Since your running XP, you can use truecrypt to do a full disk encryption. This way it would require a password on boot.
My personal solution, i just don't save any real data to my drive. Also use a "master password" in firefox to encrypt my stored passwords.
I have plans on setting up home directory encryption (im running linux). That way only my personal settings and files are encrypted. Less preforance hit that way.
Also, you could just use an encrypted USB drive and keep all your settings there and use online backup when you have connection.
They had switched to Vista like MS was chanting all along they would not have had all thoes security holes in XP... oh wait Linux is what i was thinking of not Vista lol
A while back i remeber seeing a survy of what webservers each canidate was running. You can find it here
but to summerise:
Democrats Hillary Clinton - Windows Server 2003, Microsoft-IIS/6.0 by Paul Holcomb Barack Obama - FreeBSD, Apache by pair Networks
Republicans Mike Huckabee - Windows Server 2003, Microsoft-IIS/6.0 by LNH Inc. John McCain - Windows Server 2003, Microsoft-IIS/6.0 by Smartech Corporation Ron Paul - Linux, Apache by Rackspace Mitt Romney - Linux, Apache by Rackspace
Worth Mentioning: Al Gore (Democrat) - Linux, Apache by Rackspace Dennis Kucinich (Democrat) - Linux, Apache by New Age Consulting Rudy Giuliani (Republican) - Linux, Apache by RackSpace John Edwards (Democrat) - Linux, Apache by Plus Three
To summerise, the probably winners of the nominations are both running winblows. Damn no penguins or devils in the white house, just evil butterfiles!
The reporters could have waited just a little longer to make sure the law actually goes into effect that way it would take more effort to repeal it or something of the sort. Oh well.
MITM attack would probbably prove effective that or a few students DDOS the server whenever they please. Wireshark, nmap, hping, scappy, Nessus and ettercap are all great tools.
All to true!
A while back [adult swim] used to require activex to watch watch their videos on line. They kicked that to the curb since they realized that their demographic is the same demographic that is most likely to not use IE/ activex!
They got the picture so should every one else!
I am currently running the *newst* ati binary drivers and although they have added the Catalyst Control center (improvement ofer the old fglrx control center) mine (and a few other people i know using the same driver) cant seem to get dual monitor to work. And with the Opensource ati driver atleast AIGLX works but still no dual head display.
ATI needs to step up the quality of their coding and there is no *good* reason why ati does not support AIGLX and why their 8.35.5 is having problems with dual monitors. Because my laptop uses ati and i was so displeased with its state of drivers forced me to go with nvidia when i built my desktop a year ago. Im sure many people using Linux stay clear of ati when possible for the same reason. When and if they get their stuff together it will receive a warm welcome...if they do it right that is.
Also why is it people need programs like envy to install their drivers. Hopefully ATI and nvidia will pick up the slack hear and make it easer to install the drivers.
Here at Virginia Tech The College of Engineering (COE) Is requiring fall freshman for the '07 school year to meet these requirements.

The requirements are so outrageous for XP, for Vis+a however they will be just above minimum. The school also says that if you upgrade to vista your on your own as far as getting help from the university trouble shooting. This is all because Autodesk Inventor and Matlab don't yet fully work with vista and are required. Whats more is our school is attempting to move entirely on line (now about 70% of all things can be done online) and we use blackboard extensively. Whats more, On our blackboard login pages, they say not to use IE7 because of compatibility issues. On another online admin interface, they tell students to upgrade to FF 2 and IE 7 for better protection. This is one reason why there is building momentum to get FF 2 on our start of the year "Get Connected" CDs which install AV, activate windows Firewall, turn on auto updates, and check network settings.
I currently attend Virginia Tech for computer engineering and i'm taking a simester off to earn some extra cash and get some experience. I havent yet earned any certifications (A+, Linux+, MSC, etc...) but i do have serveral years of experience of trouble shooting PCs and what not.
So i tried to go for geek squad, Circuit City's equivalent and some other places. Never heard anything back. I finally hit a break and got an interview with this company (who im currently still working for) called Centuric ( www.centuric.com ). I was hired as a help desk support tech. At first i dint think i was really going to get any xp in my desired field. Turned out i was wrong.
After a few weeks i was doing all the tasks all the vets didnt want, reformatting, software installs, etc... It was still cool though cause in my between time i got to spend alot of time in the server room. I learned alout about diffrent server hardware we ran and why.
after about a month, my boss/ceo (company is less than 20 people) gives me a project. Install and set up Nagios on one of the servers. Since im the only person other than my boss who knows anything about linux, i was the only one who could do it. He had a copy of SUSE 10.1 installed. Due to the graphic drivers being broken (and the fact i just dont care fore kde;-p I put ubuntu server on it and now am in the process of getting nagios up and running.
Any way, my point is, even if you pick something that is not exactly what you want to do, as long as you can keep an open mind, youll find what your looking for.

envy is/was pre-feisty and envy also has the ability to compile the newst drivers for you instead of using the older prebuilt drivers in the repos.

They can't leave! If they do, I will have read the 45 page install manual for nothing!
Not To Be Nit Picky but its not G7, its G8. US,CAN,GER,FRAN,ENG,RUS,JAP,IT. Thanks High School History.
