Can somebody please make a portable version of Windows 7. I need to run it from my 128MB flash drive that I bought from a street vendor who strangely wasn't there the following day.

Don't worry about licensing or legal issues, you won't get into trouble, I promise not to tell.

Oh and while you're at it can you come round my house, shampoo my carpets and do my laundry?

Thanks so much PortableApps team, you're the best.

P.S. Please let the dog out and the cat in. Thx!

Ok, so my mom got me 3 and a possible 4 semi old computers that work. And I don't really know what to do with them :/. I have a couple ideas in mind () cluster them and make a server, Ddos a small computer :), sell them and buy a better computer computer). But I want to know what els I could do with them.
So before I make a final decision I want to know what would you do with them?

Suggestion: let's move to phpBB3

I think phpBB3 would probably be a lot nicer & easier to work with... I'm a member on a few phpBB3 forums and an admin on one, and I can assure you it's nicer than this from everyone's point of view.
Admins get complete control over everything on the board, and mods actually have powers (i.e. post editing, post deleting, etc.) without needing to heavily customize the installation... and oh yes, I forgot to mention the fine-grained permissions: permissions can be fine-grained right down to allowing one user, say, to put images in their posts while denying that to another user.

Free 1GB Xmas drive while supplies last

Hey guys, my wife subscribes to an email with giveaways and stuff, I happened to be shoulder surfing and noticed a giveaway for a free Christmas-themed flash drive. We filled it out with my info and they said it processed OK, figured maybe some people up here might wanna take advantage of this offer as well. No shipping fees, no nothing, looks like you just put in your info and they send it in 2-3 weeks. No emails from them so you can probably use a fake one.

Edit: Link removed by me, turns out it was a hoax.

Staff don't like this, they can delete it, just thought I'd pass it along.
