You've probably seen the recommendations by now, but Microsoft Security Essentials is a good one.
(Mostly because it is intended to simply be free, not to harass you; I expect the scan quality is pretty much the same all round. Also, MSE isn't any more resource hungry than the last version of AVG I used, and I didn't have to be careful to avoid installing extra browser crap.)
It doesn't have to be perfect to be better than what they were doing yesterday (especially when their metric doesn't necessarily include being entirely fair to all internet stores, they only care about keeping search traffic up).
It's a real shame for you then, that Google employs all those mercenary strike teams to seek out and destroy other people attempting to create indexes of the internets.
My state already requires the scrap yard to take a photo id when they buy scrap.
So no need to create a big new government apparatus to oversee such sales, just increase the fines on yards that make mistakes (which helps deter them from making "mistakes").
If the attack is foiled, the people stating that there was no security in place should be labeled morons.
It's like the underwear bomber. Sure, he got on a plane with something that he wanted to explode, but in the end, he wasn't able to make it explode, and that's because the security that was in place made him use a finicky bomb.
There is no 'the' sewer system or water supply, there are thousands of separate municipal systems. So doing damage to the systems for one big city would probably be workable, but doing significant damage to lots of such systems would be quite a bit of work (especially considering that you are (IMO) underestimating the amount of security around such sites; things like just having the workers know what normal is contributes a fair amount of security).
I think it's time to not worry too terribly much more about what Al Qaeda has planned, current efforts seem to be sufficient in keeping them well below the level of 'small annoyance'. Perhaps intelligence and investigation efforts could be increased, but even that needs to be done with some attention to whether it is money well spent.
It is probably possible to infect a beef lot, but I'm not sure that it would do much other than ruin a few tons of beef.
The upgraded cockpit doors have also probably had some deterrent effect (it's now a whole lot harder to make the plane do something the pilots don't agree with, so less interesting to try).
And you better write your law really carefully (even without a law, people that feel strongly that something needs to be done can simply take responsibility for their actions).
It's basically tautological that selling the products at the highest prices they can will increase their capacity to do research (but only in a financial sense, they aren't necessarily going to utilize the full capacity).

You are being illiterate not pedantic, the search service did indeed call itself AltaVista and none of us said anything about any dot or com.
That ship sir, has sailed.
No, he literally meant AltaVista, it enjoyed quite wide use before Google came along, and then it pretty much vanished into the ether.
They bought the underlying engine.
I think what they are doing to avoid antitrust is not utilizing Windows to get it on people's computers.
Einstein rewrote physics more than this rewrites biochemistry.

Or not really.
Fucking atomic oppressionists.
They plump when you cook them, right?
Yeah, Jefferson just using the slaves would never be enough of a basis for a smear campaign.
I mean, imagine a world where people made a false issue out of a candidates citizenship or religion.
Plus the smear campaigns over the slavery.
The idea that they would even become the same men in a modern world is silly. They would still partly be a product of their times.
A few million people can make for an awful lot of still meaningless noise.
Or they are overestimating the naivete of the internet.
Sure, but at the moment it is well known that B&N is only using broken DRM systems.
All you have to do now is automate the process of updating it.
You could have some sort of program that acted both as a client and a server...

In summary, the keys are stored on disk (with no obfuscation) and the key generation algorithm is weak.
I'm comfortable with banning non-residents from turning in copper.

Said just like someone who has never been shot with a sword.

The immediate economic cost of oil continues to be quite low (compared to various things like the value of the goods being shipped).
