Have you read the title? "Best of the Free Anti-virus Choices?"
NOD32 is an excellent AV, agreed, but definitely not free (neither as speech, nor as beer).
As for jv16 PowerTools, I can say that it is the dumbest registry cleaner with lots of false positives - it mistakenly deletes many entries of MS Office,.NET framework, plus has a bad habit of identifying each entry twice: one in HKCR, and a second one in HKLM\Software\Classes, or one in HKCU and another in HKU\.
Oh, and it's not free, too.
No shit, their holistic approach will allow them to leverage the synergies, induce a paradigm shift, maximize the ROI, optimize critical deliverables, incubate ubiquitous technologies, enhance distributed solutions, deliver proactive applications, reinvent virtual applications, empower cross-platform experiences, grow global partnerships and recontextualize chair-throwing monkey methodologies!
There are no cryptographic signatures or other security related measures involved. Replacement of the Windows CE operating system file is performed without even the most basic level of source, authentication or compatibility testing, allowing even code that is impossible to execute to be installed.
All I can say, WTF???
This is a voting machine, not a toaster!
Even my mobile phone doesn't allow flashing of unsigned firmware.
But unlike a phone, voting machine is a multi-user device, which should be secure by design at every level.
So, maybe in this case Trusted Computing may find one of a few of its good applications?
You just happened to forget the fact that you don't have to buy anything from Microsoft to develop.NET apps.
You only have to download freely available.NET framework that includes command-line compilers (C#, VB.Net, JS.Net). If you want managed C++, there is (freeware again) Visual C++ Toolkit 2003).
All mentioned products contain compilers and libraries. Documentation is available on msdn.microsoft.com, and you don't even have to register with Microsoft for that.
Visual Studio is just an IDE and bunch of tools. Does it help to develop.NET apps? Certainly. Is it required? No.
Slashdot Mirror
The difference is that Google is not currently selling an operating system that is preinstalled on 90+% of the world's computers.
Hm. I always thought this was the real business model of Ubuntu.
Let's see:
Oh yeah, now we have replaced DVDs with a cable. Anyway, it won't work.

I find Windows Live Safety Center cleanup much better, though it's Microsoft and ActiveX based.
Interesting words NOT on blacklist:
All this means is that Google's filter is by no means perfect.
Spam wins
Sad, but true: you cannot defeat the spammers using their own methods.
Anyone spotted red text "TRIAL COPY" across the titlebars in the screenshots?
Looks like a "feature" of some screenshot capture shareware.
Nevertheless, I think (having in mind the topic of TFA) this doesn't add them much credibility.

Isn't it ironic to have an "non-ironic" sig while posting about whether the situation is ironic?
(Sorry for tautology)
I tried accessing your website (http://evil.google.com/) but it seems to be unavailable, probably slashdotted?
Yes.
No, moron, I'm real Bill Gates!
I own this great site: http://www.g00gl3.com/
There's a picture of me and my friend Steve there.
All your google are belong to me.
Boss, 46465456456489715678984 wears a tin-foil hat, what do we do?
Do you mean millihertz, i.e. 1 clock signal in 1000 seconds???
I don't even know when such processors were used, maybe in stone age?
Just wrap your cell phone in tin foil - no radio interference and less risk of brain cancer!
Have you tried this?

By reading this post, you agree to pay me $1,000,000.
Why you are so sure keyboards will still have shift key in 10 years?
Anything is possible in our crazy world of lawsuits.
