    Calling someone out on a repost

    I think I've suggested this before, but calling someone out on a repost should require a link to the original post, otherwise the poster should get a warning and then short term ban. Posting "REPOST" in a thread adds nothing to it other than being self righteous, especially when it comes to...

    How to keep track of a thumb drive

    My GF keeps leaving her thumb drive behind in labs and whatnot. What's the best way to ensure she doesn't leave it behind or lose it for that matter? She tried putting it on her keys but the keys are too heavy and I'd rather not have to secure a block of wood to it.

    Thumb drive used as security

    I saw one time that there was the ability to use a thumb drive as your password for windows XP. In other words, you could either type your password on log on or instead just throw in a thumb drive with some type of profiling (i guess) on it. Any ideas?
