@Chaim Chaikin: It probably costs the airlines a lot more money to bring you whatever bandwidth it does vs. a Starbucks.

There are such things as skimmers with a false keypad which will capture your PIN.

@sisya: Not one click but Windows Movie Maker is pretty damn easy to use on Windows 7 (free but you have to download it) and has built in "upload to Youtube" functionality, if that appeals to you.

@superhappyfuntime: "Hacking" in the modern Internet vernacular can be generic term applied to changing or modifying anything. It doesn't have to refer specifically to a computer hacking which is what you seem to be alluding to. The name of this blog is Lifehacker—I'm pretty sure the code of my life hasn't been…

@StormtrooprDave: Agreed. Might be useful for systems that barely meet the game's system requirements though.

@Zeebly: Looks like the tinfoil hat squad is in full force. LH probably receives hundreds of emails a day with many great tips and probably a bunch that can't be used for one reason or another because the tipster failed to include or confused certain information. They're just helping you get your tip on the blog, if…

This really only tells you if the TRIM command is being sent by Windows. I don't really know of any definitive way to check if TRIM is actually working (on my non-Intel SSD).
