Thumb drive.
Why not just use true crypt and keep every single file you think is critical on that thumb drive. You can even default set your MyDocuments and force the drive type to a specific drive letter, so its transparent when you boot.
Bonus points because if your laptop is stolen, odds are you still have the drive in your pocket or wallet. Don't think you can cram a thumb drive in your fat wallet. Try this one on for size.

Isn't a number.....yet.

this brings up a question that has been haunting my house for years now. those spiral slides, like they have in playgrounds. is that a ramp or a screw?

Clearly you are making the false assumption that people are even reading the pooorly written articles.

To see this principle in action, watch the American Idol tryouts.

I personally experienced a true miracle.

I was healed in a week of a broken collar bone after a youth group prayed over me. That event has carried me through many a tough time.

You can't put it in a lab, and you can't force the experiment on God, but the proof is there if your willing to look at it.

Sorry about you loss, and God Bless

Or they are waiting to give God a chance to preform a miracle.

There are all kinds of last minute rescue stories in the Bible. Jonah and the whale, the parting of the Red Sea, even the bringing back from death of Lazarus.

Who but those without faith would assume that it's a lack of faith that motivates them?

It's because its a French word silly.

The way I see it, they just gave this software, license free.
That means no copyright, no protection of their supposed intellectual property associated with it. Basically if the code can be reverse engineered, viewed, uncompiled, or whatever it should be just fine and dandy for anyone to make and publish whatever they will with it.
This should also include any software that they own that is required to run this little present.
Its probably useless code anyway, but if companies that released stuff like this risked loosing rights to everything attached to the 'gifted' software in question this practice would stop.

or, better still, the xtracycle!

so you prefer the propaganda from people like exon who want you to go out and buy their gasoline?

sure do. and for a long time, before the advent of industrialization, the climate has experienced only moderate fluctuations even with all that volcanic co2. then along came escalades and coal plants and massive human-engineer deforestation projects that when added to all that volcanic co2, it tipped the balance to a general warming trend.

of course the earth heats and cools on a cycle. no one is claiming otherwise. the concern currently is the amplitude of the cycle and the speed at which the general warming trend is expected to occur... not the existence of the cycle itself.

uh, yes, of course he would. people who are opposed to climate change, which so many here seem to call "global warming", are not by extension in favour of global cooling. they're in favour of a global climate that is stable within the normal and natural rates of fluctuations.

and fair value at that price.

it's only been six weeks since the u.s. election -- and already people are forgetting the importance of anonymity.

in the united states, indeed in every western democracy, ballots are secret. no one questions this anonymity -- indeed, it's mandated by law.

the reason we have secret ballots is simple: the framers of the constitution (any western constitution) realized that people could only truly vote their conscience, express their political preference, if they could do so without fear of reprisal or ridicule. anonymity is a cornerstone of a free and democratic society.

it's kind of a shame that ms. dyson doesn't realize that.

and the tax on cd-rs is such a wild success.

witness my band. we suck. people hate us. no one comes to our shows. so, we release a cd. since we're not big enough to be granted an exemption, we pay the cd-r tax on all the blanks we use (and, yes, we used a legit duplication plant). of course, our cd sells miserably and we get nowhere near the beak-even point.

which means.... we lose $300 putting out our cd, and the tax we paid on the blanks goes straight into the pockets of a big-name canadian act. perhaps avril levign. that's right: levign makes more money off my artistic creation than i do.

thank you socan!

seriously. at best this sounds like a marginally novel take on cogeneration.
