This has different classes of erasing, even the legendary Guttman Wipe and it’s completely FREE.

It’s a linux based bootable Floppy/CD that has different kinds of Wipes, it is very easy to use, all you do is run the program, put in a floppy, let it write to the floppy and then boot the computer off the floppy. Once you boot to you can choose what kind of wipe by pressing m, once you choose you can just start by pressing F10.

The main use of this program is not for an emergency, but for when you are selling or throwing out a computer that has your personal data on it. It is probably a bit overkill for that, probably as long as you over-write the whole drive once no one will get the information unless they have special equipment. But everybody likes overkill anyway, just in case. Physical destruction is probably the best policy in an emergency. If you were really doing anything to secretive you should probably keep everything encrypted initially (using something like TrueCrypt) from the start anyway, then if someone steals your computer they won’t have your info, unless they crack the encryption.

In the art of intrusion, some guys saved their asses by nuking their harddrive a few days before they got busted. Good utility if you plan on pulling something similar. This utility should be called “Self-important Paranoid Fantasy Enhancer”.

I don’t see why you can’t just use a very large electromagnet on max settings and pass it over your HDD(s) a couple of times? You can create an electromagnet with supplies from home depot, and it will erase information off your computer with the quickness. The DOD use such devices, although they refer to them as degausers. There is some sort of rule of thumb for the minimum amount of flux the magnetic field has to induce to provide the erasing results, but as long as you make the magnet strong enough, it will work. And by powerful I do not mean super powerful, you could actually rig it so that you can run it off a car battery incase the feds knock down your door with a l33t battering ram.

You can also erase your HDD without software in three easy steps:
1) Remove HDD from case.
2) Immerse HDD in tub full of water.
3) ROTF LMAO!!!
Errr… there would still be data on the disk. The sledge and or even a bonfire would work better.

The Platform Independant version that supports PPC’s has come in the most useful way. The people who refuse to update their computers due to “software conflictions” and “hardware” problems are the most gullable to believe that thir computer just fried on its own. Anyways, the PPC version is supported by any platform.

All CSS tags in one page… Useful, if you can’t remember. Very useful especially for those of us who don’t rely heavily on dreamweaver. It’s a handy reference… but their support matrix needs a legend — it’s not clear what’s supported and what’s not.

An all on one page? Not exactly. Looks like about 100 pages. I wish I could find an easy to read “all-in-one-page” CSS properties page, with examples - where you could save it offline as a single HTML file and refer to it offline as a reference.

If you’re beating your head against the wall with some CSS that isn’t working, use the w3c validator on your CSS. In a lot of cases, you’ve made a typo or some other form of invalid syntax, and the browser is just dealing with it silently. Often times something is spelled wrong and you’ll pull your hair out messing around with various tags before you realize a simple mistake.

Here are 25 ways we humans show we can’t ever be satisfied with the “usual” ways of preparing, cooking and even eating our food. Make it yourself. Do it yourself. Hack it yourself. There’s something for everyone here… but how exacatly does this qualify as “hacking”?

Just one request: all you amateur chefs keep your revolutionary ideas to yourselves. Or at least have full disclosure posted with your recipes (e.g. “I have no freakin’ clue what tastes good to anybody else, but this is what my unrefined taste buds enjoy.”)

Generates job titles that basically sound like the guy in Office Space who had “people skills”. Make them your e-mail sig. Enjoy!

Several of those titles exist as real positions at certain companies. I clicked on this thing for a while and it hasn’t yet generated a title that I couldn’t imagine running into somewhere… with maybe the weirdest ones being something you’d hear someone use to describe themselves at a trade show to sound extra important… even “Future Mobility Assistant” sounds like it’s really something…

This one dude once handed me his business card and it said he was a Transportation Infrastructure Engineer, turns out he was a taxi driver. This must be what HR uses where I work. I wondered who dreamed up those stupid meaningless titles.

Some ‘unreal’ titiles:

• Direct Directives Director - This is definitely a government job, maybe at the Pentagon.
• Customer Paradigm Specialist - Something high paying in marketing
• Return Usability Director - Shrinkwrap engineer?
• Customer Brand Orchestrator
• Investor Directives Director
• Legacy Identity Designer - Presumably in some division of the witness protection program
• Senior Mobility Facilitator - Resthome spongebath guy
• Internal Directives Technician - Amateur Psychotherapist
• Chief Quality Assistant - Lovechild of Michael Eisner and a Native American woman

Here’s another one at Dack’s generator. It’s the original bullshit generator but it has more to do with responsibilities and actions, rather than job titles. It’s like 90’s all over again.

Cube toys and random job-title generator! offers another version. As if cubicles themselves weren’t wonderful enough, here’s toys to enjoy. Plus, generate random job titles to go with your random place in the stable.

Some of them are more useful then others but definently worth a look. A few examples like:

• Force users to press Ctrl-Alt-Delete to Logon
• Fix your Slow XP and 98 Network
• How to Convert a FAT Partition to NTFS
• Copy Files and Folders to CD
• Create a Password Reset Disk

Although it has tons a few repeats and dead links, it has quite a few tips that general users would benefit from. However, some mods/tweaks MAY screw up your system so modify at your own risk!

A website with tons of information of why we should all stop using IE. Useful for friends who seem unconvinced that IE is evil. Well… at least they have a reason.. unlike antifirefox.com lol.

The Mozilla Foundation and Opera Software should devote an entire section of their website to help demonstrate how Evil IE really is. Why have they did not come up with the concept yet. They should have done this before to kick start THE second great browsers war.

I personally use Firefox (and love it), but I don’t think there’s a need for this site. IE can be locked down (almost) just as tight as Firefox, and people have personal preferences (although I realize that most only use it because it comes with Windows). Frankly I like having it being so widely used. It makes it more appealing to exploit, thus keeping me safer. If the internet switched to Firefox, Firefox will get targetted by attacks, and I’d rather not have that.

I would very seriously doubt that anyone will care about this after IE7 is released. The only thing that the end user would care about here is tabbed browsing, which IE7 should be much better at after Beta 2 (there is very little in there right now, the really compelling features vs. Firefox will not be there until Beta 2).

What is IE good for? Windows updates.. Wow.. Impressive! Look, firefox has patched up alot of what IE isn’t patched up with already. That’s why you don’t see IE exploits working on firefox as well. It’s not that IE is exploited because its popular, but because its extremely vulnerable. Try finding an exploit on IE, you’ll find hundreds.

Look at each and every one of those exploits and tell me if it can be modified to work with firefox.. You won’t find any. If your thinking that IE7 will be more safe, yea it will be a bit more safe, but not as safe as firefox, plus IE7 is just a copycat of alot of features from firefox and other web browsers(For example, tabbed browsing). Not only all of this, but firefox has hundreds of great extensions. The more people that switch to firefox, the more great extensions there will be to come.

It is pretty cool though, and the movement seems pretty fluid. The way the robots legs were bent and able to jog/run, wow. I am glad that they finally got the running motion down. Give him a gun and infradred and now we are talking terminator. I like the ASIMO robot run. I hope this other robot can run soon because it looks much more intimidating.

If the 60 second version is too long for you, watch the 30 second cut! Yeah the video is pretty creepy, I was surprised the man had a reaction other than “oh look at the wonderful happy robot” for a commercial that’s supposed to show us how great Honda is. It wasn’t quite a full stride run, but it was enough to be a challenge. I think the last part is pretty funny were a kid about the same height is trying to take it’s picture, but ASIMO keeps backing up on him.

It would have been better if ASIMO had bitch slapped the kid with the camera. Should have drop kicked that kid in the face for taking pictures like a moron. I think the robot should have pulled a three stooges, poked the kid in the eye, and ran off. In any case, that robot should learn to punch kids with cameras.

BTW I’ve found a way to get the clip:

1. Use IE to load the website and find run60sec.flv from the Temporary Internet files folder later.
2. Go and get flv_player to download the FLV player. Install it to your system and off you go.

I’m using firefox but this time I want to thank IE. Anyone has any idea how to get it off firefox instead?

This site is so cool that it covers all of the useful extensions a human can have in his Firefox. Worth a look!! This has many extensions I love that I didn’t know about. Why aren’t some of these on the Mozilla Extension site? It looks like not all the extensions are compatable with the current version of firefox.

I’ve been using Mozilla FireFox almost exclusively now for over a year. As I’ve been using it, I’ve run across a number of really handy extensions that I feel really turn it into a real powerhouse. I use it not only to surf the web but, I use it to help in my job, check my e-mail (GMail), and read my RSS feeds.

Wink is a Tutorial and Presentation creation software, primarily aimed at creating tutorials on how to use software (like a tutor for MS-Word/Excel etc) for both Windows and Linux. Using Wink you can capture screenshots, add explanations boxes, buttons, titles etc and generate a highly effective flash tutorial for your users. And it’s Free.

I’ve heard of other products but they all cost money…too much money. and having it cross-platform is the cherry on top!

This has to be the easiest way to get around the WGA check, and you can do within Internet Explorer. It’s great that MS gives you a way to get around their own devices.

Someone bothered to come up with javascript:void(window.g_sDisableWGACheck=’all’) when you can simply disable WGA itself… Just turn it off in the manage add-ons thing. But rather then ignoring the nag bubble you should click on it (the bubble not the icon) and it will never come up again. No need for elaborate scripts or registry hacks.

To be more accurate, they are redesigning it. It will be back, probably more difficult to bypass. They didnt scrap WGA as far as I am aware, they just told the developers to go back to the drawing board and make a better version.
