It came from space! Two-headed flatworm stuns scientists

Re: Yeah that's not creepy at all /s

I remember the textbooks we had in music when I was at secondary school.

*every one of them* had penises drawn throughout, and when there was a woman on the same page, the penises were drawn to reach the women's nether regions. Additionally, the same comedians had written 'SLAP' across the foreheads of any bald/balding men in the books.

*every one of them*

So, yeah, the exact same textbooks you used when you were there. :)

AVG update gags iTunes

Linux

So one POS says another POS is dodgy?

AVG is a naggy, bloated POS anyway. For that reason, like someone else here has mentioned, I now recommend Avira for home Windows users (despite that annoying 'virus database has been updated' voiceover (you can switch that off though))

iTunes is a resource-hogging POS too. It's annoyingness, as far as I am concerned, stems from the fact you *need* it to transfer to iPods (which aren't IIRC recognised as mass storage devices) ; the nokia/SE PC Suite software are a resource hog too, but at least you can use those devices as MSDs.

I don't think it's as bad as AVG though. I still haven't forgiven AVG for the time when I happened to install it on a machine someone brought in from home to work (so it was connected to the work network so I could access the net) and it insisted I pay £££ because I was installing to a 'workstation'; and it wouldn't let me deinstall to try again without some registry hacking(in all fairness it doesn't do this any more though). And AVG 8 is such a resource hog/nagging POS it's disgraceful.
