You could always try Avast! as well.

I like Avira AntiVir Personal. It's free and in 3 years I've had no problems with my lappy whatsoever (save for a burned out GFX card on one occasion ).

Running occasional sweeps with Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware is something I've started doing as well, just in cases

IDK if this has happened to you guys, but whenever I send a reply to F.E.I.S.A.R., I suddenly get a 500 Internal Server error and all of a sudden, I get a Database error from the forums . Has this happened to you guys?

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

Happened to me.I refreshed the main page.
I got a "Database Error" message.I went to the main site and it said "WipEoutZone Unavailable.In the meantime,go play some WipEout ;o)"

[MetaKraken]

Yeah and when I got into the forums, it was slowing down all of a sudden (although all the other sites never had the problem), but I'm pretty sure it had something to do witht eh Database error. But the forum's working fine now.

Apple aren't all bad it seems: iPod saves a soldier

o_O

[mdhay]

Ah, the new iKevlar. Something useful for a change.

[MetaKraken]

Wow, I just received two text messages from an unknown caller (although it's a girl); the first one who gave me a "get well soon" text message after my wisdom tooth extraction and went through all this pain. The second one was a... love poem she sent me .

It's practically written in Spanish, so IDK if you guys would understand on what it says .

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

0_0 iKevlar...
I now have this in my mind:
Customer walks in to Apple Store,with iKevlar in hand.
Customer:Excuse me,may I know if you have a standard warranty for this?
Store Attendant: (Takes a look at shot iPod)Hm...I have to check with the manager...(gets Manager)
Manager walks in and checks the bulleted iPod.
Manager:Sorry to say this,but iKevlar iPods have no warranty because of what they may be subjected to.And yes,iKevlars are more expensive than iPods.
Customer:WTF?!0_0

Man travels 15 million miles

[Woopzilla]

I bet that would be a terrifying thought for those who fear flying.

What amazes me in this story is how even this amount of travelling would only be 16% of the distance from the Earth to the Sun. A whopping 150'000'000 million kilometres (1 AU or 1 Astronomical Unit).

It really is unbelievably hard to grasp just how gigantic the observable universe is (nevermind how big it actually is).

[Aeroracer]

im sure ive travelled more than that guy.i must have done 50 million miles now with all those eurostar train trips i take every week.

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

That guy also holds the record for "most journeys taken aboard Concorde planes". From the article,he wants to keep going and he wants to go to space(and the moon) as well.

Wasn't Virgin supposed to be doing those at one point? (Giggity)
Because If it was a couple of grand (Maybe more) to go up into space with Richard Branson, I would rather pay £5000 to not be stuck in a lift with the bastard.

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

If I'm not wrong, the spacecraft is called Spacecraft Two.Very original. Why'd you pay S$10000(ten thousand Singapore Dollars) to not get stuck in a lift with him? What does he have against you(or the other way around?)

[mdhay]

It's from a comedian called Frankie Boyle, most of his humor is satirical "black comedy", so if he says it and it doesn't make sense, it's probably for the best that it doesn't.

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

Is it something like the comic strip "Pearls Before Swine" where if you get the joke,it might offend someone?
And what is the stance of this forum on Fan Fiction with supremacist groups as villains?

[mdhay]

Yeah, that's basically it.

[Nutcase:259]

Is that from his live dvd from last year? funniest thing, its so crude its hilarious.

I remember when Richard Brandson used to attempt to fly around the world in a hot air balloon, well tried to i think he failed like 3 times. i miss the 90's
