My college computer labs use DeepFreeze to restore the HDs to a preset condition on every boot, wiping out installed software, etc. You should consider looking into it, it works fine for them. Only way around it is to not boot from the HD, but from a LiveCD or something (and this can hopefully be stopped through BIOS settings... one of my friends worked around it with a CD and partitioned and dual booted Slackware as an experiment, heh heh heh).
If you choose to research this, also be sure to research cracking tools, I hear some exist, at least for outdated versions. If DeepFreeze has any sort of trial version, try to install it and see if you can make it uncrackable, if you can, since you're one of the most technically skilled people to try and do it, you might have found something useful in DeepFreeze.:)
There are probably other software packages too but I'm not too fond of crippling computers so I don't really know too much more about the subject.:)

Local escalation vulnerabilities have long been a feature of Microsoft Windows!
But seriously, that's a good article about why it's not a good idea to give other users Power User privileges. It might help with securing a system too.
...but for the application the summary talks about, I would think it would be harder to cryogenically preserve people with some types of injuries or diseases.
Someone needs to tell the DHS that telephone companies NEVER have enough equipment to handle all of the subscribers at once, because they bank on the fact that not everyone uses the phone at the same time!
Until console makers start vacuum sealing their consoles and making circuit boards out of special materials that vaporize when exposed to nitrogen, OF COURSE it can be bypassed.
The interface is only as sloppy as you make it, thanks to the right click | customize menu option.
Extensions can be used to tweak the interface further if you wish. Stylish can be used to apply styles to the interface (although I ran into problems when trying to limit the height of the toolbars, but I probably wasn't doing it right).
I don't see a "move up" button anywhere anyways. But then again I'm using 2.0 at the moment.
If Firefox seems screwy, disable all extensions using Safe-Mode and see if the problem goes away. If it does, you have a bad extension somewhere. Not Firefox's fault. This also applies to memory usage (although a large part is still due to Firefox's memory cache... which people like to refer to as a leak, despite the fact they take no steps to limit the memory cache size using about:config) and overall load time and stability.
Can anyone fine a big company a ridiculous amount for no good reason? I wanna be next!:D
Seriously, what is "information about it's Operating System" supposed to mean? We've had the APIs for forever... and I personally don't care about the internals (the idea of having to look through some millions of millions of lines of code is enough to staunch any curiosity I might have).
"If each program that made up the collection of allowed programs was 'up to scratch' and had 'everything you need',"
Considering that is impossible, the question is pretty much moot, isn't it. I am always going to find more needs for things, and chances are I'm going to need a new piece of software. Even if an OS shipped with "everything", new things are invented all the time. Maintaining a "Closed OS" to allow for new things would be difficult, and to keep it relatively up to date even more so... but then it wouldn't really be closed if new stuff kept getting added to it...
Is there standard/bootleg firmware for phones to encrypt contacts, files, and even total access? I don't have a cell phone myself but if/when I eventually get one such a feature would be nice in case I lose it, to keep my stuff private.
In such a scenario, a school could still theoretically expell a student for refusing to turn over their phone password... if they want the barrage of bad press and angry parents.

He just blocks everything except HTTP/HTTPS and FTP, so I'm stuck using Tor for anything else. >:(

Go to the command prompt.
echo Text! > text.txt:ADS
Do a DIR and you'll see the size of text.txt is 0 bytes.
The string "Text!" has ended up in an ADS stream called "ADS".
Your Window apps won't work under WINE? You should at least try if you haven't, it'll be easier than using them through a VM if it works.
If you read the fine print, you'll realize VMware server free keys expire...

And most probably don't know about USB thumb drives. Put those two together and hey! You got Portable Firefox! :)

People who use Flickr rock!
Not only does Flickr make you smell better, it also makes you more attractive.
Both are compatible, according to Firefox, which is surprising since not many extensions are. Guess Google is on the ball.
But, I have both disabled since I never really used them, so I can't easily check at the moment to see if they work.
In an unrelated note, Firefox flags both "Firefox" and "Google" as typos. Whoops.
Too late >_<
Oh well, I'll upgrade to RC3...
It'd be funny if it was one user using 59 proxies.
Ok... I don't really care about that... how long before it replaces hypodermic needles and I get to take advantage of this new tech?
This is probably why you see so many "Citation needed" notes or whole sections labeled "This section needs to define the sources for its material".
Good material is cemented by good source references.
Using autocomplete is even faster, and (I find it) more convenient.
From Run you just select the folder/file name from the list after typing a few letters, from cmd.exe you just hit tab after typing a few letters.

...of the story about the guy who found a incredible way to compress his files to nothing: he deleted them.
When he needed one, he would undelete the file he needed.
This worked fine until his hard drive started filling more and wrote over deleted files.
I bet this guy did something similar, thought his Recycle Bin was a place to store his files.
