I'm not sure but a Ducky and bunny modr might be fun.... I mean how many time have you seen Duckys with AK's attacking Bunnies with M-16's ?.... would be a fun Mod..... Oh wait, MW2 doesn't support mods...:(

Take a look at Gparted. (sorce forge.net)

It's linux based, but works on NTFS, and FAT32 volumes, you can download a live CD and your off.

I used it at a past job when dealing with allot of HP systems that they wanted to be dual partitioned... It's easy to use quick, and doesn't leave a oily residue like partition magic can :)

Also double check you software.. it my run under vista just fine..... better yet wait a few weeks and order Windows 7 pro...and run the software in XP mode :)

I'm using the Dlink NAS.... It has 1Gb copper nic, and can do Raid 1...but only holds 2 disks. That way my bits are safe.... But the offsite rotation is the ultimate in saftey!

I'm not sure What Blizzard is thinking with this one... I'm sure someone will work out a way to play this on a LAN... The have with WOW....

If they think this will limit piracy, they haven't looked around at the "real World", someone will find away around it (SPORE) and it will be in the wild for free.... It feels more like Apple's walled garden thinking to me... force everyone to use our servers so we can control your experiance... which can be good and bad. If they start limiting what we can see or do it will be bad, if it helps in making download, patch, and try to join a server ritual a thing of the past (ala steam) it will be a good thing. 

I'm willing to wait and see.... but the no LAN is a dumb move!!

I've used Compatibility mode in the past to Save small businesses allot of
money. It's allowed them to keep running specialized Software that was not
written for XP. The Cost of the upgrades (when available), Training, lost
productivity, etc would have been more then a smaller business could afford and
still be profitable.

The Virtual PC/Server has helped us save on development, and deployment
costs.
For MS to see the light and roll this feature into 7 is a good thing for businesses.
<p>Also helps me pick a version of 7....(assuming that pro/ultimate features
stay the same at launch)

Boy, I'm glad I moved! I had Comcast for 4 years the Speed was good, but
it's expensive! And their Customer service SUCKS! Now they want to Screw users
into submission!

I thought that the days of the metered usage died with Dialup, but I guess
an old trick is the best when you don't want to spend capital on infrastructure.
I understand them wanting to limit the illegal p2p users (I also know that not
all p2p is illegal, I use it myself from time to time). But smacking a
limit on all users, just as digital delivery is taking hold with the masses,
and VoIP has left the office to come home with the average Joe is just
backwards! To think that a "usage meter" is going to make it all
better is even sillier! I agree that an .EXE just shows you how backwards this
company has it, show me an average house hold that has only one Device on the
internet... Most have 2 or 4 (mom/dad's work laptop, the Family's PC, little
Johny's Xbox/Wii/PS3, the Netflix’s box) So unless that little .exe connects
back to a central server (and using some of that bandwidth that they've
limited) to pull up a report how's it going to track the usage accurately.

It time for the US ISP to get their heads out of the sand and catch backup
with the World leaders in high speed internet and forget the usage Caps!

Moving the Electronics to an external box is a great Idea...

I mean really how many of us don't already have a pile of electronics gear we've got to put into a cabinet or close? One more peice is no big deal, exspecialy with the added bonus of a super slim display wall mounted !!!

Can you say floor space :)

Weather from the 80's or earlier, it wouldn't matter. Many of the older ships use lead alloy bearings, or lead as ballast, add that to all the copper (yes copper can be a hazard, it kills many types of algae , and other microbes, also in some forms is considered a heavy metal (think lead, cadmium, etc))   and oils onboard you still have issues.

It's nice to see they went with a Standard AA, So it's easly swapped out at a LAN, if the NiMH gives out before you do :)

I'm a fan of the bigger mice so yeepy for it's size! They really need to switch out the Red LEDs for blue, or make them changeable (through software) oh well, it's an easy mod :)

I'm of the school where if your packets are accepted, and you didn't dishonestly present your self to the AP (IE mac spoof..etc) then it's cool. Why, well there are allot of places where you maybe inadvertently on someone else's network (big issue in apartments)your card picks the fastest one with the best signal. Not a big deal.. In my mind it's like a large lawn clock..I paid for it, it's on my land, and I own it...but if you can see it from your place across the street, or driving by you shouldn't be arrested for looking at it or using it to set your watch. I can see some points to laws against it but really. Unless your using it with the intent to commit a crime while using it (computer or other) What's the problem?
