I receive a few calls a year from "toner pirates"...the kind who call you one day asking for the make and model of the printer nearest you and call the next day saying that the cost of toner for [insert make and model] is going up, but they have reserved some for me. And before I can *politely* ask to be removed from all their lists, they hang up on me. Apparently they can tell what I'm going to say within the first second.
I thought the point about non-execute on home directories was good. Doesn't this mean that the person can still read/write files/docs, but not run executible files located there (or maliciously placed there)?
I have the latest version of Spoofstick (1.02 released 8/18/2004) and PivX Qwik-Fix Pro (v1.4) and the vulnerability tests positive in my up-to-date IE: a new window appears with both IE and Spoofstick reporting the site as citibank.com
By "stomped out" do you mean he removed the whole windshield from the inside, forcing it from the black goo around its sides? Trying to crack the curved glass from the outside, similar to the added strength of a curved egg, is a little different.
I don't know enough to comment authoratatively. I currently agree with those who think OpenBSD/MirOS makes the best/most secure yet highly configurable firewall/router, FreeBSD (maybe DragonFly BSD in a year) the best/fastest server, and Libranet for an inexpensive easily upgradeable Debian desktop, but I look forward to the unique features of XandrOS/Samba, Suse/YaST/Novell/Evolution and something to replace Outlook for those companies that will keep Exchange for a few more years.
What is your most recommended major programming change to the BSD's and Linux, especially for Theo de Raadt and Linus Travolds...anything from the Plan 9 OS?

I don't know if I feel sorry for this guy's website or not, since his image browser may soon gain in popularity (but maybe not via Google's search results:)

I should have read the above link from Jaywalk regarding zTrace, which states: "...thieves can even reformat the hard drive...and up pops zTrace." Admittedly vague, not mentioning if the reformat works when NTFS is used instead of FAT. And hopefully "up pops" refers to an invisible/stealth pop-up:)
Chalk one up for Absolute's ComputraceComplete over zTrace. I don't beleive Absolute's "Laptop Retriever" (possibly the same package as "Computrace Personal Edition") is able to survive *any* harddrive formats. Thanks for providing the link to the article; I didn't know that IBM sells ComputraceComplete in quantities less than 10. When I called Absolute a few months ago, they indicated "Laptop Retriever" was the only option when buying less than 10 and suggested only the link at Toshiba to avoid Canadian taxes. Now I can bookmark:

You compared apples and oranges. Sure both apples and oranges are used for some of the same reasons--combating hunger, providing nutrition and seeds to grow more, et ceterra--yet in the so-called browser war, IE and Firefox are both apples. Perhaps "fight" is a pejorative word--in this case a virtual red herring. The point is that Windows users would be safer from malicious code by using IE...to go to mozilla.org, download a better/safer browser and then set it as the default. Publicizing a competitor's software product, regardless if it's free (remember how Microsoft fought Netscape), is an offense to IE's dominance and Microsoft's reputation, not merely a defense from malicious code.

A quick browse of openXchange.org didn't reveal an Exchange replacement; please direct me to the product you refer to. Thanks : )
"I, for one" implies the person is probably defending a non-mainstream position yet is not alone.

I have a dual PC running XP Home; only one CPU is recognized in Task Manager.

"[juries]...rely on the uninformed testimony of law enforcement."
I hope juries can tell when there's a very small difference between uninformed testimony and uniformed testimony.

If the off/on codes change, make this into a USB keychain device that can be easily updated with *all* the codes.

It uses v=spf1
Is that what you meant?
Or do you want it to be v=spf1=

Another program like Ztrace is Absolute Laptop Retriever (the home-user version of their corporate Computrace program). Located in Canada: https://www.laptopretriever.com/ Direct from Toshiba (USA) $100 for 3 years: http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/adet.to?poid=2 75734&seg=HHO&rcid=-26364&ccid=1291043
