  1. Re:But OTOH on Desktop Linux on x86 - Adapt or Die · · Score: 0

    Have you heard of NASA's subvocal speach?
    "We took the alphabet and put it into a matrix -- like a calendar. We numbered the columns and rows, and we could identify each letter with a pair of single-digit numbers," Jorgensen said. "So we silently spelled out 'NASA' and then submitted it to a well-known Web search engine. We electronically numbered the Web pages that came up as search results. We used the numbers again to choose Web pages to examine. This proved we could browse the Web without touching a keyboard," Jorgensen explained."

  14. DeepFreeze on How Would You Lock Down a Windows XP Machine? · · Score: 1

    there is a program called deepfreeze, you install it onto a drive and from that point on any changes made to the drive will be lost on reset. give the user full admin rights, it will be fine, you can just restart and all is well again. "Incorporating patent-pending, proven technology, Deep Freeze is the benchmark for bulletproof workstation protection. Deep Freeze is simple, easy to use and installs in seconds as configuration only requires a password. All computers are completely restored to their original software configuration by simply restarting the computer. Deep Freeze instantly protects and preserves original workstation configurations. Deep Freeze is 100% successful at restoring the computer on every restart down to the last bit or byte. Deep Freeze completely eliminates software support issues." I've used it, I like it.
