Old story and nothing new. I been using Knoppix and Ubuntu to rescue Windows for
clients when it becomes corrupted and\or unbootable.

That use of a Linux bootable disc is as old as the hills with computer
engineers. They can also be used for many other repairs, especially to
Win OSes; things like replace missing and corrupted system files.

I do not doubt that is *your* experience, but it is not the experience of
most users.

Heh. Saw an email from someone at a fairly famous lab, about how one of the
researchers there got the entire network pwned by Windows malware.

It happens pretty often, Snit.

Hell, our customer *banned* USB drives, so bad/frequent were the infections
they carried. The drive must be scanned and stamped before it can be used.

It looks like they may lift the ban, sort of:

http://gcn.com/articles/2010/02/18/d...drive-ban.aspx

Tom Conway, director of federal business development for security company
McAfee, said new rules for using removable media would likely accompany
the lift of the ban.

"Based on how the military is looking at [information technology] in
general, there is going to be a lot more accountability," he said.
That could include control over who is allowed to use the devices, steps
to ensure they are used in compliance with security practices, and
enforcement if the devices are used improperly, he said.

What a pain in the ass. Use Linux instead.

Oxygen is a very toxic gas and an extreme fire hazard. It is fatal in
concentrations of as little as 0.000001 p.p.m. Humans exposed to the
oxygen concentrations die within a few minutes. Symptoms resemble very
much those of cyanide poisoning (blue face, etc.). In higher
concentrations, e.g. 20%, the toxic effect is somewhat delayed and it
takes about 2.5 billion inhalations before death takes place. The reason
for the delay is the difference in the mechanism of the toxic effect of
oxygen in 20% concentration. It apparently contributes to a complex
process called aging, of which very little is known, except that it is
always fatal.

However, the main disadvantage of the 20% oxygen concentration is in the
fact it is habit forming. The first inhalation (occurring at birth) is
sufficient to make oxygen addiction permanent. After that, any
considerable decrease in the daily oxygen doses results in death with
symptoms resembling those of cyanide poisoning.

Oxygen is an extreme fire hazard. All of the fires that were reported in
the continental U.S. for the period of the past 25 years were found to be
due to the presence of this gas in the atmosphere surrounding the buildings
in question.

Oxygen is especially dangerous because it is odorless, colorless and
tasteless, so that its presence can not be readily detected until it is
too late.
