I'm not a Symantec fanboy but Symantec Antivirus (SAV) - the enterprise version - is pretty lean. As for Norton Antivirus or whatever they call it now...I couldn't agree more with your estimation of its bloatedness.
I went to this very high school and in my senior year they instituted a policy whereby any athlete involved in any way with the police(even actions that involved free speech) could be removed from their team and banned from all sports activities. This is just a logical progression for such a school and the fact the information isn't confirmed or reliable won't stop them from acting on it.
I'm glad I'm out of that community and it reinforces my weariness of any suburb, anywhere. I feel sorry for the students that have to live in that environment because I'm sure it justs gets worse with each passing year.
Arrrr, the post-production value of the film wasn't up to the same quality as other blockbustarrrr book to movie productions; here on the ship we're still parrrrtial to Mastarrrr and Comandarrrr!
I think there's a difference between defining proficiency and literacy. It seems like literacy, in the category of reading, isn't hotly debated. It's a question of the most basic level of reading skills required to be considered "literate?" So what's the most basic level of computer skills required to be considered "computer literate?" If you go for the most basic skills necessary to interact with a computer and have it be meaningful: on/off, open and close programs, read and reply to email, save files, return to saved files, and go to a website and navigate through the site. Will these skills fulfill the needs of an office with advanced technology: probably not. Will bare minimum reading skills fulfill the needs of an office with advanced technology: probably not.
Another question might be: do we want our children to only be computer literate?
Look for something 2 years old and then research that laptop. It's rare to find a new machine that will run Linux seamlessly. At the 1 year mark a lot of major issues have often been solved by early adopters and at the 2 year mark it's as fully functional as it will get for that machine.
I second Tech Soup...Symantec Antivirus 9 (or whatever it is now) is a snap to install and roll out on a Windows network. When I was at a non-profit we shifted over to it and it was a pretty good experience moving over and it was relatively inexpensive. I'm not sure how many computers you're dealing with, but I easily got my tight-fisted Executive Director to shell out $85 for 25 licenses of an Enterprise quality product. And $130 for 50 is a steal.
I'm 100% sure you can play as Germany in Close Combat 3 (and 90% sure you can do so in 1 & 2). In fact, as a Soviet commander you can kill your retreating troops and even soldiers who have surrendered; although the game doesn't allow you to actively target them, you can target their general area achieve the "desired" result. No civilians though...
I second the SpamBayes recommendation. I worked at a non-profit where spam was getting out of control for employees and there was no $ to pay for a solution. I hooked up my co-workers with SpamBayes on the client-side of Outlook one at a time so they could see how much people liked it once it started to adjust to the particular employee's spam. By the time I left, everyone was running it and everyone seemed to have adjusted.
One of the tricks I used to make the filter a little smarter off the bat was to save some of the spam from the early adopters and create a spam corpus on a shared Exchange folder. It let SpamBayes start out with some useful information about spam so that it wasn't totally useless at first.
Bet there are other great analogies out there to learn from...so hindsight need not be 20/20 in all cases. Does anyon here remember Michael the Hello Kid? I remember reading the he caught some serious flack from fellow students a few years after he created his webpage.
I said it before and I'll say it again...guess what, I don't care that he's from Malta - that's no excuse for publicly posting a hideous review. I don't write long, involved reviews in languages that aren't in my native language and neither should he. Plus, English is one of the two official languages of Malta so that line of argument of yours is pretty weak.
Hey, RTFAd...it's not nice. The reviewer can barely string a sentence together. Although it is great to know the headphones come in a box.

Everglide s-500 Headphone Review
The Everglide s-500 Headphone is the ultimate tool for gamers that pass long hours using their headset for their gaming needs. Viewed 469 times.
The Everglide s-500 Headphone is the ultimate tool for gamers that pass long hours using their headset for their gaming needs. It has been designed for gamers, by gamers, with the aid of leading world-wide professionals such as Sander "Voo" Kaasjager and other CPL World Tour Winners. The headset is available for sale with a price tag of $99.99 from Everglide Store, that is around Lm35. Some might say it's quite expensive for a headset, but when compared to other professional gaming headsets, the price is quite cheap.
Specifications
Transducer: Dynamic Nominal Dependence: 16 Ohm Max. Sound Pressure Level (SPL): 102 dB Max. Power Rating: 100 mW Weight w/o Cable: 350 g Cable Length: 3.1 m Frequency Response: 20 Hz ~ 20 kHz
Everglide s-500
Packaging
The Everglide s-500 Headphone come in a box, unlike other headsets that usually come packed in plastic covers. So what comes in the box? The box contains the headset itself, together with a microphone (optional) that clips to the shirt, and a carry bag that holds the headset with its cable and microphone safe when carrying around. It is a good idea to store this packaging so to be able to transport the headset in it when going to LAN-Parties and other similar events where you cannot lack not having the Everglide s-500 Headphones.
Design
The Headset's massive ear cups combined with the big design and the fantastic contrast between its black and silver colours give the Everglide s-500 a futuristic look that makes it the first one of a genre. This plain and fluent design makes the headset look very much like a Studio Headphone kit, having that professional appearance any serious gamer requests, backed up with fabulous sound, and great comfort.
Everglide s-500 Professional Gaming Headphones
Similar to a Studio Kit, this headset does not come with a Microphone and comes as an optional separate item with the headphones, having a clip-on that is used so to attach the microphone to the clothing.
The Everglide s-500 Headphone is available in two colours, white and black, according to your taste and theme.
Sound
Directly from first impressions (as you can undoubtedly, see for yourselves), the Everglide s-500 seems to have been built with gaming purpose in mind from the very beginning. In fact, they are a product of new technological advances, such as the world's first bio-cellulose membrane used to supply instantaneous audio response in the speaker driver. This membrane is said to be by the company, faster than most conventional speaker drivers found in traditional headphones, making the Everglide s-500 optimized for millisecond feedback to provide optimum gaming audio response. Together with the improved speaker driver, the Everglide s-500 also supplies the user with pinpoint precision from where the sound is coming, being accurate to the pixel from where a footstep or a gunshot is coming. The very large circumaural leather muff apart from making the headset comfortable to wear for long hours, has also the feature of reducing surrounding ambient noise to a minimum (very helpful if used in large events such as LAN-Parties ).
Made for Comfort
While the Everglide s-500 excels in gaming experience sounds, it is a bit of a delusion when it comes to music listening on this headset. In fact, making the speaker driver very sensible to minimal audio response resulted in this Headphone to lack in Bass audio quality. The Everglide s-500 lacks in the Sub-Woofer Effect although this lack in Bass was only noticed in music playing, and did not effect in any way gaming. What is
I'm not trolling or hating, I'm actually curious what people like about Fat Tire. I've found it ok but nothing to write home. Just for background...I'm no beer idiot I lived in Seattle, had multiple growlers, bought tons of local brew, worked on a local beer taste, and now that I've moved away to less beer-friendly place I brew my own beer in order to have some of the less common and interesting beers I could buy in Washington.
So what is it people like so much about Fat Tire? Is it that it's an ok beer that you can pick up at most stores? Is it that New Belgium isn't evil? Is it that most people don't have easy access to actual Belgian beers and New Belgium's stuff is lower in price and more widely available?
You just provided a scientific basis for sea-band working...the placebo effect. I too can't imagine the stupid things working but I've seen it work for my wife and for friends. It makes no sense but neither does the power of the mind to heal the body. Then there's placebo surgery - another thing that makes no sense but has still shown positive results.
They're about the only people I know that use the words home, missionary, and elder in the same sentence. I currently reside in Salt Lake City, Utah, or as I like to call it, the mothership of the LDS church; as such I get to witness this "culture". It's unlikely these missionaries will ever leave Australia unless A. Your goverment passes laws prohibiting their presence (China) or B. Numbers of them start getting killed (certain parts of the U.S.). And something tells me the First Presidency would disagree with your religion vs. technology assesment.
You don't get it...it give worms to ex-girlfriends.
Seriously, aren't you all SMS spammers? When you're at the grocery store don't you come up with a great idea for text message spam? Back before SCO's new offering you had to go home and execute your plan from your computer. Now you just take your Treo 650 and get to the lucrative SMS spam market immediately, beating out your competition. Don't you all see the amazing possibilities here?
Slashdot Mirror
It's just not quite as good when the head is all over the table. The robot is going to need to improve its skills slightly.
Does this mean I won't be getting that gorilla heart?

I'm sorry; I forgot that someone held a gun to his head and forced him to review the product in his non-native language.
I know enough Spanish to get by and for someone to comprehend me but that doesn't mean I review products in Spanish.
