vendors against those pieces of malware and Symantec is terrible from
what I have seen. And what I have seen is definitely things in the wild
regardless if its on the wild list or not.

And like I said earlier scanning a system for malware and seeing which
vendors catch what is not a very accurate test because you actually
don't know what is on the system and how many pieces of malware are
there. So the fact that some other scanner caught 10 and then Symantec
comes and finds 2 is not good because you don't know if both scanners
are missing 100 pieces of malware. You only know what the scanners are
reporting to you and there has even been a controversy in that because
some scanners report false positives on purpose so that their scanning
can seem more accurate. But that happens more with the anti spyware
scanners.

Actually not.

"The US Department of Agriculture reports a net energy balance for ethanol 
production of 1.67. In other words, for every one unit of energy used to 
produce ethanol and its 
accompanying co-products, 1.67 units of energy results. However, the US 
Department of Energy reports that petroleum refining can actually have a 
negative energy balance. For 
example, every unit of energy expended in gasoline production is reported to 
result in only 0.79 units of energy in the form of gasoline."

Without the major federal subsidies (meaning your tax dollars as Corporate

Have you used it? It has caught malware on my machines that many of the 
other popular anti-spyware tools missed...


That test link someone provided also shows it does a nice job at 
anti-malware.


So, care to qualify your statement?

An Oxford University physicist sees the future of nanotechnology in the workings of one of Nature's tiniest motors

	

	An
Oxford University physicist sees the future of nanotechnology in the
workings of one of Nature's tiniest motors, that which allows some
bacteria to swim by rotating slender filaments known as flagella.

'The
bacterial flagellar motor is an example of finished bio-nanotechnology,
and understanding how it works and assembles is one of the first steps
towards making man-made machines on the same tiny scale,' said Dr
Richard Berry, a Tutorial Fellow in Physics at Oxford University. 'The
smallest man-made rotary motors so far are thousands of times bigger.'

This
motor has the same power-to-weight ratio as an internal combustion
engine, spins at up to 100,000 rpm and achieves near-perfect
efficiency. Yet at only 50 nanometres across, one hundred million would
fit onto a full-stop. The only other natural rotary electric motor is
in the enzyme ATP-synthase.

Dr
Berry is a member of the Rotary Molecular Motors Group in the Oxford
Department of Physics. He presented his research at the Biophysical
Society's Annual Meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah, on Sunday 19
February.

The
physicist and his Japanese colleagues changed the proteins normally
found in the motor of E Coli to make it run on sodium instead of
hydrogen ions. This allowed them to reduce its speed of rotation by
lowering the level of sodium ions present. They also made the actions
of the motor more easily detectable by attaching tiny beads to stubs of
flagella. Ultimately 26 distinct steps could be observed in each of its
revolutions.

'The
motor runs on electric current, the flow of hydrogen or sodium ions
across the cell membrane, and each step may be caused by one or two
sodium ions passing through the motor,' explained Dr Berry.

The
tools involved included optical tweezers, which employ light beams to
hold and to measure transparent particles, and a high-speed
fluorescence microscope which can capture 2500 images per second.

Dr
Berry and his colleagues have so far determined the torque-speed
relationship of the motor, and that it can have up to twelve
independent 'cylinders.'

'Our
research will allow us to measure the performance of the motor when we
vary things like the driving voltage and number of cylinders, and to
understand the physics of the fundamental torque-generating process,'
said Dr Berry.

How does it compare to AVG Free?


Well for one thing, it works.  If you're using AVG free, you should 
also use the rhythm method, eschew modern medicine for the 
alternative sort, and heat your home in the winter by thinking warm 
thoughts.  


Seriously though, AVG really isn't up to the task of protecting your 
computer.  I get a lot of machines in running AVG Free and loaded 
with viruses (fewer on machines running NOD32 or Norton.)


This chart, posted by Bill:
http://www.av-comparatives.org/seiten/ergebnisse_2006_02.php

Puts AVG Pro at 90.47% effective, and 10% effective against 
polymorphic viruses.  NOD32 comes in at 98.77% and 94.3% against 
polymorphic.  Kaspersky at 99.57% and 99.4% against polymorphic.


While it has improved in recent testing, AVG Pro still regularly 
fails VirusBTN's tests.


And if the for-pay Pro version is this bad, how good is the free one?

NOD32 has a smaller memory footprint than AVG Free.

SAV-CE is a completely different codebase from the crap consumer grade 
stuff that is Norton branded.
10.0.2 is taking 33MB of memory on thix box (I have 2GB), which I don't 
consider very bad.


I still argue it is among (if not the) best AV scanner available--it just 
isn't available to the average consumer. Most people (for good reason) hate 
the Norton consumer stuff, and assume that the corporate stuff is

Interestingly, I've heard that SAV-CE10 also is the most effective malware

The easy answer is to get a vehicle with a diesel engine. That way you can 
now use biodiesel and BD blends, which work in any diesel car and you are 
not paying a four figure premium to use antiquated nickel battery 
technology in these overhyped hybrids.


Biodiesel appeals to both sides of the political spectrum. It pleases 
hippies to no end because it is a true "green" fuel, burns cleaner than gas 
and has nearly ZERO emissions that contribute to the greenhouse effect. 
Biodiesel also can be a 100% american product, from harvesting to refining. 
That means no money goes to OPEC and instead goes to american labor. Also 
biodiesel has better lubricating qualities than traditional diesel fuel. 
The lifeblood of our country, the diesel trucking industry, are now

your fuel filter just twice in a span of 500,000 miles? (Assuming you use 
BD from the start, otherwise an older car will need its fuel filter changed 
at first, because BD will loosen all gunk and the filter will be full after 
a few days driving.)


If you think about it, it's pretty inexcusable why biodiesel is not a 
mainstream fuel already. Win-win for everybody save for OPEC scum.

Not really & even if it were true do you know how many components of 
bombs are found in everyday life? Just ask the victim's families of 
the Oklahoma City bombing.  Point is just because the components are 
there doesn't mean they make a good bomb.  The components are there 
in your car but that doesn't mean we should stop driving. Heck one 
could get sun burned if precautions aren't taken. India & Japan all 
use nukes successfully & we're losing ground economically to them 
every day. I know for a fact they weren't designed to the constraints 
that the plants in the US were. Heck in the US plants we designed for 
non radiated water pipes to whiplash & the main turbine to be hit by 
a telephone pole during a tornado & the odds were still very very low 
of radiation leaks. The odds were higher if you step off a curb in bo-dunk.


Fuel-cell + Battery + Ethanol sound like they could be good tech if

lower profits which is what would happen if all cars got 50mph, they would
raise the rates to keep profits the same, we would get 50 mph but would
still cost us the same each year to operate. >:-}

uses the nanotech Panasonic invented, and can do so without being $80,000,
I'm there. Until then, I'm going to buy vehicles with big fat V8's.

that would be great, guess I need to do some homework on this it is just 
because they do not seem to be able to build a decent battery anymore ( outside 
of Optima ) that will last.

I think that's his point.  Either you honestly don't feel guilty, or 
you choose not too.  The question is - shouldn't one feel guilty 
about buying more of anything than one needs when there are other 
people in one's own country (I'm not talking Africa, I'm talking 
Canada and the US) who can't afford what they need?  Shouldn't one 
buy the vehicle one needs and then use any money saved on helping 
someone else?  I don't have an answer to this, and I certainly buy 
more than I need.  But I think in a world of finite resources, our 
consume as much as we can mentality is going to take us down a bad road.
