  1. Re:I just investigates this this week. on Best of the Free Anti-virus Choices? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I had the same experience with AVG. Sluggish and not finding anything, I used Trend Micro's online housecall and found viruses. I ditched AVG for Avast and have been pleased with it so far.

    I would be like to hear about the OP other ideas for firewall and malware.

  2. They're right...sort of. on Music Downloads = Expensive Concerts? · · Score: 1

    P2P has created such a demand to see Modonna that she is able to sell her supply at $250 a ticket.

  3. Years ago nobody had email on FBI Agents Don't Have Email Access · · Score: 1

    Just because you could have the technology doesn't mean you need it. I don't want every FBI agent sifting through the dumb jokes colleagues send and countless viagra spam messages every five minutes. Go out and do some investigating. They don't need their own email they can read ours.

  4. Re:Privacy != Freedom && Freedom != Privac on It's "1984" in Europe, What About Your Country? · · Score: 1

    It isn't the freedom of speech that is being violated. It is our right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure without probable cause supported by oath. Check your Bill of Rights, it's number 4.

    "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

  5. Saturday 3/22/2104 on 100-Year Domain Renewals? · · Score: 1

    Reminder: Renew domain name. If there is still an Internet. Refill the antimatter tank in the hovercar too.

  6. I'm Safe on Identity Theft Countermeasures? · · Score: 1

    My poor credit is all of the protection I need.

  7. No frustration here on Adult Swim Revamps; Removes Most Anime · · Score: 1

    Anime sucks!

  8. Cruise Missile? on X-45 Makes Debut Flight · · Score: 1

    What's the point use a cruise missile.

  9. Copyright on KaZaa Suspends Downloads · · Score: 1

    Dosen't the word imply a right to copy?

  10. Re:News for nerds, squid that matter on New Deep Sea Squid · · Score: 1

    I think freshsquid.com would be for the download.
    For the stuff that matters you need to go to squiddot.org

  11. No more cross-over cables and old hubs. on 3Com's 10/100 Switching... Wallplate · · Score: 0

    Great idea now I can get rid of that five port hub under my desk so I can work on more than one pc at a time. It does need a power source though, so plan ahead and use power over ethernet, or you will need to supply power too.

  12. Unbelievable Spin on Cable Co's Want More Control Over Your Network · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This is like the electric company charging me per light.

  13. Re:Stable? on Kernel 2.4.12 Released · · Score: 1

    If you want stable don't put the latest and greatest kernel on your most important box.

    Even most MS drones know not install the newest Win until after a service pack or two.

  14. Re:@HOME SCANS IT'S OWN USERS!!!! on Excite@Home Claims Broadband 'Safe' · · Score: 1

    I had comcast@home and they too scanned from authorized-scan1.security.home.net, but I never heard from them about the ftp, http, or mail servers that I had running. I usually had about 6-10 other legit scans a week that Winroute easily blocked or routed to the proper port on my Linux box. Since Windows was required for @home installation.
