Paint.NET 3.01 is Out
Paint.NET is image and photo manipulation software
designed to be used on computers that run Windows.
It supports layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and
a wide variety of useful and powerful tools. It started
development as an undergraduate college senior design
project mentored by Microsoft, and is currently being
maintained by some of the alumni that originally worked on it.
Originally intended as a free replacement for the MS Paint
software that comes with Windows, it has grown into a
powerful yet simple tool for photo and image editing.
Needs .net 2.0 framework installed if not there is a link
on the page with 2.0 framework.

Asian giant hornet
The stinger of the Asian giant hornet is about a quarter-inch (6 mm) in length, and injects an especially potent venom that contains, like many bee and wasp venoms, a cytolytic peptide (specifically, a mastoparan).
That can damage tissue by stimulating phospholipase action, in addition to its own intrinsic phospholipase. Masato Ono, an entomologist at Tamagawa University near Tokyo, described the sensation as feeling "like a hot nail being driven into my leg."...Wiki Entry Here

The 20 Minute Guide to PC Security
With over 140,000 known computer viruses and 85,000,000 spam emails sent out each day, the likelihood of your PC coming into contact with malware such as virsues, worms, and spyware is almost guaranteed. And once your computer becomes infected with malware, simple tasks such as browsing the web can be very frustrating as your computer's speed is drastically decreased -- that is if you can still connect to the internet at all. Given the prevalence of malware, the only real long-term solution is preventing it from infecting your computer altogether, but how?
Good Guide but don't use Norton or Zonealarm. A good Free Firewall is Comodo Here and Nod32 for antivirus are my recommendations.
