. Re: enough money. Without constraining the breadth/depth/scope/scale that any measure of money/wealth can have within a market, there will always inherently be those who have "enough money" and those who do not. Those without "enough money" will always lose -- regardless if a bedroom DJ, indie developer, or million-dollar corporation going against a billion-dollar mega-corporation. The evil is the absence of guardrails against the influence of wealth; not the mere existence of wealth. Re: dragged through the courts. The liberalist nature of litigation does not exclude anyone, anywhere, for any reason for getting dragged through the courts. Rather than formalize remediation pathways for various perceived ills, everything is left up to flawed interpretations... and this is where a litigation-averse community fails to thrive (thus a losing proposition when dragged to courts). Everyone should have more protections and clear remediation strategies! Going to an alternate remediation arbitration is OK so long as the case review and remediation processes are clear and transparent. For corporations, hit them where it hurts: automatic financial penalties. (PS: This is where corporate risk management strategies would do well to behave more ethically.) Overall, failure to truly shake-up the incentive core and regulatory extremities of the economic market will necessarily mean that all other actions are simply applying lipstick on a pig. Change begins from the inside. Is the root cause of the problem that a majority of consumers within a market goes for Option Brand-name versus Option Indie? Or that brand-name is spending foreign money to control domestic markets? Or that money is the objective measure for success across all walks of life? Or that deep pockets dictate the moral and ethical rights/wrongs of entire societies? Regardless of the answer (and there's nothing inherently wrong with being a socialist or communist or whatever label your surroundings deem 'cool' or 'uncool') there's a common thread: If a market truly wants to nurture domestic innovation, then performative finger-wagging will do nothing to that end.
