If a program has DRM (e.g. SecurROM), is it still possible to make a portable app with it?

My brother bought me Dead Space as a gift, and after looking it up I realized that it had install limits and SecurROM DRM on it. I'd very much rather not install this DRM stuff on my brand new computer, seeing as how I had problems with it in the past. I'm okay with installing it on my old computer though, if I can make a portable app with it.

Why is this the case?

Anyone?

I have always noticed that question marks "?" appear randomly in my text files. All over the place in different locations. Very weird and strange.

Anyone else had this happen? What is causing Notepad++ to do this?

I do believe it's John T Haller's birthday today so I wish him the very best and how old are ya John? and correct me if I'm wrong

So my office now has bitlocker on all laptops, and remote drives that you may plug in, and it encrypts the usb key so it is read only unless you decrypt it. I am not super familiar with bitlocker, but what happens if I take my usb portable apps and put it on the harddrive, would it still be encrypted? Would it ask for the password?
I'll be checking with my IT folks, but I figure some folks may be interested or know of similar situations.
Also, IT says that I have to use Win7 pc's now, not Macs as bitlocker doesn't work with them, and there is a buggy add-on for the winXPs.

Hi guys, i just downloaded this awesome PortableApps. & i just dont know how to change my default theme ( red ) to my pre-loaded themes like silver or the bronze one... hope some of u guys can help me, thanks!! ^_^

I've installed portableapps on one of my flash drives and works beautifully but today I tried to install it on my 8gig flash drive (I'm using the lite install BTW) and it opens up after the install is done but once I eject the flash drive and reinsert it into my pc I am unable to open it. A DOS prompt comes up then disappears. I don't know why it's doing that. I double clicked the autorun settings and it's empty and the icon does not work. Any ideas what is happening? My flash drive is FAT32 formatted and it's 8gigs. Any help would be appreciated.

If a software was going open source, would it be possible for me to make it portable? The software i'm talking about is lightworks which goes open source at the end of the month
