Lets just say, for the sake of argument, that I AM visiting Russian crack sites....

What now?

Windows AV Programs

On: Most Users Think They Have AntiVirus Protection, While Only Half Do

Most PCs come with 'free' AV programs, typically limited to 30-60 days or whatnot, so most of us student types are left with a large investment or no protection.

I am using a cracked version of McAfee Security Center, mainly because my ancient copy of Symantec Antivirus stopped being able to update its definitions.

I STILL can't update my definitions with the cracked version, right now I'm looking into an FOSS antivirus.

Could someone please recommend an option for the unprotected?

Re:they were hunting for biofuel users to fine

On: NC Man Fined For Using Vegetable Oil As Fuel

This was not an investigatory maneuver, the Charlotte Observer ran an article about his bio-fueled vehicle. Just an extreme case of some legislator thinking "Hey! How can we get money out of this guy?" Its a shame that this tax money doesn't go towards the roads in Mecklenburg County, the street conditions are the worst in the state.

RL travel?

On: Google Files Patent to Monitor Gaming For Ads

"Google also believe if a player likes to explore their new virtual world, that they would be interested in the real world, as such would target the player with travel ads.'" As a former WoW addict, I can tell you, the last thing I planned on doing was leaving my PC for more than work, school, or a bio break!
