I do believe your talking out of your ass because as a former diver for phone stuff I am always very aware of card numbers & what gets printed out on receipts. Most retail outlets only print the last four no expiration or any other data, even on ATM receipts.
The days of having your entire card number on very receipt are long gone.
I managed to get rid of it though. I believe I killed the process in taskmgr while the stick was mounted, then used diskmgr to remove both partitions and repartition the disk as one full storage device rather then a large portion + a few megs for u3.
Oh and then just make a md5 rule to disallow any more instance of u3 to run so your users can't bring a fresh stick in and screw you up. Of course I'm speaking in windows, so ummv.
I love my original Xbox. I can stream mp3s and movies from the computer, or play dvd's via the tray, play legacy arcade & Xbox games, download clips from you tube / yahoo video / & lots of other sights including comedy central & other major broadcasting co's which includes back episodes of shows.
No it doesn't do HD but for a media gateway between the net / computer & tv / stereo I love it.
As far as installation it's really as easy as running the softmod exploit from the console, anyone that can install a factory cd os should have no problem using the softmod.
Way back in the annals of gaming history - the early nineties to be precise - an incredibly important game was released on the PC. That game was iD Software's now permanently immortalised Doom. We don't have to tell you about it, you already know, but depending on just how old you are and just how much you tinker with your games you might not realise Doom possessed one of the first heavily modded game engines.
By the time Doom was released people had already dabbled in modding on earlier games like Wolfenstien 3D and A Bard's Tale with such fervour that iD co-founder Tom Hall made one of his early goals with Doom to allow user created content to be designed with as much ease as possible. At release users could alter the graphics, levels, sounds and even core design of Doom by taking to its internal 'WAD' file format with an array of MS-DOS based tools creating new, funny and downright stupid content for the 'father-figure' FPS game. Enterprising folk created new maps, new themes or even comedic endeavours like 'Mock 2: The Speed of Stupid' - a bundle of Doom maps whose designs were intentionally bizarre, boring or downright freaky.
From early forays like this an unspoken partnership was born between developers and end users that has exploded into a fiery dynamic world of user created content that takes the games we know and love, and makes them better. Counter-Strike is a case in point; a mod that turned the alien infested Half-Life into a detailed tactical shooter. It became so damned popular it overshadowed the original game engine it was built on, like the student outshining the teacher. Counter-Strike - like other big names in the modding world - only served to fan the flames.
The advantages of modding are easily spotted; the consumer gets to purchase a new game that once conquered, can be re-played in a new setting with new content or environments, while old games have their shelf life extended considerably through modding teams pushing the engine further with their own imagination and ingenuity. For the developer, the trade-off of spending time bundling good tools to expose the inner workings of its games for the modding community begets better sales of the title thanks to the attractiveness of the extra content available. And happily nestled in the middle of all this are the modders themselves, who get unprecedented exposure online to sell their own skills by building on the foundations of commercially released games.
Developers now look to the modding community for fresh talent to scoop up into professional roles and some of the best in the business have risen through the ranks from a starting point of game mods. The one downside of this gigantic orgy of creativity and content is the admittedly haphazard quality. With a few freeware tools and a decent game engine any nut and their army of trained monkeys can create and release a mod onto the market, resulting in the good stuff hidden amongst great wads of less than shining work.
That's where we come in. Gameplayer has scoured the length and breadth of the internet to find you some of the most promising game mods for some of the best games, and we're going to take you through each one. Some are new, some are old, some are finished while others are still very much a work-in-progress, but each one is well worth a look if you're on the hunt to get the most out of your games. Read on, and have your browser ready to do some serious downloading but just remember - the modding scene is big, huge in fact, so what we're showing here is just a drop in the ocean.

Try and orchestrate your favorite song with a 50 pound hammer in your hand, when the songs done you will know why you can't cast and wield at the same time.
This is not an apologetic excuse for the band. I haven't been on tour or seen a show since "The Other Ones" and was totally turned off at the difference the scene had become since Jerry passed. I do however still consider myself a head, and always will be as my heart & my ink is permanent.
I have however, read a bunch about the band and there are some reasons the attitude changed, based on a few things that happened towards the end of the band & post Jerry. Dicks picks started getting very popular towards the end of the bands time and this caused strife between the members because all of a sudden the "mixer" concert tapes became valuable when remastered & released as CD's with art work, lyrics etc.
When Jerry passed there was no longer the voice for open source audio, that coupled with the band realizing they would no longer be able to produce the revenue they had become accustom changed the remaining members attitudes towards the tapers.
Now I realize these guys should be rolling in cash with all the years of touring they did, and I'm sure to some extent they are. But the dead also was always on the cutting edge of audio equipment / speakers & had a very large amount of people working for them through the 70-80's. GDE had so many people employed to handle the band, equipment, and business on the road that after Jerry many friends & employees of theirs had to be cut back, laid off and generally left without any source of income. I also don't think anyone in the band was particularly wise about handling cash.
I'm glad to hear that other bands have continued the tradition, and I still pride myself on all the tapes I managed to collect in my high school / college days. I wish Bobby, Micky and the rest of the band hadn't decided to take the route they did. Then again, if any of them want to continue to make money they now play festivals as a side act which is a far cry from selling out stadiums every night, at every venue year after year.
Cause if he was he would know his bandwidth is going to cost him way more the the ROI from his amazon links. Something tells me he didn't think that through.

damn it Slashdot that was supposed to be a reply to Rob T Firefly's post
ok... not sure which side of the field that came from but what ever. I was just pointing out the term.
But it seems our friend here has found a means of perfecting it.
A PERFECT VIBRATOR!
come on if your going to set up the joke at least finish your half of the line
You mean? A VIBRATOR!
You are correct but there isn't anything magical about it it's called perceived value you study it in microeconomics.
