The Martian is a puzzle book. Things go wrong, and you have to work out how to fix them before Mark Watney fixes them, and either feel clever if you got it right or feel stupid if you couldn't think of anything or got it wrong. Story isn't needed.

For a Monday show - do you have an episode's worth of stuff to say about Anti-Virus software?
Things like: what makes one better than another, what features and settings should you enable/disable in order to maximize both performance and protection, how different is it's role on a Mac or Linux machine, what challenges come up with it in a corporate environment?

Ok, got it. So when I start my online retail business, I'll take your advice and be sure not to include any security software on any machines in the office (client or server), while also allowing everyone from the VPs to the custodial staff unrestricted internet access.

Yes. This is exactly what you do. If someone looks at porn, fire them. If someone viruses up their computer, fire them. As long as you have proper security measures in place, none of your sensitive data or business critical applications can be affected by an employee's desktop being compromised.
There are plenty of security measures you should take. So-called anti-virus software simply isn't one of them.
Ok cool - then I probably was using incorrect terminology. I was thinking more along the lines of an episode with the actual security measures you should take, as mentioned above.
... But it does look like you've done an "IT Security Overview" episode some time ago, so I'll just show myself out.
If you have fail people working for you and want to keep them for some reason, they get locked down PCs and no ability to install or customize anything.
Book Club Book recommendation if you are looking for one.
Red Plenty Amazon Blurb: "Strange as it may seem, the gray, oppressive USSR was founded on a fairy tale. It was built on the twentieth-century magic called "the planned economy," which was going to gush forth an abundance of good things that the lands of capitalism could never match. And just for a little while, in the heady years of the late 1950s, the magic seemed to be working. Red Plenty is about that moment in history, and how it came, and how it went away; about the brief era when, under the rash leadership of Khrushchev, the Soviet Union looked forward to a future of rich communists and envious capitalists, when Moscow would out-glitter Manhattan and every Lada would be better engineered than a Porsche. It's about the scientists who did their genuinely brilliant best to make the dream come true, to give the tyranny its happy ending."
Jodorowsky's Dune. You've already had an episode about The Incal and The Metabarons, which from what I could tell were recycled ideas from his original Dune interpretation.
What would you do if you somehow suddenly came into 1.5 billion dollars?
1) Pay off the (legitimate) debts of everyone I care about 2) Ensure a secure financial future for myself and everyone I care about. 3) Fund the elections of enough congresspeople to fix democracy. 4) If there's any leftover, give to the awesomest charities. 5) Use my resources to protect the freedom of the Internet whenever it is threatened. 6) Buy a sports team if I have enough left over. 7) Live a life of nerdy beach luxury for as long as I live.
Scott's about right. But I'd probably found a game studio between #5 and #6.
I might accidentally make a game during a rainy day at the beach villa, but no reason to go making a bunch of people suffer in an office with actual jobs for the sake of game.
In 2014 the entire US House of Representatives combined raised about $1 billion dollars. Senate in the same year, $600 million.
This is what I don't understand. Apple computers has over $200 billion in cash in the bank. They could just buy the entire congress and save us all. Any multi-billionaire could single-handedly fund all the elections of all of congress, and set them free from the endless fundraising cycle.
Fuck this nonsense that we should all donate a small amount each. Reverse taxation nonsense. Tax one rich motherfucker and make him (because multi-billionaires are all old white dudes) pay for all the elections. DONE.
Bill Gates could have done this instead of spent it fighting Malaria. Because you know what? If the US government wasn't crippled by corruption, perhaps with its vast power, it could do an even better job of things like fighting Malaria than some software engineer can.

Episode done.
Win Cleaner. It was on TV, so it's totally legit.

OH will it happen.
How often? What makes a good game to reply, length? Ie Super Metroid vs FF7.
How often do you replay games, and do you wish you had time to replay more?
Also, it's hilarious in parts.

2) what you score
3) what you think of the legitimacy / usefulness of them
