  1. Dupe? already? on Windows 7 Benchmarks Show Little Improvement On Vista · · Score: 1, Informative
  2. Re:avast the best free one with no lock down like on Reliable, Free Anti-Virus Software? · · Score: 0

    I agree with you. I have my own domain.

    But to my shock there are still a lot of people out there who are utterly clueless to the internet and how to use it. (A lot of them also run Nortons or even *shudder* MS One Care)

    For them using a free web based email is almost at the maximum of their "intarweb" comprehension. So that will have to do for them.

    Hmm odd. I have gmail too and it would not let me use it to renew the subscription.

    Either way I am happy with Avira. Enjoy!

    I was using nod32 as well. But the fact you can't renew your subscription with a web based email caused me to drop it.

    Seriously, who these days is NOT using a web based email?

    I now find Avira to be very good, but the nag screen a bit annoying. Also Avira found a few viruses that nod32 had missed to my surprise.

    Yes... let out your anger... that's right... it will aaalll be ok soon.

    Yes I agree. I have seen the Corr's live too. It was one of the best concerts I have ever been too. Absolutely brilliant.

    I thought it was Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays when holes are found. I guess they are right on track. :P

  9. Sad Co-incidence on Nine Reasons To Skip Firefox 2.0 · · Score: 2, Funny

    A pity as Firefox 2.0 just crashed on me. I was wondering what the hell was going on and I just refreshed slashdot to see this very story.
    :(
    I still trust it more than IE of course, but do wish as we get newer versions that the stability does continue to improve.
    I'm sure they can do it and I still have faith.

  10. More reasons to get Vista, hey! on Microsoft DRM To Get Even Tighter · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Even tighter DRM? Wow... tell me again why I should install Vista?

  11. Re:fuck power went out! on Proving Which Spam Filters work Best · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Oh my god.... that was funny... good thing I didn't have a mouthful of tea then... :)

  12. Does it make it the default browser? on IE7 to be Pushed to Users Via Windows Update · · Score: 0

    Ok.. so Miscrosoft is forcing IE 7 on us.
    Obviously they fear that people wouldn't want to download it themselves.

    Do they make it the default browser if we have say either Firefox or any other >IE browser installed?

    Times like this make my sig really relevant :)

  13. Google is not that strong! on The Un-Google - The Search Competition · · Score: 0

    I have found some interesting information about google... I will share it with you now before

    I'm checking it out now. :)

  19. Re:Had to switch from Java to .NET on Comparison of Java and .NET security · · Score: 1

    Regardless of which lanugage each IDE was designed for (VS = C#) and (Eclipse = Java), you cannot deny the fact that Eclipse 3.1 is far more usable, configurable and more fun to use than VS .NET 2003.

  20. Had to switch from Java to .NET on Comparison of Java and .NET security · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Since starting in my new job, I had to switch from Java to .Net... so this is a little bit of good news. I guess....

    I still miss the Eclipse IDE though... Visual Studio blows chunks in comparison. :(

    yeah.. I reckon Australia is pretty good. The only concern is how far into Bush's arse our Prime Minister has his tounge.
    Apart from that, this place is pretty good (for now).
    Personally and currently, I don't mind Canada, Australia or New Zealand. Most other English speaking countries are now what I consider police states. Fuck 'em.
