So maybe it is like determining the existence of God: it could be the case that SpyBot is corrupting Norton Ghost images, but until someone posts some evidence, you'll have to take that on faith from Symantec.
Well, in that case:
"I refuse to proof that Spybot Search & Destroy corrupts Ghost images," says Symantec. "For proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
Now, something should happen in between, but the desired outcome is nevertheless:
"Oh, dear," says Symantec, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.
You see, I don't get all this vitriol over Enterprise. I thought it was remarkably well-done, given its remit; the characters are solid, there are no silly stereotypes (the British accents on Trek are good without being pwoppah), and they talk like adults. I guess it boils down to the fact that the Star Treks were produced by people will much experience in sci-fi. They understand that it takes more than a decent story to make it work. The present incumbents at Doctor Who don't seem to have grasped this. Don't get me wrong, it makes for entertaining viewing, but I feel a bit like a kid (in a bad way) after watching it.
And while we're on the subject... Stargate Atlantis: just what went wrong? It's so soft; it's like Ready Brek sci-fi. SG-1 had edge. It had RDA. You used to be cool; now I don't believe in nothing.
There's humor in Dr. Who? I guess I never noticed. Or it could be the fact that I'm not British
Oh, it's there alright. It's just not that strong. Like me, you may have seen too much sci-fi and really funny stuff that it's either dulled your senses or, more likely, made you realise that a higher standard of script is a must. The trouble with the present Doctor Who series is that it's written by a bunch of left-leaning literati-types who think they know everything about "quirky British humour", but in reality seem to know little about science fiction. The result? It's limp. It's been injected with more political collagen than Angelina Jolie's lips. It's inconsistent, and the language is childish. It lacks confidence and authority when compared to things like Stargate: SG-1 and Enterprise.
There are Brits who can write decent TV sci-fi, but Russel T. Davies and Mark Gatiss ain't among 'em.
"Eventually, says Mr Saffo, 'they're trying to build the machine that will pass the Turing test' -- in other words, an artificial intelligence that can pass as a human in written conversations. Wisely or not, Google wants to be a new sort of deus ex machina."
OK, guys, I'm off with some mates for a long round trip of the Sol System in deep hibernation until this all blows over. I've got three spare seats, if anyone's interested.
Actually, it's just a new honorary title for some of their marketing staff:-)
That figures. I mean, no coder would ever produce something like Norton AntiVirus or Personal Firewall. People tend to commit suicide before the self-esteem gets that low.
I'm really not sure I want their grues running amok all over Free code.
From the episode where Apu gives Homer food poisoning (SNPP):
Homer. Woo hoo! Cheap meat! [picks it up] Ooh, this one's open. [starts eating it]
Homer is carted off to the hospital with food poisoning; he later returns to the Quick-E-Mart for reparations.
Homer. Your old meat made me sick! Apu. Oh, I'm so sorry. [gets a pail of shrimp] Please accept five
pounds of frozen shrimp? Homer.[holds one up, sniffs it] This shrimp isn't frozen! And it
smells funny. Apu. OK, ten pounds. Homer. Woo hoo!
Good points. I actually have a copy of SSH.com's old client that was crippled but free for educational use kicking around; I believe they charge for all their clients now. My institution also supplies Sophos for free as an AV solution, but this is unavailable to most individuals. Mind you, I rarely boot XP these days — the last time was to apply a set of patches.
Regarding LUP accounts, the packages shown above all sit well in this regard (although CDex should be installed in, say, %USERPROFILE%\local).

Um... I was originally paraphrasing something from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.
Who was an atheist.
They'd be better off with something down-to-earth like Sophos, anyway. They have a really nice corporate solution.
Well, in that case:
Now, something should happen in between, but the desired outcome is nevertheless:
How can a loser compete unfairly?!
Oh, yeah? And who are you, AC Malone? And in that case why all that effort on SELinux?

Well, in that case BBC, can I have a cut of the profits — what with my license fee paying for it in the first place.
Consider it a shareholder dividend.
Well aside from Charlotte Rampling's tits, you didn't miss much else!

And not forgetting the EULA on the gun.
grep! as! link! perl!
3-dimensional bouncing boobies.
Really, what's the big attraction about watching two chicks beat the crap out of each other?
Ah. Yes, I remember now. Say, does this game feature a secret mudbath mode?
And I my Buoy Geordge, Gurls Allow'd, and Hilary Duph.
That figures. I mean, no coder would ever produce something like Norton AntiVirus or Personal Firewall. People tend to commit suicide before the self-esteem gets that low.

They have coders working for them now?!

Hmm...
CDex does use cdparanoia. Go check the "Ripping Method" chooser under the "CD Drive" tab in Options/Settings.

OK, let's see... if I were running XP, I'd install ettlz's Essentials:
Network- Mozilla Firefox
- Mozilla Thunderbird
- SSH.com's SSH client
- Gaim
Doing Work- OpenOffice.org
- The GIMP
- Inkscape
Utilities- 7-zip
- jEdit
Multimedia- Winamp
- CDex
- aoTuV Vorbis encoder
- Audacity
SecurityHee-hee, I giggled. I think the line "Richard Nixon back again" from Billy Joel's version would've been appropriate here as well...
And — let me guess — Steve Ballmer is Courney Love?
Well I want a transparent engine block in my car.
And about time. I mean, you'd think they would've learned from that business with the Maginot Line that a stateful firewall alone is insufficient.
