Back when a cup of coffee cost a dime, there was a saying:

"That, and a dime, will get you a cup of coffee."

It is a way for someone to imply that something was considered
worthless.

Actually, I thought Technomage's post was a good one (but worthless to
me).

English. Try translating it into any other language without the benefit of
your explanation

Why not use Av-comparatives which is objective:

"ClamAV" via Ubuntu Repositories.
