I was going to threaten him with that same punishment, but then figured out that my dog sled was frozen to the igloo driveway ... so I'll sit here on my chesterfield and steam politely instead.

Hey, I know you ... you're that 300 pound guy from the last Comic-con.

I'm confused. If big business owners "have us by the balls" and "have bought and paid for the Senate, etc" then why do they also need to "spend billions of dollars every year lobbying". Are you saying that's just theatre to keep people from noticing?

You've obviously never had your license plate swapped by thieves with a stolen car similar to yours. Contrary to popular belief, all criminals aren't stupid. 1 - steal car 2 - drive directly to mass transit parking lot in middle of the work day 3 - cruise around to find similar looking vehicle 4 - swap license plates. I have no idea how long I drove around with "stolen car" plates on my vehicle, but I can just imagine what would have happened had I been pulled over because I was flagged by some license plate reader. Wouldn't that be fun to have the cops storming my house because my car was parked in my driveway....

Volunteering for a Rape Crisis Hotline?

Hey man, leave me out of this.

Do you know how hard it is to be a fireman these days?

Burning ebooks gives off no warmth whatsoever... Brrrr.

Harness the power of the /. collective by reading all the replies to my post.
Granted, that doesn't always work - since not every post attracts a useful cross-section of opinions, but I now know what products I should go look at if I decide that AVG isn't cutting it.
 
It's definitely a step up from Norton in terms of detection rate ... which I can confirm with a sample of 2 out of 2 machines being "clear" according to NAV, and infected and cured according to AVG.

Just switched from Norton to AVG this weekend. Pure coincidence. Honest. I had no advanced knowledge this was coming or anything. ;-)

Like the story's poster, The Illustrated Man changed my life. ... as might be calculated from my Nick.
