McAfee is second only to Norton in the amount of effort required to remove it, and the resources it hogs.
MCPR.exe hasn't failed for me yet. That said, with regards to resource hogging -- I'll give you that. One of the many reasons we have switched to Sophos at work. 50 PCs now running Sophos -- we're never looking back.
In a perfect world, we'd be running some kind of Unix that doesn't encourage you to run as root all day long, but until that day arrives, we're stuck with supporting those that haven't yet made the switch.

My apologies — the end of my message seems to have been cut off. I can't remember what I was going to write, but hey. You should get the gist.
You do not need to sign up for Internode's IPv6 trial.
All you have to do is change the domain in your username from "internode.on.net" to "ipv6.internode.on.net". Then, make sure IPv6 is enabled in your pppd config (e.g. check the "IPv6" box on your router, or on Debian, just add a line "ipv6
You'll also need to run a DHCPv6-PD client if you want the static

My only complaint is that it doesn't remember passwords the way AndFTP does (another excellent tool, by the way). I'd like to not have to type in the darned password every time, but oh well, it's a lot better than no ssh.
You've never heard of SSH keys?
I've never typed a password to log on to any of my machines with ConnectBot. Nor am I planning to. There is no need for a password remembering feature (nor can I imagine there ever will be), because SSH keys makes that redundant.
Yes, but for those examples there are other barriers to entry.
To own your own home, you have to make a large financial investment.
And hire a qualified electrician to install cabling inside the house, to reinforce your point.
People try to draw a line between electric cabling and using a computer, based on the false assumption that if you screw up electric cabling you die, whereas if you screw up your own computer, it only affects you.
That's a bogus assumption because the reality is that we have this thing called the "Internet". You know, a community of networks, where computers actually talk to each other. And, you know, cause havoc on each other's networks.
If you crash the car in your own paddock, that's okay -- it's your car, and your paddock. But if you drive irresponsibly on the road, especially a highway, which is a commons of road drivers, you suddenly have the ability to cause a lot more harm.
It's the same with the Internet. If you own a PC, and you connect it to the Internet, you have a responsibility as a citizen of the Internet (and the world, pretty much) to be conscientious to others. An infected PC is not a laughing matter — you’re actively harming someone or something whether you’re aware of it or not. If you're not prepared to take due care, you should be treated like the cops would treat you if you were an unlicensed drive — you shouldn't be allowed on the Internet.
It's a social problem, not a technical one.
Its 2010 and the fact you still have to explain to people how a digital connection works is getting old.
Yes, the data going through the USB may be digital, but as I have shown, the USB power, not data can cause interference.
For a vinyl ripper, the USB power has the ability to interfere with the audio while it's still analogue, before its conversion to digital prior to being sent over USB.
One would hope a vinyl ripper would use an external source of power and shield the USB well.
