  1. Then you need to have "File and Printer Sharing" enabled. Then you right-click on a disk/partition/folder and select "Properties". Then you can select to share it.

     

    Then on the other computer, you open My Computer, select the Tools menu and choose "Map network drive..."

  2. An interesting thing with the PlayStation 3 is that it will have the Cell processor.

     

    As far as I know, it will be expensive, and cost like $600.

     

    I heard that the PS3 is done, but it is delayed because Sony had to put DRM crap on it.

     

    Death to DRM and copy protection crap.

  3. So are we saying that we are not really sure about this if we have to use Eraser? Does the manufacturer have any comments? Would CCleaner withstand a forensics scan using Ensure, which US border agents now use?

     

    CCleaner wasn't originally designed for secure deletion. It was designed to clean out old crap (CCleaner = Crap Cleaner). Later the secure deletion feature was added but it is a recent addition and should be considered a bonus feature.

    Eraser on the other hand, was crafted and dedicated solely for the purpose of secure file deletion. Its developers and userbase is people interested secure file deletion. Since it is open source, its probably been inspected by several people to make sure the secure deletion implemention works good.

     

    If you interested in file wiping, you might want to read;

  4. My personal belief is that MySpace is the devil.

     

    I heard that LiveJournal had similar things.

     

    And that on MySpace or LiveJournal, an advertiser used an security exploit in Flash to install spyware/adware.

     

    They infect millions of computers, and MySpace is going todo nothing about it? "talk to ad networks about remove ad" ?

    I think that they should abandon that ad network, and even sue them.

  5. When it uses normal file deletion, it uses the normal file deletion method that Windows use when deleting a file. The same as when you delete a file yourself. Which doesnt really *erase* the file, it just makes it disappear, but its still there hidden in the filesystem.

    When you use secure file deletion, it overwrites the file with random data to prevent recovery of deleted files.

     

    So basically secure file deletion makes it more difficult to recover data, but it takes longer time todo since it has to overwrite files.

  6. About the download thing, I don't know, because my Internet is never down.

    But it has pause/resume functionality for downloads, so it can resume on files, unlike IE which must restart download the whole file.

     

    About popups, I don't I ever got one using Firefox. Maybe you have adware or the popup functionality disabled? (Though, default it is enabled)

  7. Ya, he meant "DRM-free", as in the absence of DRM.

     

    Ya, RIAA has screwed over forever...

     

    It is good that they finally, sell music for download without DRM, something that I honestly thought they would never do. But still, it costs more than a CD, heh.

     

    There is this Russian site, I never used it, but I heard it offer full-quality DRM-free music (for pay), such as MP3 and Ogg Vorbis, etc... maybe had other format too...

  8. If you use iTunes then reformat your computer, I heard you must buy all your music again...

     

    And it don't support Ogg Vorbis and FLAC.

    Aff!
