In Topic: Flouride,Aspartame and Agenda 21

Fluoride appeasers naturally in water , the amount depends on your water source ,
lakes and mountain run off is usually higher , than from bore hole wells
the amount needed for anti-tooth decay runs at a close limit, and probably enough from tooth paste   the vid was interesting until the plug for adding victims, totally unnecessary for those with a varied diet ,unless you have a specific medical uptake problem ,or only eat Mc.D’s etc finest ,which neatly moves on to Aspartame , who the F eats that chemical  ?  only those on a sugar free diet I guess , thanks to the cola fissy drinks etc,
Sugar has been known as the white mans poison for the last 200 years ,either natural or chemical ,
Agenda 21 ? ,not my topic, but it seems to have started with good intensions , but got waylaid on the way by conspiracy theories ,( as always )
Heck 1/3 of the western world is clinically obese , 25% is heading to diabetes,meanwhile the Chinese eat a bowl of rice and fish and live to 100 ,

Wow you mean THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS LOCAL SERVICE THERE??

How much does it cost to call your NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOUR??
$2.88 per hour ,  no free lunches over here , that 0845 is the lo-cal comercial rate ,
I pay the extra £4.90 a month for unlimited plan , but it clearly states  0845 # are chargeable ,(they are I tried it ,)

my 40 x8Mbps  FTTC + line rental and no charge phone call premium (within the UK )  works out at $48 USD a month ,

BTW, about $1.6 USD to the £1 ,
and don't forget it costs $18.66 a month to watch TV in the UK ,
I guess we don't make many phone calls over here, and in my case "no TV ", we don't drive that far either with gas
at $10.29 for a UK gallon , ( about $8  for 1 US gallon )

need to talk to a neighbour ?, I go ring their door bell , if I time it just right could get a free lunch ,
although nothings truly free , I end up working on their computer / car etc , as cash is at a premium
we use the neighbourhood  Barter system , :cool2:

Yes thats right bud..... IF THE # IS FREE TO YOU THAN ITS TOTALLY FREE..

No CA3LE i dont have a way of dialing in Posted Image (FOR FREE)


I wonder about the security (privacy) on a network like this... THEY HAVE YOU BY THE BALLS!! (They can watch anything you do (since its free))
I dosn't work like that in the UK , no # is free . apart from emergency ,  somebody has to pay our national provider for the line use ,
sure sales companies have a "Free # " they pay for the call , I can't see any internet provider making a living paying for your online time
their profit comes from renting the line at trade price , and charging you at retail ,

as it said "All you pay is the cost of a normal local rate phone call for the duration you are online. This means you can easily control the amount you spend and don't have to worry about subscription fees or contracts"
indeed thats so , that works out at $2.88 per hour ,  and the Subs fees and contracts is total balls  there never was for dial up ,
I could pick and choose from a hundred or so  dial up providers , I use Virgin , have used care4free , Firetrust  ,and others ,
all registered charities , although Dial up is a thing of the past , 90% of the UK will have  20x5 by 2015,

only making the point in case any UK member decides to use the service , and dosn't read the small print ,
(it's happened in the past , ) getting a $600 bill at the end of the month ain't funny,

Hold on guy's it ain't free , it's a lo-cal number , the only free bit is in like no contract ,
0845 numbers , works out at around $2.88 per hour , for sub 56K ,

dial up still used in the UK ,  cheaper than posting a letter , I got several friends that only go online
every other day or so just to check emails ,
and yes I got a no contract dial up in reserve on my box  , just in case the fibre goes down ,

In Topic: Best Free Anti-Virus

the best is the one that works for you , IMHO ,

I use Avast free , coz I like the sexy female voice , but AVG also worked fine for me ,
but none of them are 100%, it takes time to update against the latest threat ,
I rely on knowing whats running on my box and a check with Hijackthis .de from time to time,
and the monthly back up ,
mind you I haven't had a problem for 8 years ,maybe I don't surf on the wild side ? ,
I don't see virii as the big threat , more likley key loggers these days ,
BTW, I still use a combo of  keyboard and on screen mouse keyboard for bank details ,

P.s anyone using Glary ut's , works great for me ,   http://majorgeeks.co...ties_d5870.html
??? but then WTF do I know ,I was still getting teenage spots at 40 yo ,
