There is a huge selection of freeware and open source software available.

Of course not, but that's because cure is the wrong word.<br /><br />Sauerkraut and kimchi are both <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=1289433">good for you</a> <span style="font-size:85%;">(popup) </span>in <a href="http://www.drdavidwilliams.com/nc/dispatch_sample092704.asp">the same way as yogurt</a>.<span style="font-size:85%;"> (popup) </span> All 3 contain <a href="http://www.probioticnutrition.com/">probioitics</a>, good bacteria.<br /><br />So true, they aren't cures, just like yogurt isn't a cure, but all 3 are good for your immune system. If I get sick from anything, I want a strengthened immune system.<br /><br />It seems like common sense to want a strong immune system when fighting an infection such as the flu, but <a href="http://www.canada.com/edmontonjournal/news/business/story.html?id=3eecc3b3-ac7a-4dc6-a857-902c3d782fae">some journalists are trying to scare people</a> away from food that will build their immune systems.<br /><br />It's important to differentiate between something that's helpful and a scam. <span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >Eating </span>sauerkraut and kimchi is healthy, and other suggestions need to be questioned.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">tags: health, news </span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30716936-115277158756824306?l=the-natron-blog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Natehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13059079316733804455noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30716936.post-1152757109333599732006-07-12T21:01:00.000-05:002006-07-29T17:55:31.223-05:00You don't want to pay for music, but you don't want to break the law?<br />There are over a million FREE songs available to listen to online.

The basic software is free, but a lot of companies try to charge for it. (Check the <a href="http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=limewire&cs=bz&amp;fr=buzz">sponsor results on this Yahoo search</a>). There is no reason to pay for this software. If you're looking for an upgrade to Limewire, check out <a href="http://www.frostwire.com/">Frostwire</a>. According to their web site "<a href="http://www.frostwire.com/?module=about">FrostWire, although very much like LimeWire, will never offer a paid version or a subscription service for the download or use of the FrostWire application.</a>". You can't beat that.<br /><br />Of course, downloading and sharing music can be illegal, but there's plenty of <a href="http://the-natron-blog.blogspot.com/2006/07/1-million-free-and-legal-songs.html">free and legal content online</a>. The media seems to only focus on what's illegal, which is understandable because that's also exciting.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">tags: computers, music<br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30716936-115275458147896102?l=the-natron-blog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Natehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13059079316733804455noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30716936.post-1152752313060284312006-07-12T19:50:00.000-05:002006-07-12T20:53:44.463-05:00Ever wonder what other people are interested in?

Prevention. But how can you do that without avoiding the internet???</p> <p><strong><a href="http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html">SpywareBlaster</a><br /></strong><br />It works better than anything I've seen, and it's <strong>free</strong>. Instead of removing spyware, SpywareBlaster blocks spyware from installing. I also suggest occasionally running<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"> </span><a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-8022_4-10399602.html?tag=lst-0-1">Ad-Aware</a> and <a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Destroy/3000-8022_4-10401314.html?tag=lst-0-1">Spybot Search and Destroy</a><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"> just to be safe. Since I started using SpywareBlaster, I haven't found any spyware on my PC.</span> </p> <p>One thing to note, you will need to check for updates manually, but it's built into the software interface, so it's easy. There is a paid version that updates automatically.</p> <p>You can find it on Download.com.
