Maybe I'm missing a point here, but surely this thread's probably the wrong place to be if you're absolutely against smoking, never have done it and never will do it?
Regardless, I agree with VaKo, that's not to say I believe you can't have fun without a drink, but it certainly can be helpful for lubricating social situations, often to the point of doing things or meeting people you might never have otherwise, so I'm happy to enjoy a few glasses now and again. Besides, you can't take your money with you, may as well have a little fun in the meantime, eh?

Yup, it's that simple, seconds * 1000 = millseconds.

Just to let you know, we're now aware of this thread and we'll see what we can do, bear with us.

For battery life, I carry spare batteries, they're not really all that expensive and a desktop charger is cheap too, I have 2 standard capacity batteries and a double capacity model, I very rarely find myself lacking in power. For that reason (among others) the iPhone would not be for me.
Personally I use Windows Mobile 6 and I might be one of the few people on the planet who actually likes it, but it does the job well, it's just not very pretty, though that doesn't bother me. If you're into the whole iPhone thing I'd wait and see what the next model will be, it's rumoured to be coming soon, and though it'll be a while yet, Windows Phone 7 might appeal to you as well, being much more interface oriented, and the ZuneHD UI they've included is nice for media too.
If you're wanting either Android or iPhone though, personally I'd choose Android with a hardware keyboard. It's more flexible and though I would have to admit that it feels a little immature even now, it's being updated very rapidly and it's certainly usable as it stands currently.

You can get Windows Embedded Compact, which is CE based (and includes the Windows Mobile family), Windows Embedded Standard which is XP based, and Windows Embedded Enterprise which is Vista based. Standard versions of Windows aren't good on flash media.
You can try the 2011 edition here, http://connect.microsoft.com/windowsembedded
What he said. However, I'd add that Embedded Standard 2009 is XP-based, Standard 2011 is Win7 based, Vista for Embedded Systems is, surprise, Vista based.
Still, it's true, Windows doesn't like running from USB in its standard form. XP can be installed to USB sticks/HDDs with minor modification to the install files, but it can be unstable or have issues with USB support, Vista and 7 aren't quite as obliging, though. The embedded versions are specifically designed to run on unusual setups, including from USB drives.

Windows Embedded, however, will run happily on USB drives as standard.
If instead you mean running a server from a USB stick on an OS which already exists, well, there's no reason why not, either on Windows, Linux or OSX. A copy of Apache and whatever else can run just fine from a USB stick... in fact, check out WAMP/LAMP and their variations. Bear in mind, however, that many concurrent uploads or downloads to said server will work the USB stick hard, and will be slow.

AT PSU? I haven't seen one of those in ages...
Try reseating the RAM. Remove everything non-essential, any expansion cards, any drives, remove and replace the RAM (may take a couple of tries). If there's no speaker hooked to the motherboard, hook one up and check for POST beeps, if there is, expect to hear something if it decides to work.
Really though, it looks far too old to be useful for anything worthwhile, if you can't make it work doing the above (including VaKo's suggestions) just trash it, it's done. Judging by the size of the CPU fan and the lack of more expansion slots, I'd guess it's a Pentium/K6 class machine and a budget one at that, so really not worth the effort.

Proof, I want proof.
In other news, I've cracked every encryption scheme ever, using a program which took me 52.44 seconds to write (in COBOL, no less). It absolutely requires a 68k CPU, and will render any protections absolutely useless in mere milliseconds. Thank you and good night.

This is not the place for such things, I would recommend not offering such a service again.

Leopard runs tolerably on an eeepc 701 which has an underclocked 900MHz Celeron M (running at 630MHz, overclockable by BIOS if you have the appropriate version or software if not) with 512MB RAM and GMA915 graphics. The screen resolution is somewhat restrictive but speed-wise it's more than tolerable. I see no reason why anything more powerful couldn't handle it but I do think that if you're multi-booting it's a little redundant. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone not fully capable of researching and fixing their own problems either, it can be a little picky and there's no telling if and when Apple might decide to kill OSx86.

I have 2 HSDPA modems and a smartphone (all unlocked), also with SIM cards for all major UK networks, PAYG is very convenient for network switching. Internet practically anywhere is really quite useful, as an example I did a laptop repair for someone just the other day and ran my phone as a wifi access point to activate Windows because there was no internet connection available.
-
You can debate the merits of any given OS versus another all day long but ultimately only you can really give the answer. Personally? With Windows and Linux, I'd say OSX is pretty much redundant. How often will you really reboot to use it? What use is a pretty interface if you have to reboot to do anyting? I can see the attraction to hackintoshing, but I think it makes a lot more sense if it's your only OS or if you're a huge Mac fan and use OSX day in and day out.

No problemo, glad to be of assistance. <3 VirtualBox.

As for the thing about the knife, its just a rant about people going out of there way to insist they are only interested in whitehat stuff. Frankly I find this annoying. Its just stuff you can learn, what you do with the knowledge is more important than pretending you only want to learn the nice stuff.
That. To clarify the knife thing, basically all it means is that just like a cheese grater or a sledgehammer or a dinner plate, you can either use them as they were intended, or to do damage. Just because you can do damage with them, does that make them bad? No, it means they might have alternate uses.
I find personally that I think of "bad" things just as much as I think of "good" things when it comes to technology and its uses, it's all the same thing, it's not "bad" or "good", it's just "it". All it shows is that you better understand how something works, not that you intend to do anything "bad" with it, ignoring some aspect of a particular topic or technology because it's "bad" is stupid. That doesn't mean you have to be a dick about it, but if you're going to be a dick, you'll be a dick whatever you're working with, anything can be "bad" if you make it that way.

If you use those, how do you connect? I'm totally clueless in that respect as I haven't used them. I'm basically trying to get it set up from the command line, but I can install a GUI if that would make it simpler.
I've never set up a VM entirely from a command line before, and I'd personally suggest either creating the VM on another machine or using a GUI just to create the machines, but connecting is easy, once the VM is launched (whether headless or not) you can just point your chosen RDP client at the appropriate IP/port (port is configurable, IP is the IP of the host machine) and connect as you would to any other machine.

Your wall of text offends my eyes. However, I managed to make it through reading ~3/4 of it, so I'll try and throw you a few hints. Hak5 as a show means zip to me these days. Yeah, I was interested in it way back, really more for the hardware I suppose, but either got much more focussed on too few topics or focussed on beginners rather than more experienced enthusiasts, I grew out of it and learned quicker than it could feed me interesting stuff, or a combination of all of the above. That doesn't necessarily mean it's bad, that's a matter of taste, it's not for me, perhaps it's not for you, but it might be brilliant to others for whatever reasons.
Now, that doesn't mean I'm necessarily gonna sod off, personally I see this forum as being an entity of its own, while I must admit it's often rare these days that I find many topics which appeal to me and often topics I post threads about slip down the pages pretty quick, it's still nice to have a selection of places to go for discussion, this forum is one of mine.
One thing I will say, it's something I say a lot, is that security and networking are so very far away from being the only topics worth discussing when it comes to technology, learning or exploring it, or doing it for a living. Hak5 is a show which, for better or worse, has a specific focus on a limited set of topics and maybe those topics aren't right for you just at the moment, I know they're not for me right now. If you try and watch content that you don't enjoy, it'll just bore and irritate you, if it's not something you want to watch then it's probably wise not to. Personally? Give me microcontrollers, emulation, serial devices, hardware repurposing and reclaimation... well, you name it, just as long as it's not security, just because Hak5 doesn't feed me it doesn't mean that I can't go out and do it myself. Moving on isn't quitting, it's trying something different for a while. Sure, I know there's a shitload of stuff I don't know, but there's a shitload of other stuff I don't know too, there's enough stuff to learn that you can pick and choose. Don't much care for security? Great, go learn about how to talk to devices you own or get into video or learn to program or try building some hardware or take more crap apart/fix more crap. The possibilities are next to endless, only you know what you want to do, and if you don't, explore stuff until you do. I jump around wildly differing projects like a cat on a hot tin roof.
Ultimately it's likely you're just really bored of hearing stuff you just aren't interested in, go out and explore your own stuff, do your own thing, Hak5 has done its job, a stepping stone onto other things (as I see it, at least, I can't speak for the cast). You might be interested in BSoDtv, Fatman and Circuit Girl or AmateurLogic or EEVBlog or... well, anyway, Hak5 isn't the be all and end all, that's basically what I'm saying, don't try to fit yourself to the show, just do whatever you wanna do.

VirtualBox's built in RDP servers (one per VM) are awesome, you can run VMs "headless" from a command line and RDP in... but unlike using an RDP server in the guest OS, you actually get to see the entire bootup and shutdown process, so if something goes horribly wrong, you can see it, you don't have to just try to guess why your guest OS's RDP server isn't responding. It also resizes the guest OS's screen according to your RDP client's settings (as long as guest additions are installed), which means you can see what any given OS would look like running natively on your phone. Maybe that's more useful to me than you, but it's nice to be able to do it.

There's also a new ending to the game now, in a second update from the 3rd of March and Portal 2 was announced on the 5th. There's a zillion threads on the Steam forums covering just about every possible aspect of this challenge, including new updates as and when they come.
I love how in-depth this thing is though, using SSTV, a real dialup BBS, morse code, ASCII art, MD5 hashes... basically, the only way you'd stand a chance of working it out, especially in a reasonable time, is with a lot of minds, moreso because most of those technologies are foreign to most gamers I would think, especially younger gamers.
I love how it was tied into the real world with the BBS too, it's been branded an ARG by many, and I think there's massive potential for bridging games to their sequels in this way, especially with a game such as Portal.
Anyway, to sum up, kudos to Valve, long may their sense of humour and provision of such titles and challenges continue.
