That's very interesting, because I thought immediately when I read the summary that with a bit more support (OSS community, anyone?) Spybot could replace most of the commercial junk. It really does a top-notch job already, it just needs its scope expanded a bit.
But then, how many Linux people want to help a Windows tool?
Yes, local apps. By crash, I mean it is halfway through downloading (maybe installing, but I think it was downloading) it just quits. I will try again, but I believe it did the same thing in console.
I will look into the things you mentioned, especially Java, since I have several good Java folks to talk to.
Compared to existing free software development systems, it's mediocre at best; there's nothing in there that the rest of us haven't been doing for five years or more) Please point out something like.NET! I've been more and more attracted to Linux in the past year or so (I'm now booted into Kubuntu ~80% of the time) and I would love a replacement for C#.
Everything I've tried either takes too long (I'm more writer than coder by trade, I just need to made widgets now and then) or has an unbearable IDE. C# has great IDE's (I like SharpDevelop), wonderful libraries (.NET), and it's very, very fast to work with (I made a widget to fix a small, specific problem in less than an hour).
I tried installing Lazarus on recommendation, but it always crashed Adept. Mainly I want something with good libraries and a forms designer. What is there? Is Lazarus good enough to waste more time trying to get it installed?
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. (Wow! All my karma just went sailing past!)
No no, this is simple. Instead of forcing them to offer it for sale at that price, they are required to use the same value they are taxed on for court cases.
So if $megaCorp sues someone for patent or copyright infringement, they will be taxed on the same value that they use for calculating damages.
Actually, I think they might take off again with all this mobile business. It's rather novel, really. They already won just about everything there is to win in online ads, so instead of a totally new business model, they expand the market itself.
It's a much better solution IMHO than trying to rip off the market they already dominate, as some folks we know tend to do.
Why does a parent having absolute authority imply no freedom? I highly doubt you've raised any children (at least, the kind that can keep out of jail).
Actually, I installed DD-WRT in just a few minutes, set the basics, and it's all done with automatic IPv6 support. Boosting the transmit signal to improved wireless a good deal too.
Cheney and Bush have killed more Americans than the terrorists, and far more Iraqis than Saddam Hussein. I'd like some hard, cited statistics on that. It's true that the Bush administration has done some bad things, but I think you're just postulating here.
I definitely want technology to move forward, but not on my tax money. I haven't got a problem with private ventures investing in whatever research they want, but when the government steps in/is dragged in, there is a BIG problem.
I could put up with 95 years on one condition: it completely expires after that, absolutely no exceptions or extensions or anything else that prevents if from going into public domain.
If there are engineers dumb enough to put a reactor on an airplane, it's no wonder the environmentalists don't believe that nuclear power can be safe. If you leaned up against US a reactor for a year, you'd get less radiation from it than if you stood on the beach for a day. Modern reactors aren't bombs waiting to explode. You'd be hard pressed to make one explode. Nuclear FUD is the biggest reason that we are still dependent upon our enemies' oil supplies.
Personally, I think nuke plants are pretty neat, but when they fail, they can fail big. Can you provide some examples of reactors failing big? The only one I know of is Chernobyl, and that used a design that had already been rejected by US engineers. Statistically speaking, nuclear power is the safest source.
Three Mile Island was NOT a disaster. It showed that the safety mechanisms on reactors work, and nobody died or grew another arm.
Real cost? Take a read through The Economist's last study of nuclear power. The only way people are talking about new nuclear plants in the US is because the government will heavily subsidize their insurance. Personally, I think nuke plants are pretty neat, but when they fail, they can fail big.
If the nuclear plant operators would pay the real cost of their risks, I'd be much more partial to them. Instead, they talked Cheney into dumping the costs on taxpayers. I agree that government subsidies are bad. They shouldn't exist. However, all the regulations are also bad. Companies build reactors to make money, not to be hated or weird. It's in their best interests to make good reactors, and companies did (before regulations killed all new ones).
The only good point you made was cleaning up the mess after a natural disaster or terrorist attack. That is a problem, but there aren't any examples of these problems happening, except for Chernobyl's inherently flawed design.
France has the right idea on this. Capitalism works.

Someone mod the parent up. That's a very valid question.

According to some reports, yes, they have kept the originals.
So old I've had it on my flashdrive for over a year!

What does this have to do with Aristotle?
How do you force someone into a job??

This is sounding better all the time!

I don't have IPv6 upstream either, but at least my router will be ready. I bug my ISP about it every now and then.
I'd also say it's worth upgrading the router just for all the cool stuff you get (like working UPnP).

Are US soldiers shooting them, or are they getting killed by Muslims?

Do you, sir, support equal talk show airtime?
Getting rid of the Avira nag is much easier than that. Just create a hash rule on the nag exe. I think you can even delete it, but I'm not sure.
How's this?

The WRT54G is easy to secure. Just use DD-WRT!
No, you should elect Ron Paul.
