  1. Re:AVG here.. on Best of the Free Anti-virus Choices? · · Score: 1

    I looked at using AVG briefly - but went with AVAST after I actually read the license information for AVG. From their website:

    Grisoft makes available two versions of AVG Anti-Virus: AVG Free Edition and the commercial versions of AVG Anti-Virus.
    Please, note that the AVG Free Edition is available for single home use only. According to our AVG Free Edition license policy, it is strictly prohibited to use AVG Free Edition for:

            * Professional or commercial use (including non-profit organizations),
            * Installation and use on more than one computer per user (single use)
            * Installation and use in a network environment.

    The restriction on use on more than one computer and the prohibition against a networked environment pretty much said - this ain't for you.

  2. Re:Free broadband? Not for long! on A Night in the Hotel of the Future · · Score: 1

    Sorry - my bad. I still call it that from old habits, I guess. You're right. The "newer" airport is Denver International or something catchy like that. Oops - but they do have free wireless while you're stuck there......

  3. Re:Free broadband? Not for long! on A Night in the Hotel of the Future · · Score: 1

    I just checked out of a hotel in Chicago this am that, imho, is not that great of a place to stay (in fact, I really really don't like it but the client has a membership there for a "preferred rate" ) but they have just added free wireless access in the room. They still charge you through the nose if you use a dialup to a local number but the higher speed wireless is free! Guess they couldn't figure out a way to charge once they decided to put in an access point.....
    I noticed in Denver the other day that AT&T is now sponsoring wireless access in the Stapleton Airport. I recognize that this has nothing to do with calling one's aunt long distance but it beats paying $10/hr for inroom broadband!
    Ciao!

  4. Nerds vs Geeks on Geeks vs. Nerds · · Score: 1

    I had heard it explained as:
    A nerd is someone whose life revolves around computers and technology.
    A geek is someone whose life revolves around computers and technology, and they like it.
