er... non-optical media. my bad.

In my experience, it seems only XP SP2 and later parse [autorun.inf] on optical media.

A lot of people are missing the point. The iMacs (both CRT and LCD versions) have the monitor built-in to the same case as the computer, and they share a power button. There is no button to turn off the monitor... it's all or nothin'

/me is using AVG antivirus and Comodo firewall in windows.

Bruteforce into my gawker comment account, according to this, would take a few hours to crack. For important stuff, I use REALLY long passwords. On a small 5-PC video editing network I administrate, I have a 32-character password, uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and top-row symbols. Assuming a crack-time of…

Hey I have a song from the album on the left!

A comedian once mentioned having six deadbolts and randomly locking half of them (just remember which ones you locked) and then when a burglar tries to pick or bump the locks, he'll just end up locking the other half.

/me hugs his Wii. Oh and his new Nintendo game system too.

/me takes a screwdriver, removes 57 screws meticulously...

I'd love this if I had a broadband internet connection on the computer I planned on using this on...

My problem with ReadyBoost is I use my flash drive the way it was intended, and it's really slow (because high capacity and tiny form factor means some limitations). What they should do is make something specially designed for ReadyBoost that'll plug into a notebook's PCMCIA or ExpressCard slot (I'd need PCMCIA) or…
