Ok, how about this one?

I have a handful of USB keys that I am prepared to plug into someone else's machine, but they are all formatted with two partitions, a linux boot partition and an EXT2 data partition. Last time I checked, Windows couldn't see the second partition of a USB key and by design couldn't read an EXT2 partition, so if the machine accidently boots from Windows my data partition should safe from Windows malware and I have automated the re-formatting of the linux partition which is necessarily formatted as FAT

Needless to say that I only plug my keys into a strange machine that has been switched off and ensure that the machine boots from my key.

I spent several days of trial and error tuning my USB key formatting routines to work out what slightly non-standard format was necessary to boot a particular vendor's notebook and I dread finding a different vendor who will require me to do the same research in future.

On a much more pragmatic level USB keys are great if you can fit ALL your data on them. Once your data is spread among many keys, some of which are physically identical you really miss the large flat surface of a DVD onto which you can write a summary of its contents.

I never thought I would have anything in common with Stephen Elop but I have to agree that one of my most formative experiences was learning the EDT editor on a VAX. I already knew the PET, the Apple ][ , the BBC Micro, the HP-85 but that editor just made developing a pleasure. On that machine I graduated from the various flavours of Basic and assembly to Pascal (because the manuals for DEC Pascal were lying around) and then someone showed me a copy of K&R and that changed my life.

In a way the things that got me into my chosen career weren't just the technology but the books. First "Illustrating Basic" by Douglas Alcock, Then the 6502 programming manual by Rodney Zaks, and later as already mentioned - K&R.

While I'm reminiscing, around the time I was besotted with the EDT editor on VAX I once noticed a Porsche driving through Manchester with the registration number A780VAX and I talked about it to anyone who would listen for weeks afterwards

Facebook sends CD's what?

Facebook sends CD's jewel case?

Facebook sends CD's cover art?

Facebook sends CDs to those who request their data?

Danged apostrophe's!

Something like this perhaps?

I don't think that means what you think it means

So I logged into Hotmail and yes, there was the apology buried in all the spam

I was amused to see that 10 days earlier Register Marketing had sent me a mail entitled...

ON-DEMAND : The security mistakes users make

(My emphasis). Sounds like one not miss.

A very, very old joke:

A man walks up to a woman and asks her if she would sleep with him for 25 million dollars.

She hesitates, looks him up and down and then says that yes, she probably would.

"So would you sleep with me for 25 dollars?"

"Certainly not - what sort of girl do you think I am?"

"We've already established that - now we're just haggling over terms"

A martian walks up to the president of the United States:

"Would you kill your own citizens without due process, create laws but keep secret your interpretation of them if..."

It's a bit like some cars had a race and one of them won.

Although the average slashdot reader probably has difficulty imagining anyone dumb enough to want to use this service, I guess every click from those who do must be like pure gold to the advertisers.

I just KNOW I'm going to regret having Googled this topic...

If it was a macbook it would more likely be Skyhook, who mapped wifi networks before Google and I think they were used at least by the iPhone 3 before iPhones had GPS.

I can't test it as my router is not reachable from a public road but apparently Skyhook has (or had) an api for geolocating from a wifi AP's mac address.
