They _come_ with a Linux distro called 'Winki 3'.
For an example, see: http://us.msi.com/product/mb/Z77A-G45-Thunderbolt.html

....Not because of the take down.

I refer you to this paragraph (from: http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?21876-Ignorant-Bliss-of-a-Mall-Photographer):

"According to her, the main problem is with all the businesses in the mall. Of course these days most are all corporate brand stores carefully controlling any media exposure. Any advertising photography is supposedly carefully shot so only the store making an ad is in any shots without logos of nearby stores. And she said there are issues of invasion of privacy of customers. I related the Christmas decorations were quite beautiful and that people would find photographing the mall wonderful but she went back to the business issues tangled up with legal issues. I related I'd taken a number of shots, gave her my business card, and said I would not take any more images. I could have related to her a few other reasons why I'd expect photography to be prohibited in stores or malls like security and store marketing issues. I'm sure she could have elaborated more too if she made time to do so."

I personally known someone who ran into this kind of trouble when trying to document the landscape overgrowing the street signs in a open-air mall.

(If you want to know more, search for 'Mall Photography' and ignore the links to photo studios. This same situation has happen before all over the place.)

...Then I would suggest Kaspersky: http://www.kaspersky.com

It's comprehensive, it has signatures for almost every virus/malware/etc out there. (I've used it to remove stuff from some of my friends' machines that their installed antivirus program wasn't catching.)

It's simple to use, my dad has it on his machine, and he's around 76 so I don't think that your son or you will have problems using it.

It's customizable, you can lock down your laptop as much as you like using the 'Parental Controls'. (My dad uses it to keep from accidentally wandering into parts of the Internet he'd rather not see. Also, you can lock the system down by: limiting the time the computer is run (no more late night sessions), limiting the places on the internet the laptop can connect to (so the laptop could only be connecting to the gaming sites), and limiting which programs be run (limit laptop to running just the game programs)).

It's lightweight on a system, the parts (modules) were designed from the ground-up to work together, so it easily runs in the background without consuming lots of resources.

First: Get a copy of Windows Server 2012 and use the new deduplication system (which uses 'file chunk' deuplication level across an entire disk): https://www.usenix.org/conference/usenixfederatedconferencesweek/primary-data-deduplication%E2%80%94large-scale-study-and-system

Now, that you've taken care of the data duplication, let's talk about the tools for sifting through large sets of files:

1. Get 'Everything' (http://www.voidtools.com/): This tool allows for the 'instant' searching for any file throughout _all_ your files, I've used it on 4 million files myself. Just start typing part of the file name and it will show you a list of where those files are located on your system. Also, the list is 'live', you can right click on any icon in the file list, and it will act the same as you right clicked on the file itself in Explorer.

2. Get 'SpaceMonger' (http://www.sixty-five.cc/sm/): This tool shows what's taking up the space on your computer, it's similar to 'WinDirStat' but more flexible, customizable, and detailed.

3. Get 'ZTreeWin' (http://www.ztree.com/): This tool is the Swiss-Army knife program for working on files (finding, searching, viewing). If you remember 'XTree', it's a clone of that which can work on 4 million(+) files.

4. Get 'Beyond Compare' (http://www.scootersoftware.com/): This tool allows for easy comparison/synchronization of folders (and files). Compare two of your old backup folders and merge them.

If you can't use DBAN (Darik's Boot And Nuke) [www.dban.org] to wipe the hard drive, then try:

CCleaner [http://www.piriform.com/CCLEANER]: Use this to wipe browser info, temp files, etc. etc plus a whole lot more.

WSCC (Windows System Control Center) [http://www.kls-soft.com/wscc/]: This program allows you to download and use these utility suites: Windows Sysinternals Suite (including support for Sysinternals Live service) & NirSoft Utilities
Download both suites and use the password utilities to look at (and remove) your browser stored passwords.

'Everything' [http://www.voidtools.com/download.php]: This program creates a live list of _every_ file on your computer that you can instantly search through
[for example, to find all PDF files on your computer, type '*.pdf' and it'll be done searching as soon as you type the 'f'] (I've used it to search millions of files on a server).

'Spacemonger' [http://www.sixty-five.cc/sm/]: This program visually shows all files on a drive, allowing you to see the big, buried files and where they're stored.

Well, this is the clearest explanation of this question I've seen...
(Thanks!) ...Which highlights the problem, if a question needs explanation, maybe it's not such a good question after all.

The disclaimer also notes that the sensor _can't_ record anything higher than 40Gs (in section 3.2), so the actual G forces of the accident could be higher than mentioned in the article.

Read 'Rapid Development: Taming Wild Software Schedules' by Steve McConnell:
http://www.stevemcconnell.com/rd.htm

I would _start_ with reading chapters 3 ("Classic Mistakes") & 11 ("Motivation")

Also, read these other books by Steve McConnell.
    "Software Estimation: Demystifying the Black Art." A comprehensive set of tips and heuristics that software developers, technical leads, and project managers can apply to create more accurate estimates.

    "Code Complete 2. A practical handbook of software-construction practices." Updated for web development, object-oriented development, agile practices, and other modern construction issues.

Actually, Microsoft is big enough (more than 600 different product groups) that you need to ask: Which part of Microsoft are you talking about when discussing open source?

Here's Microsoft stance on Open Source:
http://thinktankblog.olliancegroup.com/?p=426

"Microsoft’s involvement with open source is visible and growing – including sponsoring the Outercurve Foundation, participating in events like Olliance Think Tank, Oscon and OSBC, and hosting hundreds of OSS projects on Codeplex.com, the open source project hosting site. Why is Microsoft interested in OSS?

We recognize the value of openness in working with others — including a variety of open source communities — to help customers and partners succeed in today’s heterogeneous IT environments. This includes increasing opportunities for our business partners to support our joint customers regardless of their underlying development model and for developers to learn and create by combining open source with traditional commercial approaches to software development.

Like many other participants in the OSS ecosystem, Microsoft supports open source communities and projects in order to make our products more accessible, as well as to enable our customers to deploy and manage interoperable solutions in mixed source environments. We have found the most success with open source projects rooted in these principles.

Change and innovation are often driven by customer demand. Many of our customers operate heterogeneous IT environments with commercial proprietary software, commercial open source software and community-based open source software working side-by-side. To support our customers and become a more open, innovative company, we’ve worked hard to make open source an increasingly important part of our DNA. We have a better appreciation today for the open source development model, and we have increased our efforts to explore potential ways in which Microsoft technologies may interoperate with open source solutions.

Our perspective on open source software continues to evolve based on many factors, including our increased technical experience and dialogue with customers, open source companies and open source communities. Events like the Open Source Think Tank present a rich environment for discussion among all of these audiences."

It can be done if you use a 'Tunnel Shield':

...Which can be seen by viewing SUA based process in Windows's Task Manager.

Do this:
1. Install SUA
2. Run KSH (the command line shell that SUA installs)
3. Open Task Manager
4. Change the columns so that 'command line' is showing.

You will notice that the SUA processes have _wrong_ (corrupted?) information displayed. This is based on the fact SUA is a different _subsystem_ and stores process based information (specifically, command line information) in memory in a _different_ format than the _Win32_ subsystem.

So when a Win32 process tries to access a SUA process...and there's no checking for a process' system type...

Searching for "two way messaging" and limiting the date rate to _before_ 2005 reveals old web pages mentioning the subject.

For example, here's a web page from 2002:
http://www.wireless-location.com/fcc/tech.htm

Which says:
Along with the FCC's deregulation of telecommunications services, all three of these service providers now offer their customers Email, Internet, and Paging along with their traditional fleet dispatching services. Both Bellsouth and ARDIS (through third party manufacturers) offer small handheld messaging devices that have full function keyboards for two way messaging. Late in 1997 Bellsouth acquired 100% ownership of RAM and in March of 1998 changed the name to Bellsouth Mobile Data. ARDIS, which until recently was owned by Motorola, has been acquired by AMSC to complement its nationwide satellite data communications network by offering its customers lower cost service where ARDIS coverage is available.

Or this press release from 1994:

...because all the WiFi channels are saturated. :-(

Even though my apartment is _below ground_ and I get _very poor_ AM/FM radio and cell phone service, I can't get _20 feet_ from my wireless access point.

Running the 'WiFi Analyzer' Android App shows 10 _different_ WiFi networks, and that's _only_ the networks that are broadcasting their ID's!

Our teletype was hooked into the school district's computer (dedicated land line) and was actually in a classroom, so kids could wander over and see how people were doing.

There was a printout to the left of the teletype (taped to the wall) which showed the complete game for the fastest trip to Oregon. (They made it by August!)

According to the linked story, Oregon Trail wasn't available for most of 1974, so I'd say that Styopa and I are remembering the 1975-1976 school year.

This is the memory I have in mind when I tell people, "...I've been doing computer games for 36 years..."

And, typing "Bang!" quickly was a problem, as the 'shift' and 'enter' keys are _not_ any bigger than the rest of the keys on the Teletype!
