I carry a bootable 1gb USB drive (which is nearly full... should've gone for at least 2gb, maybe 4gb). I have Damn Small Linux (the embedded version) on it at the moment but I had a working BartPE too at one point.
I don't typically boot off of it though. Usually just launch the many Windows tools I keep on it. Although DSL Embedded comes packaged with qemu for both Windows and Linux along with respective batch files for each OS to launch qemu with the bootable DSL as the guest os... which is really neat.:)
Pretty much. It's also sometimes more specifically used to describe Linux distros you can download and burn to a CD and then boot off of... sort of a try before you install to the HD dealie. Not that you HAVE to install to the HD. In this case, LiveCDs can be useful for computer recovery.
I have to use a Knoppix LiveCD every time I have to reinstall Windows, which will erase grub, for instance. From there I can reinstall grub and regain my triple-boot-ability.
As a Christian I have to disagree with you. The Old Testament was written for the Israelites as a religious handbook on God, not a science textbook. Similarly, the New Testament was written for us as a book about Jesus, not about science.
When viewed in this context, I find evolution etc entirely feasible. For example, there is no reason for God to tell the technical aspects of the creation in Genesis, since the Bible is not a technical book. It merely affirms to the Israelites (and us) that God was ultimately responsible for everything we see around us. My own personal theory is that God created evolution. I find this model much more complex and more a proof of God's power than simply saying he had to will everything into existence over several days, and that he needed to rest at the end of it* because he was tired.
* I'm sure that's symbolism for something, just not sure what.
Games and video doesn't work well over VNC.:)
Audio doesn't work too well unless you have a very good connection. I also haven't found any existing VNC clients that support audio... which seems kinda odd.
So what you're saying is, they wouldn't have had to train their employees because everyone knows Windows already, while not many people know Linux... ok... so then they replace Windows with Linux... whoops!
Still, if designed and created properly, ANY system can theoretically be used with minimal if any training.
I like to imagine them discussing this excitedly with their legal teams, dollar signs in their eyes, only to be crestfallen as the lawyers break the news that you can't sue the Internet because it isn't the property of any one person or group.
THEORETICALLY it would be able to run on the Vista RCs (in which the API was frozen) but of course there's no way to know for sure until someone tries...
Myself, I'm off to enjoy the excellent games made by the excellent people at Valve, automatically updated by the excellent automatic patching system Steam provides. Even if you ignore the convenience of the patches, the built-in IM and server browser capabilities, and the media and game tool content, the fact that similar services are springing up here and there has to mean Valve did SOMETHING right.
You go shuffle your CDs around and Google for patches, finding 5 different ones and, in some cases, wondering which patch is the latest and the appropriate one for your PC.
Myself, I'll just take my game collection (did I mention how excellent these games are?) from PC to PC using only my Steam username and password.
But, you hang on to your CDs and patches, and your closed-minded hatred of Valve. I'm going to go have some fun in City 17, or Office, or Venice, or somewhere else fun. Ta ta.
Ignoring the sheer idiocy of that statement... I bet most students would remove any bulletproof cover or lining. I know MY books are heavy enough as they are already!
I don't understand how, but installing SP2 over a fresh SP0 install of XP causes the boot process to slow down to nothing compared to SP0's boot time, but if you slipstream SP2 onto an install CD and install from there, the boot process is now just as fast as SP0's. WTF? I still don't get how such an improvement is possible, but I'm swearing by slipstreaming now...
Plus it's convenient, since you have most of the updates already (By most I mean you'll only find 70 some items on Windows Update instead of 200).
My college uses Deep Freeze. One of the CS seniors, Jon, last year worked around it (he got around the bios protections against booting from a CD) and repartitioned the hard drive of one of the computers and installed Slackware as a prank. He kept the Windows parititon intact, but the poor ITS guy (a fellow CS senior) went ahead and had to redo everything from scratch. He was mad when Jon told him it was him.:D

Last time I checked, Crest's major product was TOOTHPASTE.

Wrong, they take donations and use THAT to buy the consoles.

My sentiments exactly. I'd give you a mod point if I had one.
Here's a good hard drive one.

This is OLD OLD OLD news. I think this was NEW news a month ago, or at the best a few weeks. SearchMash was up that long ago, I'm sure of it.
It helps if you spell it right (Lynx, as in the cat) but you're right, the form doesn't submit right or something.

I say everyone on that list should be SHOT.
Have it your way.

No files were uploaded to Wikipedia. An external link was added... that was all.
So are my term papers.
If you're concerned about legal issues, you could find some way to notify them anonymously and untraceably.
Can't sue what you can't name...

I agree. Why can't some of these features be off-loaded into extensions? I mean, many of these features were originally seen in extensions anyway...
It would be nice if the spell checker could have a toggle to check the ENTIRE web page. Would be useful when I'm making web pages.
Slipstream SP2 into your installation CD.

Err... ideally you'd want to find your new job BEFORE quitting your old one...
