Looking at the Windows based terminal sat on my desk XP embedded will fit on a 256MB drive as long as it's compressed. That gives you the bare bones of XP, Internet Explorer and an RDP client leaving 10MB or so to fit something else in.
If the filter gets flushed to disk (maybe you apply an update to something), the malware gets fulshed too.
Plus Microsoft provide a nice API to EWF so if the malware author wants to, all he has to do is load the EWF dll and make a single call and he's in there forever!
Even if the malware isn't flushed there's nothing to prevent you picking it up again next boot.
There was a neat version of Scrabble many years ago on the ZX Spectrum. (3.5 MHz Z80 CPU 48KB memory)
You'd have to try really hard to make Scrabble taxing for a PC to run.
It would raise awareness, but not in a good way. Developers don't want another platform to support. It's supposed to be just like Windows. The standing advice from the Wine devs is if you find something that doesn't behave like Windows don't code round it, report a Wine bug instead.
It's great if Wine gets to a point where developers will entertain supporting it but anything that suggests you have to do anything special to run under Wine or that apps without a Wine logo won't work would be counter productive.
And of course such a program would be pointless anyway. If 'Designed For Windows' apps don't work under Wine then Wine itself has failed its objective.
Nevermind that Nintendo just produced the most energy efficient game console in the history of game consoles. Only handhelds use less power than the Wii.
That's true but then they go and spoil it by requiring the Wii to be left on standby if you want the mail & Mii moving features to work.
Firearms are not routinely used for law enforcement in the UK. However some new cameras are fitted with a PA system to give criminals a damn good telling-off.
They were more than happy to sell into education at huge discounts. The technical collage I was at was quite pleased with the IIRC £250 it paid for each of the A310s in the lab. RRP was about a grand.
I agree they showed no interest at all in selling to Joe Public though.
would make the (obligatory) 16k RAM expansion wobble, thus giving you a user friendly hard reset.
Possibly this advice arrives a little late, but remove the casing from the RAM pack. That way it just dangles from the expansion port without touching the surface the ZX81 is sitting on. Pretty much cures RAM pack wobble.
Wires? Wires! Surely you mean interconnects. Wires make your music sound cold and harsh. Interconnects are much better, but remember you need to break them in first by playing white noise through them for a fortnight.
Uh, you do know it's not a prequel in the Lucas sense don't you? The Hobbit was written first. They just happened to film the sequels first (More $$ I guess).
On Vista you'd get a UAC prompt for trying to write to C:\,
Not quite true. You'd get one UAC up front when starting the installer. From then on the installer is off free to do whatever it likes.
Requiring admin privs just to play a game is dumb. But they are necessary if you want to install a game and have it accessible by any users other than yourself.
UAC wouldn't save you here but AFAIK Vista has a mechanism for automagically replacing systems files when you trash them.
Even if they do there's no guarantee they'll be able to read them. More than a few truckers in the UK have driven over from Europe and they're the ones most likely to be using sat nav. In some of the more persistent trouble spots local authorities have installed signs in Polish.

"32-bit" is a completely meaningless term in this context, just so you know.
I'll reinforce that statement by mentioning the 64-bit Atari Jaguar.

No no no no!
EWF != malware protection.
If the filter gets flushed to disk (maybe you apply an update to something), the malware gets fulshed too. Plus Microsoft provide a nice API to EWF so if the malware author wants to, all he has to do is load the EWF dll and make a single call and he's in there forever!

At school many years ago we went to visit a plant that produced the stuff. Even the grass outside the building was covered in white.

The post I was responding to started with 'In Britain' ;-)
No, it was to do with safety. The 70mph limit was introduced in to 60's after whole string of accidents.
It was briefly dropped to 50mph during the oil crisis.
No but I live there. ;-)
The rip-off garage I pass in Marlborough Wilts has petrol at 122.9 and diesel at a mental 135.9
I wish! £1.20 and climbing...
They're in the business of scaring people into buying subscriptions to their service.
If they were honest they'd be saying "Hey use Linux/OSX and you won't need to pay for our crappy products" but that's somewhat unlikely.

Does anyone actually pay for it? I've only ever seen it as part of the shovelware you have to remove from a new computer.
Don't forget you need to twiddle your wooden knob for a week to break it in first.
Otherwise it just sounds rubbish.
You know you just described Windows CE there :)

This somewhat similar device should suit your coke smuggling requirements. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7234544.stm

The BBC also persecutes people in the UK who it feels may be 'stealing' their content (even though they may not have a TV).
You get a fine for watching TV without a licence but calling it persecution is a bit strong. :P
