32gb holds ALL your music with room to spare?

110gb of music.... and I don't feel like I have a very large collection. I suffer from small collection syndrome. You must suffer from micro-music-collection-syndrome.

so sad.

Jun 17th 2008 4:16PM FF 3.0 rc3? No Thanks. I'll wait until the 2 million users finish bug reporting. That is all this push is for, get more test users. BAD idea. New users who try this, may have a bad experience, thus leaving a bad taste in their mouth. Oh well.

ProcX shows you which Windows services can be safely terminated (Download Squad)

Mar 13th 2008 9:15PM For information and usefulness - yes, Process Explorer has been, and still is the king. But since it is fairly popular now - and considered a windows api, smart rootkit writers can hide processes, dlls, etc from Process Explorer. Don't believe me? You can go to www.rootkit.com and dl a sample of "vanquish" or "hacker defender". Both can hide from Process Explorer - and Autoruns. A decent addition is: gmer.exe It is buggy, and your computer might crash using it - but it can see processes that Process Explorer can't see (and kill them), remove drivers/services that Autoruns can't. Plus it has a really nice logging function to see what goes on during bootup - what parent processes are creating child threads, etc. And if you boot up in "gmer safe mode" - it really is safe mode. Which then allows you to find, delete, remove, etc drivers/services/files that Unlocker and other utilities fail at.

Yes - the gui for it sucks, and the information you get on processes sucks compared to Process Explorer. But like I said, it is a worth addition to your tool kit.
