It is painfully slow on my Mac. About 1/10 of the speed of HFS+. And that is using the "high performance" build rather than the "reliable" build. The "reliable" build is much slower than the "high performance" one.
I've only ever used it on Linux to remove a Windows virus that I couldn't delete while Windows was running. It was a Live CD distro which was slow anyway because it was running off a CD. It did the job I wanted it to do.
You might think that would happen, but if the British experience of removing the monopoly is anything to go by, your postal service will get worse.
We've always had overnight delivery, but then, Britain is a much smaller country.
The private operators are only interested in business mail. DX will do deliveries for small companies. The rest of them are only interested in bulk mail, such as bank statements and utility bills. For the rest of us, Royal Mail are now charging more, because they get less of the bulk mail to subsidise personal mail, and they are becoming much less reliable at delivering it.
SPF isn't supposed to stop spam. It is supposed to stop backscatter from people spamming with your email address in the "from" field.
If the SPF doesn't match, that means the email has a faked "from" field, so the receiving server shouldn't bounce it back to you. In that respect, Google's approach of silently eating the mail is probably the "correct" approach. Perhaps it should put it in the spam folder though.
For example, the first link in Google for "wine" is for a program that lets you run windows software in other operating systems, and no 3 is the wikipedia entry about it. The rest of the links are about alcoholic drinks.
Most people outside of slashdot are going to be interested in the alcoholic drink links, but if they have AVG installed, they will be "visiting" winehq.org as well, even though they probably already have windows and the wine program will be completely useless for them.
Personally I feel that as the Americans "stole" millions of pounds worth of literature from the Europeans since the earliest days of books, Europeans have no moral, ethical or legal obligation to pay for anything developed and sold by an American company. But, opinions differ on this issue.
The Smart car isn't actually that good for fuel efficiency. You get 60mpg vs 70mpg for a Volkswagen Golf Blue Motion, which still isn't the most efficient on the road, but gives you four seats and a resonable sized boot.
When you go to google, you get 10 links, and you might visit one of them if the summary info suggests it is what you want. With AVG you visit all 10, so the traffic is going to be at least 10 times higher.
I don't know what happens if you go back to the same google page and choose a different link. Does it visit all 10 again?
Anti-virus software is the one thing I would never download from a torrent site. You need to be sure it comes from a trustworthy source so you can check all your other torrents with it.
I don't think your mother's brain can be expressed in boolean logic. Until we can get round that problem, the things you describe are not going to happen, no matter how fast the hardware is.
At the moment, I'm looking at Slashdot in Firefox, while listening to an mp3. I'm only using two out of my four cores, and I have 3% CPU usage.
Maybe when I post this, I might use a third core for a little while, but how many cores can I actually usefully use.
I can break a password protected Excel file in 30 hours max with this computer, and a 10000 core chip might reduce this to 43 seconds, but other than that, what difference is it going to make?
I quite often use my mobile phone to call my landline telephone company about problems with the line. I have never used my landline to phone my mobile telephone company about problems with my mobile.
They have to provide the source themselves. They could say "send us $2 and we will mail you it on CD, or alternatively, download version 2.6.15 from kernel.org". Most people will be quite happy to download, but you must provide the source yourself for anyone who wants to be difficult

I've done it too. Of course you take a backup of the database file before changing it in case you make a mess of it.
You also need to keep the server room locked.
Are your roads in order - no
is the traffic calm and orderly - no
Do you have electricity in your home - yes, but it is provided by a private company, not the government
what about clean water, can you drink the water coming out of your faucet - sometimes. Again, it is provided by a private company, not the government
What about the mail, is it being delivered - sometimes, when I moan enough.
Windows XP pre SP2 didn't come with a firewall. So an unpatched system (ie one that didn't have SP2) would be vulnerable.

Royal Mail in Britain have responded to the introduction of competition in the UK post market by increasing prices.
Me. I already have 2TB across 4 drives here.

$200 generally means £200 in the UK, plus VAT, so £235. £269 is not far off the mark.
It could be a lot more than tenfold.

They are offering the Polo Blue Motion, the most fuel effient mass production car on the road to the average consumer.

There is a back seat. Put your shopping there. Or at least that's what I do with my slightly less fuel efficient Toyota Aygo.
Does the virus care what browser you are using?
Unless it morphs depending on what browser you are using, isn't it going to just try to infect everyone?

You can buy pre-pay debit and credit cards in a lot of places.
Or from Israel, where Sunday is a normal working day, and you get Friday off instead?

Depends whether you think freedom to restrict other peoples' freedoms is freedom.
