@paintbox: The CLI is not arcane; I'd even go so far as to venture that people who know the CLI are moreefficient at their tasks than other folks.

Woohoo! Great job, LH crew! You do produce one of the best and most useful blogs out there. :)

@paintbox: Actually, the only thing worse is a useless response. Have anything useful to say about Dropbox/symlinks/etc.? At least I did that.

On a side note, this just points out how pitiful Windows links are in comparison to the *nix-based counterparts.

@davidr521: It does?!?! That's the craziest thing I've heard all week ... so, one doesn't need an additional secure file erasure program (like Eraser) if one's using CCleaner??

@urpwnd: Ohh yeaaahhh, now that's what I'm talkin' about. :)

@Christopher Chambers: For secure file erasure? Definitely not - CCleaner is designed to remove crap files from your system, not securely erase individual files or drives.

@nka: Yeah, I don't fully understand the hit-or-miss file recovery thing, either. I've used Recuva (by the people who make CCleaner) with pretty good success in the past.

@nka: Negatory, my friend. It might be tempting to think so, but a drive format overwrites information on the disk platters only once. As the article mentioned, anyone with not-to-hard-to-attain skills could pull data from that formatted drive.

@TheFu: Dahaha, I love it!

Not sure why one would use this ... can't you use, say, Launchy to search across external disks, too?

@Nik Coley: Isn't Spacemonger a paid app, though? Free Disk Analyzer is a good free option.

@royb2000: And so ... what?

Another vote for the Hamachi + UltraVNC setup. Toss in Dropbox and you've got a pretty good solution. I, too, use this for remote support of family members.

@concordia: I'd be curious to see the analysis you speak of. Do you have a link?

@Noah Hendrix: Ahhh Preview ... if only Windows had an equivalent program.

Why bother when you can get DriveImage XML for free? What does this have that DI doesn't?

This doesn't necessarily apply, but every time there's a post that's OS-specific, we get trolls from the other fan groups complaining in the comments. Super useless.

Now, does Apple TV act as a DVR, as well? I know this goes against the whole "cut-the-cable" thing, but that would be a sweet addition...

Dahahaha, I love it!
