And for antivirus, I can recommend a 12-month free solution (it just costs an e-mail address or so) : http://home3.ca.com/microsoft/
See this: http://home3.ca.com/Microsoft/Default.aspx?sc_lang=en-US
You can try their CA Internet Security Suite 2007 for free
(a) for 90 days if you have XP, and,
(b) for 1 year if you have Vista

You cannot download a trial version of CA AntiVirus for free
It costs USD 20 . But that's fine by me :)

This is what they have to say:
CA Anti-Virus 2007
Protect 1 to 3 PC's
• Detects 100% of Viruses** 
• Real-Time Protection 
• Automatic Email Scanning 

**Certified by Virus Bulletin.

The banner on top also says: "98% of the Fortune 500 trust CA. You can too"
If that's true, this should go into the Found Deals section, if it's not already there.

But it's not very clear to me whether or not they have LiveUpdate-like without which really the product has no meaning. That's a given, I guess.

Views, opinions, experiences?

Site/Forum Features / Feature request for DCPostNotifierLite
« on: March 28, 2007, 01:51 AM »
Hi,
For some time now, I've been noticing that there is one hell of a lot of good information stored in the forum posts over the past two years. But it only comes out in the open when somebody searches for a particular feature and clicks on a search result and finds an entire thread where the idea is well-discussed already. That's a pretty poor way of accessing such good information I suppose :-\

So, a few new features come to mind (feasibility not investigated) :

1. DCPostNotifierLite should have a menu item which says "Keep showing me random old posts over past year, past two years, entire history, this quarter last year, first/second/third quarter last year" etc.
Or an elaborate screen for all those options.

2. Tagging of thread/posts

3. Interlinking ThreadM.PostN with ThreadP.PostQ in an indexing operation, and then a small floating tooltip comes up when a '*' button is pressed showing the list of links that are "similar" or "related" to this post. Much like Google's "Similar pages"

If it is not too much work, do look into it.

TIA,

serious topics...mainstream media...sounds great!  :D

Keep it under control? Now why would you want to do that?

I believe in the stupidity of crowds. The whole point is for them to be stupid...on your site instead of some place else, like they are already doing...and for them to enjoy it...and you to make money off it.  :P
ROFL. hahahahahahahaha!

I use a simple one: deskillusion
Basic, no-frills, but very stable and fast.

I discussed it with a few others in 2 chatrooms. They found the idea funny, but did almost take me seriously. If you want all the details of what I am talking about, refer to the logs of those 2 conversations here:

Cool. Actually pretty cool. But for the one big possibility of it spilling out to serious topics and mainstream media getting involved, it's an excellent idea! So, if you can somehow keep the content under control, you're through.
BTW, ppl see http://urbandictionary.com .... humor + smart observations, crowdsourced (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowdsourcing#Overview).

Other such things that come to mind are
a spoofing site: SpoofIt,
a humorous futuristic site: iron.ical.ly,
a sarcastic take on political or social happenings which could be satir.ical.ly and
plain good humor at com.ical.ly ......

On closer thought, these could be search engines specific to those fields - and that's certainly doable by one person with good knowledge of GData API or similar API from Y/M/Ask/A9.
This last thing is really practical, or probably it's already out there. (I didn't look)

Just don't forget to thank me if you make a million...and give me a link to the site so I can see what became of my insane thought.  :D
Since I added a few lines, remember me as well ;) , especially so if G/Y/M acquire you! :D
