some false positives are far better than an overlooked virus...
Tell that to a couple of my customers after AVG decided that the lower filter for the Xen disk subsystem was a virus. No problem there until their boxes were rebooted, which resulted in a nice 7B bsod. (Fortunately for the second customer I remembered tracking down the issue for the first...) When an antivirus reports a virus, any user should always verify if that is true or not (false positive) before deleting any files. This should be taught to new users. |

 Giampy, do you use Comodo Antivirus, and if so, how do you rate it? I use it for one year but I have never dealt with real viruses, so I haven't sufficient data to judge the efficacy of Comodo Antivirus. I can only say it sometimes reports false positives. However consider that I set heuristics sensitivity at the maximum and that some false positives are far better than an overlooked virus... Therefore those few false positives are excusable and even well-accepted. With regard to cohabitation of Comodo and my system (Windows XP) I report that Comodo sometimes causes slowing down (pauses) to certain operations. This is the bad of Comodo. However the situation is bearable. |

anybody claiming that the sound quality is objectively better than a proper digital format doesn't really know what they're talking about :-) You have your part of reason but yours is a theoretical speech. In practice the situation is completely different. The Digital Era has created the plague of the "digital" sound in the worst sense of the word: a cold, cutting, caustic, harsh, metallic sound. I have never heard a such crap coming from a LP. Never. |

A Rolls Royce arrives in front of a restaurant. From the car some people get off: five wonderful girls and an elegant man who holds up a cage with a cock (male chicken) inside.
They enter into the restaurant and they sit down.
Man: "Waiter, please wait on one starter for each of us and thirty starters for my cock".
The waiter gets deeply perplexed but he silently does his duty.
After some minutes he realizes that everyone has eaten all the food, even the cock.
Man: "Waiter, please wait on one dish of pasta for each of us and thirty dishes of pasta for my cock".
The waiter gets more perplexed again, but he silently does his duty.
After some minutes he realizes that everyone has eaten all the food, even the cock.
Man: "Waiter, please wait on one steak for each of us and thirty steaks for my cock".
The waiter with difficulty keeps his growing perplexity and he silently does his duty.
After some minutes he realizes that everyone has eaten all the food, even the cock.
At this point the waiter firmly asks an explanation: "Mister, you have to explain me why that cock is so hungry. I have never seen a such thing. It's unbelievable!!!".
The man explains: "Once I was in the desert and I found the Aladdin's lamp. I rubbed it and the Genie came out. He asked me three wishes to be granted.
First, I asked him a lot of money, and as you see I am extremely rich. You have noticed my sparkling Rolls Royce.
Second, I asked him the more beautiful girls of the World, and as you see I am together these wonderful women.
