I agree that a VM is the best solution IF you can keep a user in the VM. The VM software that I've used in the past puts the host machine a click away. A Guest account isn't perfect, but it's pretty easy and gives you some lower level protection. It also means that I don't have to do anything strange or special when I let other people use the machine. They use it in the same mode that I use it. The browsers themselves will still be pretty vulnerable to bad plugins but I run a virus scanner which helps.

A Guest account in Guest Mode would have been nice, but they took that feature away in the release.

The media PC in my living room boots directly into the Guest account. Under the guest account I can USE almost all the programs I have installed seamlessly. There are some minor issues with software updates, XBOX controllers, and a complete inability to configure network settings, but that's about it. If I need to do anything that requires more rights I can deal with the UAC prompts that show up or simply log out and back in as an admin.

I know it's not flawless but I still feel pretty comfortable letting my tech savvy (e.g. dangerous) friends stay over unattended. It wouldn't hold up to anyone seriously determined to break the security but they have access to the physical machine and can't really be stopped anyway.

Speak for your own penis pix, please.

Let's put this to a slashdot vote. I vote that MORE end-user applications should have a CLI. If you don't understand it, don't use it. Nothing essential should require it.

You will want to avoid the old paper red/cyan glasses and go with the slightly more expensive plastic ones that are designed for LCD monitors and TVs. Otherwise be prepared for a LOT of ghosting. Also, nvidia makes platic red/cyan glasses that are designed to fit over regular glasses. You may also need to calibrate your monitor to make sure that red is really red and cyan is really cyan.

I was personally very surprised at how well red/cyan works. Of course the colors get a little muddle, but not as much as I had expected.

What kinds of companies do Kay Hagan and the other sponsors invest in? I know there are supposed to be laws preventing congress members from knowing the composition of their portfolios, but I don't know enough about it to understand why those laws don't seem to have any effect.

I haven't had a cable subscription for years and now get all my television from Hulu or Netflix. I also listen to Pandora Radio at home, work, and in the car. I guess I just don't get to know about the emergency evacuation plans that will save my life. Hopefully, streaming media over IP is just a fad and they won't have to rethink the relevance of a broadcast based Emergency Alert System.

Welcome to the schizophrenic world of technology.
