I tend to use nice a fair bit personally, some times I want my desktop to be really responsive, other times I want my background compilation task to be fast.. just depends on what I am up to, and no matter how good the scheduler is it can't read my mind (for god's sake I get enough 404 errors trying to find the bit I want and its my head)

Wouldn't surprise me if MS aren't going to be secretly happy about this hack... means they will sell a few more units to people than they would relying purely on X-Box owning buyers (I'm tempted to get one for looking at machine IR vision stuff... and the last console I owned was an old Atari. A *VERY* old Atari at that.... just about managed to play pong on it or breakout)

And she didn't think she was above the law, it was a mistake... which I guess you never mak.. oh guess you do make them :p. Anyway, the bit she got annoyed at wasn't being told to remove it was the lecture the customs/security ape tried giving her - she probably authorised most of the lecture...

IMO most security experts who spout garbage like this suggestion from Sophos should be taken outside, placed against a wall and subjected to a fire power demonstration using a range of handguns.

Idiots like this give the IT security field a bad name as being made up of charlatans and snake-oil sales men. More cowboys in this field now than the Wild West used to boast... and more bullshit generated than all the bulls in the wildwest used to ;)
