Lightes - worst download ever?
As a teacher, I know teachers are always looking for a good deal. But even as a free download, Lightes is not worth it. Many classrooms have a red/yellow/green system for behavior monitoring. Kind of like a stop light, red means stop, green means go. Pretty basic. The folks over at frontbridge computers made it a little too basic though.
Lightes has three options. Red, yellow, green and off. Press the button labeled red and the rectangle turns red. Press the yellow button and it turns yellow. Same with green. The off button clears the rectangle to gray. That's all it does. There is a timer button but no matter what number I enter, as soon as I press timer I get a window that pops up and says done.
Cnet TV ranked lightes as the number one worst downloads of the summer of 2008. On the frontbridge home page Lightes is called the "star program of all time." Yikes.
With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

Oh, I didn't know you are a teacher. I am aswell. Have you guys any plans for perhaps starting a new category for e-learning? I am always on the look out for tools I can use in my work.

'Lightes has three options. Red, yellow, green and off.'
After contemplating various responses to the above line, I'll let it stand by itself.

Hey, let's be fair. Not everybody can cut it in advanced mathematics.

Kinda makes you wonder why CNET includes it in their listings... do they have no quality filter whatsoever?
Oh, and I second pmow: 'Lightes has three options. Red, yellow, green and off.' is either very clever... or it's not.

I actually know this guy alright, he's a nice guy but he thinks to highly of himself and he thinks he knows more about programming than my friend who has made far more useful programs than this one. But hey they don't "teaches".
