We have tried this approach at my company. We were tasked to destroy a stick with sensitive data (the requester did not believe in formatting).
It was not easy! The chip itself was quite a hardy one and we had to use a stationary drill to get it done. I am afraid the capturing act will be very swift and disallowing of any such an activity.
Lord Farquaad: I've tried to be fair to you creatures, now my patience has reached it's end! Tell me or I'll... Gingerbread Man: NO! Not the buttons! Not my gumdrop buttons! Lord Farquaad: Alright then! Who's hiding them? Gingerbread Man: Ok. I'll tell you. Do you know... the muffin man?
Brown is a new White and MS has Zune to prove it!
But seriously, I always was perplexed by brown Ubuntu background. With so many arrows in the back of Zune... Or was it Shuttleworth first and MS a copycat?
Why, it does!
I like my systems text-only, thank you very much. All Linux Live CDs known to me insist on installing all that clickity-click crap. Then I have to spend hours removing all traces of X11 and such.
Commodore...Pfft!
I had to wait for rusty IBM 2314 spin-up for 40 minutes, you insensitive clod!
And it was a respectable Thermador fridge-sized thing, not your desktop thingy!
And it had a separate fridge-size controller with many blinking lights!
How many blinking lights your Commodore has? Eh? Eh?
We've been there with audio already. And with "full" modems. And with printing PCL/PS engines (remoted on big printers).
As soon as CPU could handle it, the add-on cards will almost disappear (except for hi- and pro- end applications).
I think multi-core CPUs will start to achieve that level in 2009. Essentially, they do it already but for the hi-$$$$.
All modern OSes suck in boot time.
CP/M was probably OK but my Zilog-based PC had floppies only so it sucked too.
MS-DOS 3.0 was up and running in 1-2 seconds (assuming you had a hard drive and empty config.sys and autexec.bat).
Then MS rewrote DOS in that punky and slow new language "C" and since then everything went down. The next thing you see is that HIGHMEM.SYS driver taking your precious memory out of 640KB for the promise of semi-useless XMS memory for overlays. Oh well...
Now my kernel sits during boot on 4GB RAM looking for un-present USB devices and waiting for eth0 to figure out DHCP.
I guess Bill Gates was right and 640KB is right amount for everybody so OS would not get confused with all those amounts of bits laying around.
How fucking dare anyone out there make fun of RMS after all he has been through.!
He lost his aunt, he went through a divorce. He had two fuckin kids.
His husband turned out to be a user, a cheater, and now he's going through a custody battle. All you people care about is... readers and making money off of him.
HE'S A HUMAN! (ah! ooh!) What you don't realize is that RMS is making you all this money and all you do is write a bunch of crap about him.
He hasn't performed on stage in years. His song is called "give me more" for a reason because all you people want is MORE! MORE-MORE, MORE: MORE!.
LEAVE HIM ALONE! You are lucky he even performed for you BASTARDS!
LEAVE RMS ALONE!...Please.
ESR talked about professionalism and said if RMS was a professional he would've pulled it off no matter what.
Speaking of professionalism, when is it professional to publicly bash someone who is going through a hard time.
Leave RMS Alone Please... !
Leave RMS Spears alone!...right now!...I mean it.!
Anyone that has a problem with him you deal with me, because he is not well right now.
LEAVE HIM ALONE!

As everybody knows, RMS has a mastery in one-inch punch.
Shame on you, astroturfers.

Why it's so?
$5 wrench is a perfect password-extraction device in experienced hands.
With all appropriate kicking and screaming, of course.
Just wait for their torture chambers...
You know, possibility of plausible deniability can and will be cross-checked and verified over there.

So why then do you clutter the Internet with your blurbs? If you don't care, just pass along. This topic was obviously not for you.
Sight...
Well, add my 3-d point. The same story here: port > 1024 == no attacks. Parable!
C++ kiddo became old-fashioned?! I'm getting old :(
It goes to code haven.
We might even get some money from those capitalist closed-joke pigs.
He is a genius!
I wish that guy in our R&D team (I would watch the results from a far away bunker, though).
Win3.1 did not have BSOD! Everything would just freeze and you had to do three-finger salute.

But sometimes it contains nice #ffffff pixels! But I agree, it's very compressible anyway. RLE compression? ;)

I am not even sure that with 4GB RAM 32-bit OS will ever try to use swap. Any kernel gurus?
Does not compute: Stallman != Tuxedo; Tux != Beard;
Here's mine complete cry:
