I was thinking more along the lines of writing integrity checking from scratch for NoSQL vs. using what a major relational database comes with and has been polished by Oracle or Microsoft
The government forgot iSCSI, Firewire, and eSATA? Really? And, unless they have locked down new hardware discovery, you could add these in with a PC Card or Express Card slot on any laptop. iSCSI only requires a source system and rights to set up the drive. Even easier: map a network share on an unmanaged asset that you brought along to take advantage of DHCP.
And you don't need any magic or special software to trap a drive connection event, just use WMI. It works for any drive type: just listen for a drive connection event... like ten lines of code, max. You could set up an agent or script to watch for these on any Windows computer with almost zero effort... you could even do it remotely with the proper rights.
Plenty of vendors have software to help, too. Off the top of my head, McAfee, Symantec, and Cisco all have something. The catalog of features they offer attempt to manage the DLP idea a little more completely any one USB drive solution... although I admit none of the vendors have it absolutely right yet.
I will ask a question I always ask about something like this: What's the goal? If it is Data Loss Prevention (DLP) then I believe they have failed. If it is to prevent virus installations then could start with disabling autorun.inf and supplementing that effort with a little drive connection detection using WMI.
We still don't have a national database on bullet striations to uniquely identify all guns by the bullets they fire but the government is all over making sure that we uniquely identify all printers by the paper they've printed? That's crazy.
1. Buy and use an internet router.
2. Go into your network settings for your network card, find TCP/IP and open up its properties. Once there, select "Advanced" then "Options" then select TCP/IP filtering. Then set port 80 as the only allowed port. Then connect to the internet and update your computer. Rinse, repeat... etc. until fully up to date, then remove or adjust your filters accordingly.
If you really dig notepad as an editor, you should definitely download the Note Extender: Notepad Extender Download Page @ www.code-development.com Among other things, it adds buttons below the menus for common functions such as saving a file and it shows you what line number your cursor is on at the bottom of the window. It says 95/NT on the download page but I am running without any trouble in Windows 2000.

or is that more-than-useless... i'm still in a new-baby fog.
Thanks. I, too, am waiting for someone to chime in who knows the caveats of their horizontal data structure.
Thanks. I, too, am waiting for something less-than-useless to show up.

Popular Mechanics made mention of this about a year and a half ago: http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/earth/2690341.html?page=2 Mention of cellulosic ethanol 11 months ago: http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/earth/4237539.html?series=47 Biomass/switch grass over two years ago: http://www.popularmechanics.com/automotive/new_cars/1633301.html?page=3 Biomass November 2006 in a discussion about alternative fuel hurdles: http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/industry/4199381.html?page=3 There's a lot more. There is even this "Fuel of the future" PDF chart: http://media.popularmechanics.com/documents/Fuel_of_the_Future-e852.pdf I don't even subscribe...
Promise actually has a decent RAID 6 controller using SATA. Tom's Hardware reviewed it and two others a few weeks back: http://www.tomshardware.com/2006/01/02/safer_6_for _raid_controllers/

I doubt the EFF will be as successful as the NRA.
