Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I can't believe how pissy they are about something no one's making them use.

I figure it'll be faster than torrent, right? It'd better be.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I can't believe how pissy they are about something no one's making them use.

And to complain about content when all they've seen is one beta screen....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Heh. I appreciate good sarcasm.

I guess the idea is if that you have to know where the key you want is, you will be faster than if you can cheat.

Or, you know, you could just not look.

Hey. New board.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Sorry to be asking so many questions in here lately, but before I get rid of my old computer, I was wondering how to get all my information off of it. Computer clueless, please use small words.

Your tag here.

I was wondering how to get all my information off of it

sj, just to clarify: do you want to save the information to, say, a DVD for future reference or do you simply want to destroy the data so no one can see it?

For the latter, a hammer works well (wear safety goggles!). Or, the less fun way would be to use one of these tools to securely erase the data [link]
