Ogg is a marvelous format. I can rip CDs way better than when I was doing them into MP3 format. Too bad most MP3 players do not play them back though. I for one welcome our new OGG player overlords.
A lot of spyware is bundled with other applications. You don't just get it from the net. Case example is the recent Public Beta of Exeem. It contains Cydoor.
You have the wrong idea. When ad-aware quarantine's something it does remove it. The "quarantine" is just a fancy word for "backup" it backs up whatever it is going to delete into the "quarantine" file and then proceeds to delete it. If something on your computer stops working you can "restore" parts of the "quarantine" file.

Escape from the universe February 2005 | 107 » Cover story » Escape from the universe The universe is destined to end. Before it does, could an advanced civilisation escape via a "wormhole" into a parallel universe? The idea seems like science fiction, but it is consistent with the laws of physics and biology. Here's how to do it Michio Kaku
The author is professor of theoretical physics at City University of New York. This article is adapted from his book "Parallel Worlds" (Allen Lane) The universe is out of control, in a runaway acceleration. Eventually all intelligent life will face the final doom—the big freeze. An advanced civilisation must embark on the ultimate journey: fleeing to a parallel universe.
In Norse mythology, Ragnarok—the fate of the gods—begins when the earth is caught in the vice-like grip of a bone-chilling freeze. The heavens themselves freeze over, as the gods perish in great battles with evil serpents and murderous wolves. Eternal darkness settles over the bleak, frozen land as the sun and moon are both devoured. Odin, the father of all gods, finally falls to his death, and time itself comes to a halt.
Does this ancient tale foretell our future? Ever since the work of Edwin Hubble in the 1920s, scientists have known that the universe is expanding, but most have believed that the expansion was slowing as the universe aged. In 1998, astronomers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the Australian National University calculated the expansion rate by studying dozens of powerful supernova explosions within distant galaxies, which can light up the entire universe. They could not believe their own data. Some unknown force was pushing the galaxies apart, causing the expansion of the universe to accelerate. Brian Schmidt, one of the group leaders, said, "I was still shaking my head, but we had checked everything… I was very reluctant to tell people, because I truly thought that we were going to get massacred."
Physicists went scrambling back to their blackboards and realised that some "dark energy" of unknown origin, akin to Einstein's "cosmological constant," was acting as an anti-gravity force. Apparently, empty space itself contains enough repulsive dark energy to blow the universe apart. The more the universe expands, the more dark energy there is to make it expand even faster, leading to an exponential runaway mode.
In 2003, this astonishing result was confirmed by the WMAP (Wilkinson microwave anisotropy probe) satellite. Orbiting at a million miles from earth, this satellite contains two telescopes capable of detecting the faint microwave radiation which bathes the universe. It is so sensitive that it is able to photograph in exquisite detail the afterglow of the microwave radiation left over from the big bang, which is still circulating the universe. The WMAP satellite, in effect, gave us "baby pictures" of the universe when it was a mere 380,000 years old.
The WMAP satellite settled the long-standing question of the age of the universe: it is officially 13.7bn years old (to within 1 per cent accuracy). But more remarkably, the data showed that dark energy is not a fluke, but makes up 73 per cent of the matter and energy of the entire universe. To deepen the mystery, the data showed that 23 per cent of the universe consists of "dark matter," a bizarre form of matter which is invisible but still has weight. Hydrogen and helium make up 4 per cent, while the higher elements, you and I included, make up just 0.03 per cent. Dark energy and most of dark matter do not consist o
Reminds me of the joke that goes something like this:
A lady goes to a car dealer to get a fancy car. The salesman shows her a model with a voice activated radio. He says "classical", and a classical station comes on. He says "rock" and a rock station comes on. Impressed, the lady decides to take it for a test drive. As she is pulling out of the lot, she narrowly avoids hitting some children and she yells "fucking children".... and Michael Jackson comes on.

You are correct that newspapers like to pad out the same piece of information. Wouldn't it be great if there was a website that had the up-to-date news WITH all the details. I wonder who would operate it and how it would work though. I expect it would be a community-based project. Hmm...something to think about.
Will the Internet become a place for the "selected few" with money to spend?
I expect that if a payment role comes in that many news sites will join together and a core distribution node will be put into place where you can go and signup for whichever sites you want and every day you get e-mailed a virtual newspaper with all the news from those sites. It won't be "select few" as you are already paying for your newspaper now you'd just be getting it in a different medium with (hopefully) more meaningful news.
I understand lines help regulate bandwidth but I personally find sites with no lines to be much better. I think they should just cap their downloads to 50kb/s or 100kb/s max depending on the current load and remove lines. Will make the system run much better for everyone:)
So you've got to add:
XP-Pro (at least) - $0.50 for the CD & about $5 of bandwidth
DVD-ROM - $50 I think?
Quicken 2005 - Who the hell uses that, i'll just say $0.50 for the cd & about $5 of bandwidth
Office - $0.50 for the cd & about $5 of bandwidth
Video editing suite - $0.50 for the cd & about $5 of bandwidth
$52 in total

While you may have paid for decoding LAME is an encoder and will cost you more.
RTFA, it brings legal MP3 playback to Linux.

Lavasoft Ad-Aware works the best in most cases. Remove the stuff it didn't detect manually with hijackthis after your scan.
