I feel all suicidal only running avast now... and without a firewall too...

[Kevin]

Avast ! Now that's the spirit , lad - only 3 or so weeks to go, too !

firewalls are a funny thing, really... are you behind a router?

[The Seeker]

I think so... not sure about uni though...

And Kevin, I'm quite the expert at getting rid of viri and trojans by now

Avast works just fine too.

[Kevin]

What are you talking about ?!

[The Seeker]

What were YOU talking about? To me it sounded like you were saying "avast is useless and your computer has three weeks to live"

[Farin]

if you are then you're protected by a hardware firewall, using a (software) firewall additionally to that wouldn't be of much use anyway* (since they're basically a substitute for hardware firewalls)

* against attacks that is, but software firewalls can also be used to control internet access for single applications (eg, if you don't want certain of your programms to have internet access)

[The Seeker]

Ah okay...

Arrrgh ! A misunderstandin' had we ? "Speak Like A Pirate Day " -Sept. 9th - don't miss out , matey !

[The Seeker]

it's all about the sites you visit

I'm very happy with AVG antivirus. Widely considered best freeware antivirus

[The Seeker]

Well, that sheds a nice light on me now

[Uncle Joe]

LOL, Uncle Joe...Mars = first initial of my three childrens' names and the first initial of our last name!

I just took a stab.

[Kevin]

As per normal ... 'Philly street style' , I believe , it's now called ...

[Lea]

Any John Denver fans here?

[MarcM]

[Lea]

I take it you don't like JD Marc

[Shawna]

I love some of Denver's stuff. If you're a fan, Lea, you would have gotten along with jr really well. He's a old-time Songfactor... and is/was a huge JD fan!

[Lea]

Well I wouldn't really call myself a fan but there is a John Prine song he covered and I wanted to nominate it next week and can't find it.

Many ppl have covered the song but I like him best. If I can't find it by him, I will use the Bonnie Raitt version. But I'd really rather use his.

[skybluesky]

I listened to some JD just the other day.

For those who have had sake, what does it taste like?

[Kevin]

Isn't that an AC/DC song ?!

[skybluesky]

^AC/DC song knowing dork

I really am asking. The Japanese restaurant charges $6 for their sake drinks and I don't want to order one if I'm not going to like sake.

[Kevin]

Don't pay it . They are serving you swill . All the good stuff is kept domestically and a bit exported to those stupid enough to pay ~$600.00 an ounce for it .

You poor buggers are being ripped off ! Check it out : a high percentage of 'Japanese' restaurants in America are in fact owned by Chinese people .

To answer your earlier query - it tastes like slightly bitter wine/water , generally , though there are as many types as there are wines , so there you go . Hope that helped .
