I keep an old dedicated machine for this purpose including a power switched SATA bay to help bypass the ATA password problem.

I though RAID 5 was 2 blocks XOR'd for parity to a 3rd block regardless of how many drives are in the array. Therefore 1 block write only requires 2 blocks read (2 data) and a 2 block write minimum(1 xor & 1 data), 3 block maximum(1 xor & 2 data). RAID 6 increases the XOR storage block to another drive equals a 4 block maximum. Subsequent blocks of data and xor(s) are rotated through the drive set so that parity blocks are never aligned to a single drive (RAID 3).
It doesn't matter how you boot, CD, ROM, Write Protected Disk...Now in the internet age, if your machine is vulnerable you will reboot clean and be re-infected. We need to write better software.
No problem, I will drop one in your mailbox or maybe just leave a USB flash drive on your driveway. You trust me er I mean local home town bank labeled CD right? (/sarcasm)
We do need to BUILD the TRUST up with these CA's. I would not have trusted DigiNotar if I knew they were running vulnerable weak password Windows boxes. I do agree that self-signed certs are just as secure, but when dealing with unknowns on the Internet we need the trust to start somewhere. I think there are already way too many certs in my browser and they are already valid until 2040! Yikes.
I use opendns because it allows me to manually refresh the cache (opendns.com/cache) when I am making name server changes on my domains. Then I know immediately if the changes are correct and will propagate to the rest of the internet eventually.
I don't understand why legacy 16 bit code cannot be loaded on demand from a disk or flash for legacy boot while using new protected mode boot for a modern OS. Those who need the old code for compatibility simply turn it on in the bios menu.
Use a promise IDE card for your hard drives before tearing down the old system. Boot the new system with hard drives on the promise card and install your drivers. Lastly pull the promise card and plug into the on-board ide.

I believe that escrow is the only way the programmers will ever be comfortable that their code will not be divulged.
Write the software. Place the source in escrow with the restriction that a different phase of the licensing has now been entered once the source has been removed from escrow.
This alerts the developers that the source has or is going to be accessed and they are no longer going to be doing development/maintenance work on this project. It also gives both parties incentive to work things out as the developer would rather not have the source exposed, therefore the developer should be motivated to please the customer.

Intel SSDToolbox Secure Erase changes the AES key for the entire SSD. Effectively wiping the drive quickly and easily.

Not exactly what you are looking for in a speed test, but there is some very interesting data in this test.

Co-processors are from the OLD 286/386/486 days. All Pentiums and Celerons have included math-co's.
Does anyone have a working EFI test PC yet?

Works every time.
Absolutely! I am generally more worried about getting rear ended because I can stop so fast.
