It looks like some Sony CDs will try to install DRM software on your Mac, also: [link]
It doesn't look as stealthy and underhanded as the Windows rootkit, though. Also, Macs don't automatically run programs when a CD is inserted, right?
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

If you can get virtual hosting that supports PHP you could use phpBB
I've used it for a church website (yeah I'm an atheist, it's weird) and it's really easy to install and manage.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is there a stable way to move one's My Documents (or basically the Documents and Settings structure) from the OS drive? I'm trying to separate apps from data as much as possible, and I have a few apps that insist on defaulting to My Whatever all the time. And I keep running out of space on the wee C.

If you figure it out ita, let me know. That drives me batty as well.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Did you look in the registry for... um... anything obvious?
(I'm at home, where I don't have a working Windows computer.)

I do not poke around in the registry without doublechecked instructions. I used to reinstall my OS just for fun, but I'm old and cranky now.

Here we go, Jon (XP). I'll try it this weekend.
I never expanded my system partition to cover the other empty partition on the drive -- I just didn't feel up to the risk. This, especially since it moves the Eudora mailboxes, should be just the thing I need.

Your tag here.
Is there a stable way to move one's My Documents
On XP, if you right-click the My Documents icon on the desktop, select Properties, you can specify the folder location there.

Get the fuck out of town!
XP is good for something...
Thank you!
eta: although that doesn't move the whole Documents and Settings structure, leaving the Application Data on the C drive. But it's giving me ideas...
