I remember being astonished some years ago when distant cousins-in-law came to dinner. Retired North of Ireland pig farmers. I served a lamb roast with roast spuds and pumpkin and green beans. They had to ask what the delicious orange veg was, and were most surprised to hear it was something they considered stock feed.

The main ingredient in pumpkin spice is Cinnamon. I usually bake a couple of pies in November and December but don't go nuts over it. I think a lot of it comes from the coffee chains like Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts.

Hi All,
Got my Mojo distured by a new directive from IT, uninstall Kaspersky with haste replace Eset Now (if not sooner!). So follow me here back in 90's most viruses & malware were from Eastern Europe, Kaspersky shines out as a valiant crusader to take control of Virus & Malware. Time passes and somebody notices a back door uploading info somewhere. Gets booted off defense and securiity networks. To be Replaced by Eset a Slovakian company their installer didn't quite work, but I got it in the end and left my work PC to be probed. Okay they are not Russian, but still from the East.
AVG turned to Spyware, Norton/Mcfee disappeared, Kaspersky Mr Putin reads your email, Total AV seems to do odd things (in my experince), Avast sounds like a pirate... For my personal devices I'm sticking with Windows Defender. Any views anyone...

Here, company pc's have installed "traps palo alto". I think there is no free version for private use.
Before "traps" in the company, it was sophos and at that time sophos had a free version for private use, which still runs on missus laptop.
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

Don't get Cisco AMP.
I'd rather be phishing!
|
|
|
|

Could you please expand on that?
|

We had tons of issues when AMP decided to freeze (like really freeze/dead/need to pull the plug) computers when it thought that Visual Studio was a virus.
We had to generate a list of hundred+ exceptions (folders/files/processes) to the system.
We needed to setup a white list of folders in which we put all of our work.

Interesting.
We have Amp at my job as well (package deal with the Cisco routers), but so far without any problems... So far.
Amp uses Bitdefender under the hood, would you have any clue whether that's the culprit or if it's Ciscos implementation that's at fault?

I still use AVG but block it reporting back - at least partially.

Never saw that before, maybe I was too quick to judge them...

 Maybe the thinking was 'Well they created most of the Virus problem, they can clear it up'?

I was a long-time user of ESET Antivirus until Windows 10 and the much-enhanced Defender came along. ESET was reliable, frequently updated, had a fairly low impact on performance, and a generally good reputation at the time. I haven't used it in three years or so.

A few years ago I started work on a web project that involved an interactive hex-grid display (yes, it was a game). I used jQuery 1.1 and a nice add-on library that allowed jQuery-like control of SVG. It worked very well but I had other things come along and I left it alone for a couple of years.
Now I want to start it up again but the SVG library is no longer maintained and doesn't seem to work with Jquery 3.0 which I want use as I use it in all my other web projects. Someone suggested I switch to one called "Raphael" but before I start converting my old code I want to scan the field for the best option.
Any suggestions?
Note: I have a lot of images already created in SVG so I am not looking to switch to using HTML5 canvas instead.

I used Raphael a few years ago. It worked well for what I needed, which was a "user control" for tagging and annotating images.
Other than that though I haven't used it for anything significant, nor have a used anything else to compare it to.
Unless you have some very specific needs, I wouldn't think it matters much what you use. Perhaps even just choose the library that has been around the longest, that way you probably don't have to worry about restarting a 2nd time in another few years.

Hmmm. I just found Snap.svg which is written by the same author(s) of Raphael. Supposedly it's got all of Raphael but without legacy browser baggage and new feature for modern browsers.

I already have decided upon my main framework; I was looking for an SVG library but none of those sites even mention SVG - although I might have missed one.
