    You can access your hd and view all its files under the NTFS format. A program called captive NTFS, I forget where it's listed, will allow you to write to them also. Thus giving you a hd to save things to. If you're interested in learning about doing a lot of things with knoppix, I definately recommend picking up "Knoppix Hacks" by Kyle Rankin. Has 100 tips for both the casual user (like me and you) to people who needs it for emergency purposes inlcuding how to setup knoppix as an emergency webserver, router, etc. Also, tips for backing up and reformatting are included. As a matter of fact, I recently used it to 'shred' my hard drive to prepare it for a reinstallation of windows. It can come in very handy if you know how to use it properly.

    The slow speeds are because of your computer's speed. I can load it in about 5 mins tops.

    Knowing it is a live cd (i.e. doesn't load from the hard drive), any files you create, unless saved onto a floppy or thumbdrive will be deleted upon restart. You should've done your research and experimented with it before you wrote an entire paper on it just to find out it would disapppear.

  6. Re:ipod transmitters don't have ANY range.. on An FM Broadcast Transmitter For Your Home · · Score: 1

    I saw a hack on TSS that showed you how to extend the range of the iPod. Take something sharp, knife maybe, and pop off the top of the device, revealing the two inch wire beneath. Extend that wire out and you're good to go.

    Assuming there are some sort of speed increases with the increase in capacity, it shouldn't take that much longer.

    As long as it doesn't get too hot, it should be alright. Also, the space between the heater and tank is a factor.

    I love the idea of the glasses with HUDs and microphones. One day, it will be normal to have these features. Several years down the road.

    The programs are so sophisticated they change frequently and become impossible to eradicate.

    With the right programs, they won't come around.

    Also, there goes IE. So many ways to be taken over by spyware from IE depending on the user.

    It's just the American government trying to prevent people from doing something very hard to do.
