I've managed to get all spyware out with spybot on any computer I've tried. The trick is to not only let it scan, but to use the advanced features (process list, startup list, etc.).
If you know what should be on a system and what not, you can use spybot to remove it.
I also install Firefox on every infected computer, so spyware that is triggered by starting up IE isn't activated when googling stuff.
I have used and deployed * in a number of setups...
The copy/paste trolls are getting lazier by the day. In earlier times they bothered to alter the post to fit the subject, but now they just use a wildcard...
Shareaza is good for the occasional torrent, and the ability to finish dead single-file torrents over Gnutella/G2/ed2k with a bit of fiddling can be a lifesaver sometimes. But it's in no way comparable to those dedicated clients.
If you're using Shareaza anyway, its BT implementation is good enough, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for just a BT client. I use it for torrents, as I have it running anyway, and because I don't use bittorrent much. I wouldn't use it if I only needed bittorrent.
IE7 is a bitch to install on non-english systems (it involves switching files while you're installing it, and within the time the setup progress bar is running), it's beta software (MS beta, not open source it's-stable-but-we're-afraid-of-releasing-a-final- beta).
Besides, I don't think a lot of people feel comfortable to send every url they visit to a company that just bought the backend technology from Claria/Gator (or any company, for that matter), but that's something most phishing toolbars do, if I understand it correctly.
Whenever you play/buy a new cd, rip it, and throw it in the 'ripped' bin.
If you continue to do this in that fashion, you'll have FLAC/OGG/MP3's of every song you need after a few days already.
Maybe pay some guy to write a shell script that does everything automatically as soon as you put a disc in a drive (Or google for an app that already does this).
It's not like you can miss your cd's for a period of time, being a radio station (unless you plan on talking for a month on end).
I think that posting that page as an example of readability would be kind of a stretch...
Those idiots that use large fonts like that annoy me more than anything else. If I'd want letters the size of my thumb I'd set my browser settings like that, don't force it on all of us.
What surprises me most about E17, is that there's so much cool eyecandy, but it still runs smoother than any other DE I tried. I really hope it becomes stable someday.
I'm not afraid of the command line, but what made me stop using it was because it segfaults when doing some stuff, and I screwed up my whole Linux install because I switched from one repository to another, which seemed to be a bad idea in retrospect;).
Now I use xfce4, but I have the other desktops too, and I sometimes log into a different one for a change in scenery.
Come on, it has its own naming convention: eterm, engage, exige, evidence, examine, entice, entrance, etc...
But at least it's less annoying than the forced K or G in most Gnome and KDE apps.
By the way, E17, while très cool, is pretty unstable, and hard to configure. Launcher icons are weird eap files, and you need to create those through magic or something. It also seems like the main goal of the project is to never finish it.
I don't know why he used tinyurl, as it seems kind of pointless to me. Maybe it's one of those bait-and-switch trolls, where they switch the image after they get modded up.
Finally someone that explains in English what Webforms is about. I never understood the whole thing either, but with your post I finally understand it.
Now let's hope developers don't start relying on it too much, and don't forget about the server-side validation...
if that's all you need, get Clamwin (=windows version of clamav).
It's open source, a bit too paranoid, slow in scanning, but it's the freest you'll get;). It also has no on-access scanning, so YOU can decide when and what to scan.
Open source, for Windows & Linux, multiplayer support, and it doesn't use google maps in any way. I don't really see how you could involve google maps in a game like that, btw.
Meanwhile I now work at a Linux based company and have rebooted on a regular basis.
Why? do you update your kernel every week or something?
Even if your desktop environment (gnome, kde,...) hangs, you don't need to reboot. Just do [ctrl]-[alt]-[backspace] to restart X, if all else fails.
I agree with XP/2000 being pretty stable, though. But you'll still have to reboot every time you do windows update, which is annoying. Be glad they finally fixed that.
Slashdot Mirror
Maybe to get their songs played on the radio in the USA?
Or because the RIAA also goes after "real" pirates once in a while (the guys selling copied CD's from their trunk and such).

What the hell is SPIM? /me checks wikipedia -> Spim is another name for spam through instant messaging systems.
I've never had any problems with spam on either MSN or gtalk. If you just don't allow random people to contact you, no spam can come through.
I think all IM clients have the option to ignore people not on your list enabled by default, so how can it be a big problem?
And would people please stop inventing useless words?
I think either that nick was taken or too long. So I had to settle for the one I have now.

;-).
Did you pick your nick yourself, or is that what people call you? Because it's spot-on
Call me a pedantic bastard...
Pedantic Bastard!
Is there anything else you want me to call you?
I was lucky no root kits were installed
How can you tell?

mod this offtopic, but I *have* to post this one...
dude, why the hell are you posting a link to your site on every post you make? It's just on top of your post, so why do you add it to the body too?
Slashdot has a sig function. Use that, so we don't have to see the redundant link you keep posting in all your posts...

Could the people that modded that funny explain the joke to me? It seems to have gone right over the top of my head...
long enough with a full battery to take it along?

you thought I was going to say 'Linux', didn't you
I dared to click it.
It's the mozilla logo (the red dinosaur one)
this is the real url:

And after that, the feds can install their own rootkit to spy on you...
I already do that on every browser. I never use the 'history' feature anyway, so I never saw the point of keeping it.

Yes, because web services are THE solution when you're stuck in Iraq with no internet connection...
