Is there also a provision that Google may change the EULA at any time, without prior notice? eg. When sales have taken off and enough people have been suckered in by the promise of no ads.
- How long do you think it would take the emergency services in a small town in central Texas (West is a VERY fucking small town of less than 3,000 people) to evacuate everyone in the area? There's not enough fucking personnel to make door-to-door fast enough and even then stubborn fucks don't want to do what "TEH GUBMINTZERS!!!!" tell them to, even when it means they're going to get blown to shit and back.
IMO most of the "anti-virus industry" is just a bunch of whiny crooks themselves, and neither they or their software can really be trusted much more than the malware they claim to be fighting.
Only by those who don't pay attention to current reviews. Like many recent Microsoft products, MSE started off well, but has been in steady decline since its release.
Face it, they're all shite... the viruses change every single day and no anti-virus of them will protect you from the latest ones. Not one. Virus infection is 100% due to the warm squishy thing between the keyboard and chair, not the flavor of antivirus installed on the machine.
OTOH, MSE doesn't constantly annoy, slow your PC to a crawl or constantly ask for credit card details just to keep on running.
Except for power and space. Sorry, but I want something that I can tuck away on the wall or on top of a shelf, and the average older computer isn't very suitable for that.
Even a mini-ITX build is still using more power than I'd prefer.
A GS3 or Iphone5 could be twice the thickness and easily just as portable and easy to use. This would more than double the battery life since the extra volume could essentially be just battery and not radio or mobo.
Double the thickness would triple or quadruple the battery capacity.
But don't hold your breath. I expect this to happen around the same time fashion designers stop using walking bags of antlers to model their clothes.
To true. There's clearly a lone nut out there who thinks they are doing something God wants or their personal politics dictate and killing people is how they accomplish their mission. I hope they are found and boxed up securely and as soon as possible.
Of course...but that doesn't mean they're not taking advantage of the bombings to blow this story out of proportion, followed by some sort of power grab.
Me? I'm still reeling from the fact that he didn't have to go through Airport security to be able to do this. Does that mean the TSA is a sham, that terrorists aren't powerless if they can't get on an Aircraft? That would mean the whole "organized terrorist" thing is a lie, that they don't exist. Say it ain't so!

Whoosh!
Suckers!
There are only two possibilities: 1) there has always been something 2) there wasn't always something. Neither can be true, ergo we don't exist.
Things can change form, eg. energy->matter.
All you need to create all the matter in the universe is a single photon with a wavelength of 10^95Hz, then convert energy->matter.
Maybe he plays to lose just to goad the other guy into finishing his research.
Ammonium nitrate explosions can, in fact, approach small nuclear explosions in power.
I'm sure they can. So can a 15000lb daisy-cutter, etc.
I just LOLed because he's acting like he has first-hand experience of nuclear explosions and can contrast/compare with other types.
PS: The bomb attack on the world trade center was also a fertilizer bomb. Fertilizer bombs have been extensively used by terrorists across the globe.

The factory didn't make explosives, it only made fertilizers.
They put their output in sacks marked "fertilizer" instead of packing it into little red sticks marked "explosive"?
Apart from that, there's not much difference. The IRA used sacks of fertilizer quite effectively. All you need is a suitable detonator.
the only message I see here is about worksite safety.
Boston wouldn't have happened if the spectators had been wearing safety boots, helmets and high-vis jackets?
The question is, what about the situation even had the potential for such an incredible explosion?
That'd be the fact that the massive fire was in a factory where they make explosive stuff.
Three explosions on TV in three days.
We're still building up to the big one...
You're a fucking idiot.

Three words: "Emergency Broadcast System"
I mean a connection between the massive fire and the subsequent explosion. Do you think they might be related?
Don't forget the constant popup windows to tell you how well it's doing.
They're very comforting.
"It was a like a nuclear bomb went off," Muska said.
Maybe we could drop a *real* nuclear bomb on Muska, show him what one of those is like.
The cause of the explosion is not precisely known, but the plant was on fire beforehand.
Golly, do you think there's a connection?
Right, and it's what I use and recommend.
Which begs the question: why do I have to install it? Why doesn't it ship with?
Anti-trust laws.
PS: It doesn't beg anything, it raises a question.
free as in "included in the ridiculously high price for their crappy os"?
Free, as in "people don't have to spend extra money to get it".

Yep.
Experience has shown that it makes NO difference what anti-virus I install on people's machines.

That's the great thing about infinity...shit happens!
I imagine he gets these every single day. It goes with the job.
Oh, wait, we have to take advantage of the bombings! We're still at war with Eastasia, remember!
