Things I Need

I have only 1 day left on my Norton Antivirus subscription and I need to find a new antivirus. Preferably cheap (or even free), and preferably one that doesn't suck like Norton does. I was reading a review of ZoneAlarm's firewall and found it so funny that I've reposted it here:

"In addition, if we considered that every time more holes of security in our explorers are discovered, it is no wonder we begin to worry about the integrity of the contents that we received. With the intention to palliate the negative effects that entail the illegal accesses to the systems, the wished traffic of archives and post office and as opposed to not to offer protection Trojans and diverse attacks that we can suffer while we are online, the Firewall calls have been constituted like the tools of security par excellence essential to accede calmly to Internet, with a minimum of security.

Firewall acts like shield or protective obstacle locating itself between the local area network deprived (LAN) and the network to which we want to accede, is it the Intranet of the company or Internet, of the possible aggressions that come from the outside of these, and therefore it must count at least on two interfaces: one that gives to the private area and other than serves public section, for example Internet.

Firewall can be of two types. If it is of type hardware, it could be in some cases he himself of router that it is placed between the Ethernet connection to Internet and the rest of the network or a specific device of protection. If it is of software type will be able to be used not only to protect a deprived network, but to limit the access Internet of the equipment of this network, for example by schedules and users. Although in critical surroundings it will be necessary to invest a great amount of money in our security, good fire-resistant personnel by software will be sufficient for “armoring” our computer in most of the cases. In the following pages we are going away to center in the fire-resistant ones of individual use ZoneAlarm, based on software and focused the private user."

I also need to buy an external hard drive and an intake pipe for my car. I need the hard drive because my digital storage needs are starting to exceed my storage capacity, and I need the intake pipe because my pod filter doesn't perfectly fit the current intake pipe, and is leaving a small gap, which could seriously damage the engine.

So much money :S


I'm also very hot and tired. It's too humid and I've been working in the humidity for too long.

I'm also old. I'm now 21.
