    Paid antivirus

    We had Panda Cloud Office Protection at work until yesterday but now we have ESET Endpoint Antivirus. But to be fair the cloud version seems to be better than their "normal" products to me, but I'm not really an expert on antivirus software.

    I've used UltraEdit on my computer for as long as I can remember. I'm pretty happy with it. But when it comes to antivirus, have anyone tried Forticlient, we have a Fortigate firewall at work so I got the client to set up the VPN client. But now it contains antivirus and parental control.

    Even better audio from a laptop v. Audio-gd NFB-15.1 + Emotiva Pro Airmotiv 4

    My point in the previous post was, you can try and add/remove/move around some natural damping materials in the room if you think the sound is "wrong". If more damping on the wall improves the sound, go ahead and buy some permanent wall treatment. When it comes to vented vs closed enclosures...

    Even better audio from a laptop v. Audio-gd NFB-15.1 + Emotiva Pro Airmotiv 4

    It's almost impossible to say without testing, it depends a lot on the room. Some speakers are designed to sound good in real rooms where it's pretty uncommon to have sound dampening on the walls, but they might have carpets, curtains, furniture and other things that affects the sound.

    I think every model of Renault made after 2003-2004 has gotten five stars in the Euro NCAP, and they don't make premium cars. I don't know how they would rate in the US tests, probably not quite as good, but at least it shows that it's possible to make safe AND inexpensive cars at the same time...

    I believe that 1 km/h higher speed means 2-3% more deaths. At least that's what the scientists say. Here's some information from the Autostrada system. I did a simple calculation just for fun, the table shows the energy of my car (1550 kg) when travelling at different speeds. 90->100 km/h...

    Personally I think it's worse that huge companies can buy the truth. But that has nothing to do with this. But it's fascinating that even the official statistics from USA lies to us and say that more people die in car accidents in rural areas rather than in urban areas. Of course, as long as...

    You know that the risk of death in case of an accident increases with 40% if you raise your speed from 90 km/h to 100 km/h? And that more people dies in traffic accidents in rural areas rather than urban? So it's probably not a good idea to drive around at 160+ km/h even if it feels comfortable.

    Highland Park 12... the first whisky I ever bought... The memories. :O) I like it a lot, but it's a small step up in price to the 15 and 18 here, so I usually go with the 18 when I buy Highland Park. (Usually in this case means about one bottle every two years.) A whisky I would like to try is...

    Peugeot are specialists in small and medium sized, efficient, cars so there's probably no market for them in USA. But they make great diesel engines. Volvo got their diesel engines from PSA (Citroën+Peugeot), at least a few years ago.

    Today was probably the hardest cycling day I've ever had so far, first a 26.4 km warm up ride and then heading home to grease the chain, then I took a 87 km trip with mostly climbing.

    I don't know the exact numbers but I think I've used a cadence around 60-80 for the last few years, it just feels most natural for me. I used higher gears before but that made my knees hurt, now those problem are gone.

    Another thing that works great is to hang a LED light from a zipper on the jacket and/or rucksack so it swings back and forth. I agree on the invisible thought, many drivers won't even see you in daylight even if you wear "screaming yellow" colored clothes. Apart from that, a "real" bike jacket...

    A hodge-podge of tyres

    I have continental premium contact 5 in that exact dimension. They are pretty good allround tires with excellent grip in the wet, but the sidewalls are too soft for my taste, so they kill most of the fun. I would probably go with the Pirelli P7 or something from Nokian if I was shopping for new...

    A Roubaix or Tarmac would definitely be nice, Specialized make some beautiful bikes, unfortunately their local dealer is more interested in selling kid bikes than racing bikes so it's pretty difficult to get a test ride. :/ Besides, the Sempre has been on my radar for about a year, so it wasn't...
