Dear WinRAR,
« on: March 27, 2010, 01:23:40 AM »
I only installed you because people have an annoying tendency to put stuff in your file format.  Please refrain from shitting up my shell context menu with worthless commands.

Love,

I can't imagine Winrar without the box asking you to buy it, I consider it a feature at this point.

How often does WinRAR beg for funds? I use it daily and don't ever recall being pestered.

It begs for money every time I open a zip file.

I thought I was the only one.  I get so used to hitting close that when I install it on a fresh computer I'm sitting there waiting for the box to appear.

After 30 days you get a little box pop-up everytime you use the program.

Wait, I didn't realize 7-zip did RARs.  I had it installed, but just use it to open TAR/BZ2 stuff.

I remember once for a project I needed to squeeze a bunch of data onto about 4 DVDs. It was a variety of media. Text, gifs, jpgs, avis, mpegs, wavs, mp3s, isos.

Basically all kinds of media. Basic compression got me within about 100MB of fitting on the last DVD, so I needed to squeeze it just a BIT more.

So I decided to make it a contest. What would compress a bunch of random shit better, 7Zip or WinRar?
Well, it turns out it was WinRar, by a landslide.

Not only that, but 7zip was REALLY FUCKING SLOW, took up a SHITLOAD of RAM and on some files, INCREASED their filesize. Basically worthless. The only reason people use it is because they are somehow guilted by a purchase prompt on WinRar or think all open source shit is immediately better than all alternatives.

7zip sucks donkey balls, get used to it. (And WinRar HANDLES 7zip files)
