Sure there is! You just need to go to "Home Security", "Compare all products at a glance", "AVG Free - Learn More", "Learn more" again, and finally "Download basic protection"
Because Grisoft's response is "if you want to make an omelette, you have to break some eggs", which roughly equates to "try talking to someone who gives a shit, because we sure don't. Now fuck off".
Sounds like you're describing fucking CA e-Trust antivirus. First thing I do when I reboot my work PC is open task manager and kill InoTask, InoRT, InoRPC, ITMRTSVC, and close the taskbar icon manually. Otherwise, I just plain cannot do anything on the PC without waiting half an hour for it.
Any IE6 user likely has the.NET Framework, which adds the.NET CLR version to the UA (making it something like "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; WinNT 5.0;.NET CLR 1.4.4322)"
There's a hell of a lot more than just a recompile. For example, the Xbox OS doesn't export function names - it exports ordinals (at least from what I read of the original Xbox OS). That alone requires major rejigging of an app.
EV certificates cannot sign mail, only server to server communication. E-mail signing certificates cost about $30, and require absolutely no proof of identity, just existence. This is no barrier whatsoever.
Oh joy. A command prompt with the same level of priviledge as... er, yourself. How pointless. (Contrary to popular/. belief, the LocalSystem account has the same permissions as an administrator, with access to a couple of extra files - like the SAM - being the only thing differentiating it)
Don't forget scraper sites, who take perfectly useful content, frame it in ten bajillion ads, then redisplay it (like "msdner.com" which is just a scrape of "forums.msdn.com")
You do realise you just said you buy your domains from GoDaddy right? If people don't want to buy from GoDaddy, telling them to buy from GoDaddy isn't exactly going to work...
Sorry, so you're also saying the freely available books and music are crappy and that you demand that you can get the higher quality commercially available ones for free?
Again, the current system is fine. If you as a producer want to charge for the fruits of your labour, you can. If you want to give it away free, you can too.
And actually, the significant weakness of OSS is usability. Very few OSS products have an interface that doesn't make me want to gouge my eyes out (this insistence on refusing to use the native OS widgets for example just pisses me off - OpenOffice seriously looks like ass on Windows with any theme other than "Windows Default")
No, it's not worth it in the slightest and you still haven't given a decent reason why it is.
The current system (sans the incredibly long length of regular copyrights) is perfectly fine. If someone wants to make a game for free (the OSS model) they are absolutely free to do that. If they want to charge for it, they are free to do that too. Your entire argument centres around feeling that OSS is crap[*] so therefore you should be able to get all the commercial stuff for free. Fuck that.

Personally I feel that for the majority, Java desktop apps are terrible (they range from mediocre speed down to slow, they don't use native OS widgets etc - I realise some of these things can be avoided by doing some extra coding, but you shouldn't have to) but Java server apps are absolutely great (for example Openfire Jabber Server).
Maybe it's just the different coding practices, but still!
For the last time, LookOut is an actual product, and it's a plugin for Outlook, and it's owned by Microsoft. Stop calling Outlook that, because MS LookOut is a REAL PRODUCT.

Yes, they apparently ARE trying to hide it.

They already did. The W3C tells people to cut that shit right out - all GET requests should be... what's that word that means "doesn't do anything"?

if Windows still has stupid stuff like autorun of USB devices enabled by default
Nope. It asks you what to do now. And it also wont autorun anything except an executable now (again, it still asks first).
Not twitter. Twitter changes the subject line in every reply, and would find some way to include either "M$" or something similar for IE.
Any IE6 user likely has the .NET Framework, which adds the .NET CLR version to the UA (making it something like "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; WinNT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.4.4322)"
So that IS still unique to AVG.

You mean Morrisette, not Lavigne. That damn song "Ironic" had absolutely zero irony in it.

Try Ctrl+Alt+Delete, K for "lock workstation", rather than Enter.

Then go download Slash and check!
Uh, that query would throw a syntax error. It's not "DELETE * FROM" it's just "DELETE FROM".
Fail.

I'm more concerned about "apt get remove kernel"
Would that even work?

I like this one better: http://www.google.com/ig/directory?url=sunnair.googlepages.com/MSOutlook-gadget.xml
No wait, it's the same. Amusingly, the shameless theft of your work is actually on topic!

It's hard to take you seriously when you talk about Girls in Blue and Men in Black.
Oh, and news feeds.
Microsoft's way ahead of you there - in an effort to avoid you mistaking "insufficient licenses" for a server error, that's 403.15.
That's right, .15. Because with Microsoft, the spec just isn't detailed enough.
