Increasing Computer Security through Hardware?

Audiostar asks: "I am interested in adding some security to several of my computers, but am unsure as to which product to go with. I would like to use some sort of external security measure, such as a pen drive token or something similar. I had considered custom building a key card and reader to install on all my machines, but once I started thinking about the cost and time of building a card reader for each of my computers it became rather impractical. Does anyone have any suggestions for external locking devices or software? I would prefer something that I could use on both my Windows and Linux machines, but protecting the Windows machines are the top priority. I don't need anything too fancy, just an added layer of protection from the multitude of various people who come in and out of my place of business everyday. I own a 128mb flash disk watch, so possibly using that as a token would be both easy and geek chic. Any suggestions on what to install?"

    Nope, the fucking goddamn image map on the front page doesn't work. I click all over the goddamn thing and it doesn't take me anywhere else on the site. Running Mozilla on Linux, and the fucking thing is just plain broken.

    The site was written by a moron, and you're a moron if you think it works on Mozilla.
