The article linked in the email originally claimed that BleachBit could import the data included in CCleaner. The authors of the article have since corrected their mistake: BleachBit only imports winapp2.ini data.
Please inform Louise Kinane that the article she based her request on has been changed; the authors of the article were mistaken, and her complaint doesn't actually apply.
Mindblowing statement: Your hands don't need to be close to each other for you to type. So try this: Take two keyboards you like (If there is a compact model, get one of those for your left hand), and place both on the desk, side-by-side. Your left hand goes on the left keyboard, and your right hand goes on the right keyboard. Angle the keyboards so that you're comfortable typing. ~~TaDa~~ Added bonus: Tell your boss that you've doubled your productivity.
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the Metroid secret worlds. By exploiting a glitch involving the doors, you could get past some walls and ceilings. Fans discovered some very strange areas. There was discussion years ago whether the secret worlds were inserted intentionally, but disassembling the game revealed that it was just non-map data being loaded by the game in areas outside the intended path.

The LCD panel itself is a (mostly) transparent piece of glass. Put a diffusion filter over one side and hold it up to a light source. See also: LCD projection panels. Putting a LCD projection panel, with a diffusion filter, on top of a sufficiently bright overhead projector (we won't be projecting, just using it as a light source (backlight)) would also suffice for sunlight viewing.
Take any modern LCD, and remove the case. The panel itself is clear with a stack of filters behind it to even out the backlight (look for panels that won't have wires obscuring the back. Ask for advice at the Lumenlab forums.). All you need to do is remove any opaque layers. Hold up the panel toward the sun so that the sun shines through the filters, acting as the backlight. You needn't remove the original backlight, so the display can still be used in darker environments.
In short, use the sun as the backlight for an LCD panel.
If your actual fingers don't work, then make your own out of play-dough or other materials. The success rates with spoofing systems may be better than with your real finger. Also consider that the problem is compounded by the fact that their original copy of your fingerprint may also be poorly defined.
Are your other fingers equally poorly defined? Compare them to each other (and other people's as a control group) to see if one of your fingers works better (hopefully your middle finger for added irony). Then get the company to switch to your new finger.
You could convert a laptop keyboard for use with desktop computers. The person in that article made it harder on himself by not matchnig up the rows and columns of the keyboard with the controller.
Get yourself 4x 4-channel security system PCI cards (or 2x 8-ch, if they support high enough framerates, or a 16-ch..., or any combination...) and put them in a powerful computer with a good graphics card. All you need to do is have sixteen instances of media players (tiled across the screen) running simultaneously.
Security systems even use BNC by default!
Grab a Pringles can or buy/make a yagi antenna. Get a laptop with netstumbler or kismet on it, and watch the signal strength graph as you point the antenna around.

Your best bet as far as wiring goes is to cut apart an extra USB cable. The wires are color coded to correspond to pin numbers.
Referencing your orininal connector and getting pin numbers simply connect the following pins to wire colors:
1-red
2-white
3-green
4-black
(ignore the shielding on the USB cable or connect it to ground (pin 4))
From the Linux NFS-HOWTO at http://nfs.sourceforge.net/nfs-howto/
"There are other systems that provide similar functionality to NFS. Samba (http://www.samba.org) provides file services to Windows clients. The Andrew File System from IBM (http://www.transarc.com/Product/EFS/AFS/index.htm l), recently open-sourced, provides a file sharing mechanism with some additional security and performance features. The Coda File System (http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/) is still in development as of this writing but is designed to work well with disconnected clients. Many of the features of the Andrew and Coda file systems are slated for inclusion in the next version of NFS (Version 4) (http://www.nfsv4.org). The advantage of NFS today is that it is mature, standard, well understood, and supported robustly across a variety of platforms.
Shouldn't GNU Radio be able to do everything and more? Given the right software decoders, you could capture with whatever HDTV encryption, and since it's open source, if the broadcast flag is included (it's not) you could just remove the detection code.
The simplest, easiest and cheapest method is to encode your GPS data in a text subtitle format.
For example, srt looks like this:
1
00:00:06,070 --> 00:00:08,070
Hello.
The subtitles can be added in post processing, or just accompting the video file.
Meters High School (where I am a student) got over a hundred, basically identical, donated computers. The only problem was that the hard drives are blank (and wiped). I volunteered to help. Since my method was of direct hard drive-to-hard drive copying was so superior to other method of installing the OS and software from CD's, the teacher in charge gave me a couple computers as payment.
Thin Film Transistor screens, like those found on the GameBoy Color/Advance/SP thrive (if you can get around the glare) in high light conditions, as do a good number of LCD screens.
I have a 333MHz P2 (overclocked to 416) with 640 Mb of RAM. It has a GeForce FX 5200 128 Mb.
It runs C&C Generals: Zero Hour just fine.
It runs Halo just fine.
The system "requirements" are just a suggestion of a typical system that works for the developers.
Roman numerals are the same in different languages because they origionated from the Roman language.
Example: MMIV is the current year.
The arabic numerals that we use today became standard mostly because of the need to trade currency. If there was a standardized number system, conversions would be easier. Arabic numerals were also superior to Roman numerals in that they could represent the number we know as "zero." (think why we need to all use metric in Science)
Example: 2004 is the current year.
One good source isn't a book at all: The source code for the Linux kernel. You could also take a look at FreeBSD and any other open source OS.
Looking at something that works should give you an idea of what you need to do in your own OS.
Just look at the power ratings printed on the back of the devices you are considering. If you need a 200 watt power supply for your components, keep in mind that the supply will need to draw more than that to compensate for the AC-DC conversion.
I think you would be much better off with a laptop. The things are built for power effeciency! If you are skilled enough with electronics, you could replace the AC adaptor with a voltage regulator connected to your house's batteries. DC-DC conversion is MUCH more effecient than AC-DC.
Why convert from DC (batteries/solar panel) to AC (computer power supply) BACK to DC (computer's internals)?

Bury the text file in search engine results by having a larger on-line presence. Write a blog, submit posts everywhere. Drown it in noise.

A similar glitch was found for Metroid 2. http://m2sw.zophar.net/

Thus begins the Cold War with China.

...Or you could just go with Linux.
Just buy a UPS to allow your (screwed up (use Linux!)) operating system shut down.
