  1. Re:SW: A better free alternative on Chandler 0.1 Released · · Score: 1

    In a previously offensive /. posting from you towards me, I responded. After each of my posts someone executed a bandwidth-stealing script against my site. I suspected it was you and blocked the origin of the IP traffic: 195.83.215.2/24. This belongs to: *.cetmef.equipement.gouv.fr. If this was not you, email support@scheduleworld.com using your ISPs email (or work email) (please include your phone number and mailing address too) and we'll get this sorted out.

    You wouldn't know because you have never used it. You can't use it as you have been indefinately blocked from our networks for attempting bandwidth-theft.

  4. I've _never_ received a rebate on Are Rebates Scandalous? · · Score: 1

    I'd like to go on the record that I've purchased about 5 items on rebate from Best Buy over a 2 year period and I have never received a rebate. I'll never purchase from Best Buy ever again - rebate or not.

    I notice that for 2 days after I posted the above response someone tried very hard to flood our network servers:

    From 13/Feb/2003:09:35:02 -0500 to 14/Feb/2003:13:16:43 -0500 a program was
    running on what appears to be machine IP 195.83.215.2 (equipement.gouv.fr) was trying to flood my
    server. The only purpose of doing this is to attempt to cause harm.

    Based on the offensive and immature attitude of QueueTue I was wondering if he knew anything about this.

    Let me see if I understand you:
    • 3D animation is silly
    • A series of gifs or an mpeg provides better compression than a loop that modifies the world coordinate of a camera per frame.
    • You somehow know animated gifs are better, when you haven't even seen what you are comparing
    • You pick the software you use based on its name
    • you seem sure "unbeatable security" is hollow and false, yet you didn't read the article provided and you couldn't rationalize a single argument in your favor
    • You seem to think you have the right to tell other people where and how to mention their product.
    LOL.

    Because the login screen, and the help->about box show a real-time 3D rotating world.
    It was mentioned as an eye-candy attention grabber. :-)

    ScheduleWorld uses no more than 28MB when running as reported by my debugger. It is a beta calendaring and scheduling application similar to Outlook. It offers better features such as:
    • encrypted calendar components (so you don't have to trust your ISP or our servers).
    • free client and server
    • multiple simultaneous color views of calendars for instant conflict resolution
    • multiple language support (Hindi, Japanese, Chinese screenshots available)
    • It renders fast enough even on my slow 400MHz Celeron (though the 3D works best on faster CPUs)
    • It includes real-time 3D graphics animation
    What's really important is that the application is secure and is updated with compressed diffs via Java Web Start. A link on its unbeatable security (with lots of Slashdot links embedded) can be found here: http://www.ScheduleWorld.com/itsYourLife.html
