Selecting Anti-Virus Software for Home

"I purchased X Anti-Virus for my Home PC last year and unimpressed, let it expire. Which anti-virus product should I purchase now?"

I get asked this question a lot. I provide below how I typically answer it, hoping that someone out there will find it useful as a template for your responses to similar questions to which you must respond.

AUC #2: ls

AUC 2 - Arbitrary Unix Command #2
I thought it might be useful to cover some obscure unix commands that you may find useful in your day to day system administration. My primary work machine is a Macbook Pro these days, so I'll lean towards cover commands that come with OS X. Most unix operating systems will likely have the commands I cover.

Worth Watching - Stargate Atlantis

I never got into Stargate SG-1. I loved the original Stargate movie so I gave the series a try, but never got hooked.

I recently discovered the second Stargate spin off, Stargate Atlantis just as the SciFi cable channel was advertising it's 5th and final season was about to come to a close.

I'm hooked.

Amazon Deal: 90% off HD-DVDs

If you are like me and sided with the HD-DVD format during the HD media war, you have an HD-DVD player collecting dust in your entertainment center. (I'm not bitter)

So how better to embrace the new world order that is Bluray than laugh at Sony by purchasing the same content, at the exact same quality, by buying up a storm of High Definition DVDs at rock bottom prices. In fact, at up to 90% off they are cheaper than purchasing most Standard Definition DVD's on sale.

I picked out my favorites below (read: worth watching in High Def) as well as a link to what's left of the HD-DVD stock. Pick $25 worth and get free super saver shipping. If you are HD-DVD player-less and have an Xbox 360 or a Windows Vista PC you can pick up the Microsoft HD-DVD add-on drive for about $50.
