Everything boots from CDROMs and DVDs these days, and nearly all computers have them installed. Most computers built in the past 10 years have DVD drives and no floppy drives.
Death to the deamoness floppy!
Malicious individuals will start building copycat sites hoping to hoodwink a public now trained to think sites like this are just 'harmless education."
Until this administration, hasn't the White House been a 100% MSFT shop? Somehow the U.S. Navy manages to stay afloat with many systems running Windows server OS. Then again the Navy can afford to have lots of people massaging/patching/rebooting the Windows boxes 24x7.
Reminds me of when I didn't use my powered-off, fully charged Thinkpad for a month. When I tried booting it, the battery was completely drained so I had to plug in the power supply.
I think the batteries can't hold a charge even if the device they support is completely off. I'd like to see if the same behavior is observed when a fully charged battery is left disconnected from the Thinkpad.
Sure the addict is dead and will never again burgle my house to pay for his fix, but what happens to his poor children? They will will grow up with no father.
And they might better off for it. Heh.
Baiting liberals is fun.
I for one hope your next attempt to install Windows is a complete failure, and that you're up all night pulling your hair out and wondering, "what am I doing wrong?" HEH
Some people could probably be trusted to own fully automatic firearms. These people will never run amok killing dozens of former co-workers but in some states we "punish" these people when we prohibit anyone from owning machine guns.
I'm glad of this.
EVERYONE thinks they are in that small minority who can drive while talking into a cell phone. So either it's illegal for everyone or for nobody.

That's called, "innovation." Better get used to it.
Why can't the manufacturers use bootable ISO9660 images? To update my LSI RAID card I have to boot to floppies? GAH!
Right on. Better than having a blackout. Or even a brownout.
Make them use swamp coolers and live in caves! But seriously, "earth sheltered" housing needs to be taken more seriously.

Yes! Obamacode is infecting our networks! It's a TRAP!

Those are expensive. I'll keep it under my lead foil hat for now.
Screw the aluminum foil hat. I'm going with a Ti alloy this time.
Muhammad dressed as a lumberjack humping a bear would have been better.
Is it true that the gubmint can track the location of my cellie even when it's off? Or do I really need to disconnect the battery?
You're right. That justifies the abuse. You inhuman PoS.
It's a damn good movie. Bruno Ganz in the man. That role too some courage.

Just the ads with Vikings in them. What's in your (meat) wallet?

Probably he didn't want to be branded a racist. And most people can't tell a price scanner from a taser.

I'm glad Trek troopers don't wear purple helmets.
Vibrations may be damped. Vibrators may be dampened.
Yeah. Convenience always trumps safety. Well, except when you want to board an airplane.

could this happen. Haven't they heard of SCA? Wouldn't that work just as well?
