Presumably she needs more than just an antivirus program (ClamAV). If anyone has any recommendations on a well-behaved, friendly security program for Windows XP that isn't in your face all the time, I'd love to hear it. Don't rely on ClamAV for a system. For email it does a good job, but I've run it on infected machines and it missed nearly every virus that BitDefender, F-Prot, and AVG detected.
What I'd recommend is running AVG (free for home use) and BitDefender (free on demand scanner). Schedule a full BitDefender scan weekly (or daily) and use AVG's on demand scanner and do scheduled scans with it.
You should also run spybot. It can be completely controlled through the command line which makes it easy to schedule using cron (w/ cygwin) or scheduled tasks.
If you want something other than the built in firewall, try something like ZoneAlarm, but disable most of it's warnings (it can make UAC seem tame). It's free for home use.
With REALbasic you can write the code once and compile native binaries for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. It's supposed to be very similar to VB.
I use wxPython for development, which I'd recommend for anything cross platform. There's also wxPerl, wxRuby, wxBasic, etc. It's a c++ framework and has binding for nearly every language in use, even works with.NET. Very fast, and it's LGPL'd.
The good thing is that the very nature of Open Source is that millions of individuals contribute, meaning Microsoft has to sue the world (read: including their own customer base) to really win. No. To win all they need to do have enough patents and lawyers to make everything else risky to use. If businesses have the choice of buying Windows desktops and servers or getting sued, Microsoft will win. If oems are only allowed to sell Windows systems or be sued, Microsoft will win.
It doesn't even matter if the patents are valid or not. Microsoft can easily bankrupt your business with legal fees.
IF you kill Linux you will screw over the consumer once and for all and I don't think that will help your public image much. If Microsoft killed Linux, why would their public image matter at all? There would be no real alternative to their products. Don't say BSD. When people refer to "Linux", they're not talking about just the kernel. They're talking about Samba, Cups, Apache, Gnome, KDE etc. BSDs run those same apps, just with a different kernel and userland. If there are patent issues with, say, samba then it wouldn't matter if you ran it on Linux or FreeBSD.
No. They're true metal. Very complex layered melodies with jazz-like timing. Lyrically all of their albums are concept albums and tell a story. From their WikiPedia entry:
Mastodon is a Grammy-nominated heavy metal band from Atlanta, Georgia. They are usually classified as a heavy metal group, but there have been debates on what specific sub-genre they belong to. There is also a clear hardcore influence on the band, unsurprising as several of its members previously played in hardcore bands.
Mastodon's style includes heavy (and sometimes quite complex and technical) guitar riffs, complex, jazz-influenced drumming, odd time signatures, and long, melodic instrumental interludes, which are all common aspects of the progressive rock genre.
Take a look on a globe, starting here in Florida. If I go east on a globe I get Africa. You gave to go through that, the middle east, India, and then finally get to China.
If I go west on the globe, I go through Mexico and then through China. In addition, it looks like a shorter distance going that way.
This is the #1 reason I work heavily in Perl. If I need to do something, 95% of the time there is a module on CPAN that will do the hard parts for me so I can just focus on getting what I need done.
I would love something like CPAN for Java. I prefer it's syntax and do a decent amount of webapps (w/ Echo2) with it. It's just when I work in Java takes me a while since I end up writing so much by myself.
Novell hired the guy that ported Gimp to Windows to port Evolution. Binaries (in.zip files, no installer) are available for 2.6 and 2.8. An installer for 2.6 is available. I've been using the 2.6 installer for some time now and it works quite well.
I doubt they'd support PostgreSQL. MySQL is basically a non-competitor. While PostgreSQL still isn't, it's much closer. Postgres is fully ACID compliant, is very strict about it's data, has mature support for just about everything (still lacks in clustering and replication, though...), is very fast, scales well, etc.
When you hit the limitations with MySQL, need a feature it doesn't support, etc, Oracle can point you to a sales rep. There are far less limitations with PostgreSQL. It wouldn't make as much business sense to encourage it's use.
If your network provider is giving you crappy service to the sites you care about, then find a new provider or pay for better access. Wow, that sounds great. Let's see. For high speed my options are Comcast and, wait, umm nothing else.
Oh, wait... did the OP mean copyright infringement? Then why did the OP use a term that means armed taking of actual property? <corporate_asshat> Because downloading a torrent is exactly the same as attacking a ship, killing it's crew and doing random raping and pillaging. Only dirty hippies that hate America can't see that. </corporate_asshat>
Inspired by the inkjet printer, the technology goes far beyond the techniques already used for prefabricated homes. So when it rains the house is going to smear?
I deeply despise the idea of DRM, but with the iPod it is completly options. Don't like the DRM, don't buy from the damn store. Just like when competeing stores complain about Apple "locking them out" of the iPod, all they have to do is sell non crippled AACs or MP3s. Personally, I rip all my music from CDs, encode them with LAME, and then use GTKPod to copy them to my iPod. I buy most of my CDs from local used stores or used from Amazon or Half.com. No copy protection and the RIAA doesn't get additional money*. As a plus I often pay only $5-$8 including shipping.
* I know the artist doesn't either, but if they signed with an RIAA label fuck 'em. I only buy new if it's and independent artist.

I personally prefer the way Axis of Justice and Real Rock 101.1 (Orlando) do it. They just email a link to the newsletter on their website. Both of those links are the newsletter links. This should be an example for all people who want to send HTML newsletter.

All of those have some excellent melodies.
It depends on where you are.

According to the politically correct asshats a persons "right" to not be offended supersedes your right to free speech.

That's probably because all you really did was confirm that your address is valid and read by a human.

It's a good idea for two groups:
1) ISPs: Extra cash.
2) Big companies: Lock out potential competitors. (4 Seconds Loading Time Is Maximum For Websurfers)

Copyright infringement != piracy
Copyright infringement != theft
Copyright infringement == Copyright infringement
Doesn't make it right, but be accurate when using a damn word.
