Comment Re:With an average high of about 70 degrees... (Score 1) 97

Bullshit. I live in Seattle, where the average during the summer is around 70F, but when it gets to 70+ I'll be sweating even if I'm naked in my house sitting still. I typically wear a t-shirt and shorts for most of the year, unless it dips below 40F. I like to cool my room down to 60F during the summer, and during the winter I never turn the heat on. I moved here from Florida, and after living here for 3-4 years I became very accustomed to the colder weather.

Submission + - ClamWin AntiVirus is going .NET (clamwin.com)

tuaris writes: "I've been a long time fan of ClamWin, a free ClamAV antivirus client for Microsoft Windows. One of the major selling points of this open source product was it's lack of bloat. Unlike many commercial AntiVirus products, ClamWin has a simple and fast user interface. For the next version, the authors plan to improve the user interface and give ClamWin a real-time scanner. They'll achieve this be separating the program into two components:

A "ClamWin service & real-time scanning driver which will be loaded into memory at all times on normal use", will be written in C++.
Then "the ClamWin GUI, to monitor and control the behavior of the service component.", this will written in .NET.

I very disappointed to learn about ClamWin using .NET to power it's GUI. Even though the current one is seen as being very limited, using .NET will not make it any better. I submit this to Slashdot to gather enough attention to try and have the authors rethink their decision.
