Sony had it in a $500 camcorder for a few months before being forced to take it off the market because people were using it to film their neighbors screwing... through their neighbor's walls...
So you'll still need to pony up a few grand for that, sorry.
I don't know WTF alt-ctrl-del does on YOUR Linux box, but on all of mine, it brings up a menu. Killing X instead of bringing up a menu seems like harm done, to me.
Or are you a Windows-only poser trying to act like you know WTF you're talking about?
And you're sure to be flamed for your comment. That's sad, as you make a very valid point. If people valued their data, their systems, and their time, they would take precautions to prevent infection in the first place.
If the cure truly is worse than the infection, they really can only avoid that cure until it is forced on them. That will happen, one day, I hope.
Me? I keep online backups across multiple operating systems, as well as weekly-updated offline backups. If I ever do get infected, only a portion of my network is vulnerable to that infection, and all of my data is safe. I also run the appropriate security software on all of my Windows, Mac, Linux, and BlackBerry devices.
tl;dr: If you can nuke an infected system, I'm all for it, because I'm not a fucking moron.

If it was displaying XXX graphics, I doubt you'd be distracted by ANYTHING else going on.
We've become french. This is our white flag.
Do the Underhanded C Contest and Obfuscated C Contest ring any bells?
Even review of every line isn't enough. But it's better than what closed source can offer.
Me too... unless it's at my hand...
The LHC will not destroy the world; and if it does, it'll be over before you knew it started. No worries, either way.
There, fixed that for ya.

The RIAA and MPAA are trying to combat piracy.
I've had a few checkups to get the wife to STFU, but that's it since I became a legal adult. It's really not that hard.
And I'm sure the BETA came out AFTER that, right?
First, it learned that 90% of mail is spam. Then, it got lazy. Now, it just stamps everything.
