Another nifty tool from AccessData that plugs nicely into the FTK is the Registry Viewer. Using the FTK you can find all the Windows registry files on the drive. The Registry Viewer (obviously) will open them and allow you to view just about any key/value including encrypted keys like the Protected Storage (Internet Explorer autofill and Outlook/Outlook Express saved passwords).
Since I enjoy tooting my own horn from time to time, the information referenced in this article was obtained by me and my co-worker (I shamelessly admit to working for WhiteCanyon) using AccessData's FTK and Registry Viewer. It was quite a bit of fun to see our results hit national T.V.:)
How exactly do you define "too much free time," I wonder. And how did you arrive at the conclusion that I have too much of it? It didn't take me more than a minute to write that response, and not more than two to write this one.
It's both a science and an art. The science of computer programming dictates that there is at least one optimal way of solving a problem that can be solved algorithmically. Sometimes the one optimal way is actually the only way. Sometimes there are many optimal solutions and it's the artist in us that decides which optimal solution to choose.
There may be many ways to build a bridge, but the artistic civil engineer will choose something cool.:)
Or a cool quick-start poster! I remember the glory days when I had an MFC Class Hierarchy poster hung on my door, for the sheer "Who Uses These Posters, Anyway?" factor.:)
I had a vacuum salesman at my house a couple of months ago. He was cleaning my carpet with some "specially formulated" foam. In an effort to amaze me, he said, "This foam is 90% air so it dries more quicklier!" I was amazed, alright.
TFA says that MS's rival in this area is shaping up to be a product called Xen. I will humbly admit I've never heard of Xen, and TFA says it has a lot of support. But isn't this VMware's market too? Not sure how much market share VMware currently has, but it's been a very solid product in my experience.
Yeah, yeah, VMware is not free (as in beer), and it is closed source (AFAIK). Nor is it built in to the OS. But I think it has strong support and probably a large customer base.
Right. The parent was just trying to say that ME was just a 3rd Edition of 98. And I believe the parent was right about uninstalling ME as quickly as possible. It may very well have been just a 3rd edition of 98, but in my experience it was far, far, FAR worse then 98 SE.
You are absolutely right. The pad is wired (and thusly powered), which does still tether you to the computer. And although the OP is mildly misleading, the point of this device is that the actual mouse does not have any wires attached to it.
To most people, the advantage of a wireless mouse is the freedom to move the mouse without worrying about what the cord is going to get snagged on. This gives users that freedom without requiring them ever to replace/recharge their batteries.
Plus it's great name exposure for IBM and RedHat (who are both very interested in such a thing). These students will come out feeling quite comfortable with IBM and RedHat products and will thus be more likely to choose them when the opportunity presents itself.
Yeah, this will only become useful when the reverse technology exists: the ability to upload an old brain image into a new brain. We'd probably want to wait, though, till the human race has evolved brains with more memory capacity.:)
This reminds me of an Asimov robot named Daneel...
As I recall from yesterday's news, one thing Netscape will give you that Firefox does not is "a toggle which allows switching between Mozilla and Microsoft's rendering engines as needed." The Best of Both Worlds(TM)
Switching to Large Icons does give me a little preview of the file, and that is indeed useful. However, it only displays the first 150 bytes or so of the file, whereas the term I'm searching for could show up well beyond that first snippet. I've found that I can hit F4 in the preview pane to search, but then didn't I just barely run a search? Search once to find the file, search twice to find the word(s) you were looking for.

Hear, hear! People need to figure out how to use cruise control, IMHO.
So can they attach them to sharks' heads yet?

What's really ironic (or is it just coincidental?) is the fact that today I'm wearing my brand new "Classically Trained" t-shirt.
:)
I just bought it yesterday! What are the chances?
I would mod your comment as funny, but alas, I am powerless to do so. That was a real zinger and it made me smile.
I suppose that by your definition, I definitly have too much free time, seeing as this makes twice that I have replied to an anonymous coward today.

Are you sure you know the meaning of the word "literally"? Your mouse literally caught fire? I hope you used it to roast s'mores or something. :)
And a comma is not the same thing as a semi-colon. ;)

I want a 1 page picture.

Free upgrade from 4.5 to 5.0? How can I get this? I don't see it on their site anywhere. Do I need to contact them? Thanks!

I'm getting 159 KB/sec. Seems to be working fine so far. :)

You have to admit, though, StarCraft is still a lot of fun. IMHO. :)
Talk about slow! :|

They obviously haven't heard of saberology. Silly sots. :)

I haven't been able to connect to the site yet, but I'm wondering how closely it resembles the crime map view in SimCity. :)
Ah, what a great game...

I believe the "cluttered Yahoo-like interface" is somewhat popular.
:)
Google is still "clean and white" if you leave the "/ig" off the end of the URL.
And yes, you can make it what you want.
