| Re: Links- Look here for something different. Update: Comodo Firewall Pro v3 is out. Featuring a very streamlined interface, and some very powerful tools to manage your system. The interface looks snappy, it's re-sizable (finally), and has a really professional look. Even the window controls have been optimized, they "illuminate" on mouseover. Free software usually tends to have a very utilitarian look, and even high-dollar software solutions can be downright ugly. Seeing free, usability, and polished in the same product is... well, it's a rarity. CFP v3 even has a process viewer, a substantially nicer one than the old 3-Fingered Salute. It gives you a listing of everything that's running on your system, and who programmed it, if available. This software is not perfect, but it is one of the best designed items I've seen in 15 years of computer addiction. I'm giving it 4 ¾ stars right now, out of 5. Warning: Using this program in the advanced mode will teach you a LOT about your computer. Upon installation, you may receive a large number of messages about programs changing memory settings and the like. You will need to tell the firewall what is okay and what isn't. Fortunately, you can allow things on a one-time basis, to get the program going. Then, with an internet browser, you can look up all those things, and begin to understand what your software is doing. Any harmful routines will be found merely by typing their name into a search engine, and hitting the links will tell you what is bad. Google, winnuke, for example. You get a bunch of info on the fact that it's a bad program. In the future, you know to not allow Winnuke to run at all. So, it won't. EDIT: In honor of my good friend, Party of A5, I present this: One Reason Why Canada is AWESOME. For the record, I make charitable donations to the NRA, and am a totally patriotic American, to the point that I won't even begin mentioning how much support I have for my government. But THIS is truly Great!

| Re: Links- Look here for something different. Good friends, I'm a bit of a web-comic addict. I offer the following gems: For people with my sense of humor: Happiness comes with cyanide. I offer Proof. (It took them about 250 episodes to find their style, but they've been humming along feverishly since their earliest days in 2003) EDIT: If you are an adult, pm me for the website. On consideration, I've retracted the link lest anyone read it an ban me. If you are a sweet innocent child, do not ask for the info. One of the most awesome human beings on the internet is the guy behind xkcd - A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language - By Randall Munroe Romance, Sarcasm, Math, and Language. This is true brilliance, and I stand humbled. Were I only capable of creating such glorious wonder on the internet. Although new issues of my next gem are not forthcoming, the archives of past can lead one to Spamusement! Poorly-drawn cartoons inspired by actual spam subject lines! . Okay, this one is... uh... either you get it or you don't. My wife... doesn't. I think it's "effin" hilarious. For Nerds who like games of role playing, computer games work, but a foundation in a variety of interests can help too, I can recommend nothing better than Nuklear Power - Home of 8-bit Theater. It's the plotline of the original final fantasy for the NES, redrawn with delightfully odd humor. If you play computer games at all, or RPG's at all, you'll most likely be delighted with this. Okay, here's another winner. Giant In the Playground Games It parodies Dungeons and Dragons, and it helps to be a gamer. That said, the situational comedy aspects prevent it from being over the head of any die-hard football jock that may be on this site. I was a fan of Roadwaffles. The site is deceased, but the legend lives on: Road Waffles Volume One: Love and Massacre by Eight (Book) in Humor In it's infancy, circa 2001, it was brilliance. I spent a solid year, circa 2001, being a devotee of: Sinfest: The Webcomic To End all Webcomics Nowadays I read... uh... things I fear to speak of on this forum. Suffice it to say that I became addicted to QDB: Quote Database Home, and things went downhill from there. I think it is okay for me to say that I'm a fan of YTMND, without being banned. (Even naming other websites may place me in danger of the fate of Party of A5 and pizzaluvr,)
