And why are you having them install Avast? I thought the point of antivirus software was to prevent viruses. Avast let 3 Viruses on a system in 1.5 hours, and meanwhile thought that windows was a virus.
As the old addage goes "Your Mileage May Vary", I just switched to Avast from AVG when AVG kept malfunctioning on a computer. I installed Avast and it found a virus that AVG failed to. Nothing against AVG, but I'm currently recommending Avast to my non-geek friends and relatives.
Washington sucks. Once an idea is shot down, it shouldn't be legal to attach it to another bill. Why did line-item veto's fail again?
It was an unconstitutional violation of the separation of powers. It gave the president too much power. It made it too easy to craft obfuscated legislation.
Lets say that a bill provided 100 billion dollars of funding to be distributed as following.
80 Billion dollars to middle school education. 19.9 Billion dollars to Medicare supplements. and "The remaining balance to weapons development"
It would seem that weapons development would get 100 Million dollars.
If a president line item vetos the first item, the "Remaining ballance" becomes 80.1 Billion dollars. Line item veto was a BAD idea and it should have been stricken down.
I have no problem with wiretaps, if they are warranted. These days, it is not difficult to get the warrant...you could just show some evidence that the person may be linked to a terrorist organization, and wahlah, you have a warrant.
He told me to cut back on my contact-lens wearing or bad things would happen. He was kind of vague on what kind of bad things, I assume my eyeballs would fall out of my head or something like that.
When I was young and dumb, I used to wear my contact lenses for months at a time. My eye doctor told me that it looked like my eyes weren't getting enough oxygen and that if I didn't take them out more often I could end up with a corneal ulcer and need a cornea transplant.
If you go around to someones place, they may or may not be hoping for something of a sexual nature to happen, but there is never, ever an expectation on someone to "put out" just because you went to visit.
Depends on the circumstances.
If you look back to the Mike Tyson/Desiree Washington incident, you'll know what I mean. No one has the right to have a "Put out or I'll take it" mentality, but under certain circumstances one can think "She's coming to my place, she might be thinking about what I'm thinking about."
This is the state where a 2 Live Crew album was declared "Legally obscene". I shudder to think what that jackass Broward County judge would have done if a copy of San Andreas had made it into his courtroom.
But I will quote Mallrats when I say "What you need is a fatty-boom-batty blunt, and I guarantee you'll be seeing a sailboat, an ocean, and maybe even some of those big-titted mermaids doing some of that lesbian shit."
The fact that no one gives a damn about them, cares, or generally believes them doesn't mean they aren't allowed to "publically state their positions". It just means they LOST the debate.
Putting your fingers in your ears and saying "la la la la la la la..." doesn't mean that you've won the debate.
People don't invite holocaust "revisionism experts" to college campus, and people don't stock their books, because for the most part, as a society we've decided that this is a dumb idea.
Which is exactly the point. Society has decided not to hear them. I have personally known holocaust survivors/avoiders so I have firsthand knowledge that it happened, but I believe that we should allow deniers to state their cases so that we can pick them apart.
I'm always skeptical of claims that hundreds or thousands of supposedly respectable scientists hold a non-mainstream view but can't express it because some shadowy cabal is forcing them to stay quiet.
There are some topic that are just off limits for political reasons. Look at the debate over the Bell Curve or Holocaust revisionism. It doesn't matter that the proponents are ultimately wrong, what's important is that they aren't even allowed to publicly state their positions.
Climatology is a field in which you will get less money if you say that everything's ok. No one gives a damn if the world is fine. People donate huge sums of money to save the world.
I'm surprised that more RPM based distros haven't adopted urpmi. Mandrake/Mandriva's wrapper for RPM. It does a fantastic job of resolving dependancies.
How old is that Opteron? I'm running an Athlon 64 300+(2Ghz, 754), XP Pro (not 64 Bit) and I get means of Blowfish (48.2), Twofish(42.3), CAST5(35.2), Serpent(35.6), AES(33.8), Triple-DES(12.6).
I have to suspect that VIA is overstating their hardware's capability. If they aren't, why in the hell aren't they putting these chips onto PCI cards and selling crypto accellerators for web transactions? Assuming that the crypto chip is 20% of the cost of an EPIA board, you could pack 4 of the chips onto each card and still be able to sell it at a profit for $150.
My C:\Porn directory is well over 90GB and I have never paid to d/l porno.
That's kind of the beauty of the whole thing. For each person who pays a site membership, there will be hundreds who get to leech. And who is going to go to court and say that they feel violated because someone ripped off a copy of a video of them actually being violated.

Microsoft has already stated that they will give legit copies to people who help shut down retailers who are handing out bogus copies.
It's in their best interests. One free copy of windows is a decent incentive to shut down hundreds or thousands of pirates copies.
