Are all of you one-handed? Do none of you have keyboards? The Start screen and your programs aren't multple clicks a way, it is a single tap of the Windows key to get access. Then you can launch your app with a single click. You did put your most commonly used couple dozen programs right up at the front of the Start screen didn't you? And then you unpinned all the MS apps that you'll never use too right?
I've been using Win 8 at work, for about a week now, and I like it. The Start screen, combined with pinning to Taskbar, is infinitely better than endless desktop icons and a tray full of quick launch shortcuts.
Also, I'm sure I'll get an "insensitive clod" for that one-handed remark.
An Ubuntu Live CD is the answer. You can boot it up on any x86 system and use it to your heart's content. you won't be able to save anything, unless you mount your local drive and save there, or pop in a USB stick.
I'll agree that the most secure solution is not to use AirPort.
But I am not seeing the difference between having some limited do-nothing account auto-login and a few services starting at boot time. Help me understand.
I think it prefectly reasonable, given the shortcomings of the AirPort drivers. You set up a very limited account and set it to auto-login.
The other option is don't use AirPort. There are wireless USB NICs, D-Link I know for sure, that will work with OS X.
Another option, and probably the most secure, is that since the thing is so dang small, put it under your router and use a one foot cat5 cable to hook it up.
Not true. Sirius uses a highly inclined elliptical orbit that scribes a sort of figure 8, with the fat part over North America. Each satellite spends about 16hrs/day over North America. When the sat crosses the equator going south, they turn off the transmitter. As it crosses back over the equator heading north, they turn it back on. And there are always two satellites over NA at all times.
Ok. Last time I checked, Alaska was still attached to the rest of North America and there are roads too. So it appears that Google is having an issue with use of Canadian roads or perhaps ferries. However, you don't need a ferry to get to Anchorage, unless the routing preferences are whacked. I don't think it's the Canadian roads as I can map quite easily to Prince George, BC, CA.

Congratulations. You were quoted in a CNet article on the GIM Client.

Now I understand and that makes perfect sense.
:-)
Thanks for taking the time to enlighten me instead of flaming me to a crisp.
Cheers...

Oh wait, you don't.

Sirius already has a product like this, minus the stream capturing (which I don't have a use for anyway). Anyway, it's a unit called the XAct. Go Here
