No BS Podcast #93: The We Suck at Improv Edition
Posted 01/23/09 at 06:18:31 PM by The Maximum PC Staff
The gang gathers for a special live (read: unedited) recording of the No BS Podcast. Unfetterd by the vise-like grip of censorship, we dish out more Windows 7 impressions and tips, discuss our recent antivirus roundup, and answer unscreened listener call-in questions. Gordon rants about shopping bags and wonders why anyone would ever be afraid of Mothra. This and more in this week's nearly-zombie-free episode!

I liked this live version. you guys should do a few more through out the year. And the Gordon's rant break sound effect is only 2nd to the the Law & Order "doink doink".

As a note about the linksys wrt54g version 6 router question: The caller might try flashing his router with dd-wrt micro as that will fit on the version 6 router. I had the same problem with my version 8 router, even when updating to the latest linksys firmware. After flashing it to dd-wrt, it hasn't frozen yet! :)
Guys great podcast as usual.

Guys great podcast as usual. I really enjoyed it. Will this be the new style for the NoBS podcast? I hope so. It was really freaking funny.
I fully agree with Paul Lilly on his awarding NIS2009 with a 9KickAss. I wonder what objectably would a AV suite require to get a Perfect 10 score and if it's even possible. I understand a 10 has to be perfect and a leader in it's catagory. It seems to me that NIS2009 is that if not very very close to being the best AV product you can get. And for $49bucks it's certainly not the most expensive either. But as I said without a doubt Paul is dead on. I also agree with his choice for best free AV product. I used Avira Antivir befor I started using NIS2009. I tryed on all of the free AV products available and found Avira to be the easiest on resources as well as a fairly quick scanner. But what really won me over was being able to right click it's task tray icon and choose to disable it so I could free up resources for gaming (an old school trick and possibly bad habit). NIS2009 allows me to just as easily shut down the AV for gaming and I have to tell you that that is a feature I really appreciate, Nice touch Norton.
Also I fully agree with your assessment of Window 7.
Thanks for taking the time to produce this podcast on your own time. I personally appreciate the hardwork that goes into these podcasts and I just want you guys to know that.
Are some links dead, or is it me?

Over the last week, I have been unable to hear the last few podcasts via Audio MP3, Internet Explorer 7.0.6 (Vista SP1) says the old "This page cannot be displayed", and I don't have (or want) iTunes. Is this my machine, or is anyone else have the same problem? Thanks!

I just got the new issue of MxPC magazine and I thought to myself that the only thing that could truly make my night more happy is to hear a brand new No BS podcast. Knowing my luck, however, I knew this probably would not happen for me. I come on for that faint glimp of hope and there I see the wonderful picture of No BS podcast and the newest downloadable podcast from MxPC. You guys rock. Oh, and you made my night, too!
