This is the one we use, seems to work well: http://labs.unitinteractive.com/unitpngfix.php[^]

Robocopy is actually pretty good for this, included in Vista, 7, 2003 and 2008. MS resource kit version can be downloaded for older OSes. Basically create a bat file with the command and options you want. Example: Mirror D: to E: with retries, logging and skipping some junk files & folders

robocopy D: E: /ZB /MIR /R:3 /W:5 /NS /NC /NDL /NP /XD RECYCLER "System Volume Information" /XF *".DS_Store" /LOG+:%Date:~-4,4%%Date:~-7,2%%Date:~-10,2%_Backup.txt

Alternatively there is a new GUI for robocopy called RichCopy http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2009.04.utilityspotlight.aspx[^]

1: System Restore points - Clear out old ones 2: Shadow Volume Copy - A quick search will give you tons of info on how to check the size of this. 3: Update and Service packs install in a mode so that they are able to be uninstalled, you can make them permanent and free up quite a lot of space, there's a few cmd's for it search it up.

No surprise really, PC games are heavily digitally distributed now by services like Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/[^]) and ImpluseDriven (http://www.impulsedriven.com/[^]). PC Gaming Industry is dead, lol not even close... World of Warcraft hits 11.5 million subscribers.. http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/world-of-warcraft-hits-11-5-million-subscribers[^] Yes that's 11.5 million active subscribers paying ~$15 USD per month. How about: Steam's 50% off Left 4 Dead sale recently... http://www.joystiq.com/2009/02/20/steams-left-4-dead-sale-increased-purchase-infection-by-3000/[^]

It's hard to imagine a situation where 20,000 items in a drop down is anything other than bad user interface design.

They are using the Apple WebKit rendering engine though it seems, so if it works for Safari now it will probably work for Google Chrome fine. http://webkit.org/[^] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebKit[^]

For people who simply don't click on bad links how do you really know the link isn't bad? There are tons of exploits in all browsers and there probably always will be. Don't forget infection via USB thumb drive is the social networking of virus infection. You plug your USB device into say a shared laptop/machine to do a demo or presentation, maybe you're at a net cafe to copy some files.. USB auto start is a significant attack vector you probably haven't even considered. The cost of AV is next to nothing, in terms of both computer speed and money for AV these days. When I say the performance cost is next to nothing I'm not talking about bloated crap like Norton/McAfee if that's all you've ever used. There are so many free (but still decent) AV solutions there isn't really a monetary cost either. If the cost is practically 0 why would you not do it?
