Physical keyloggers are pretty common, either as keyboard pass throughs, or tapped onto the pins for the PS/2 port. I think he was being thorough, can't blame him for gaps in your knowledge.

He probably had his ear next to the drive purely coincidentally whilst looking for something else. He can't change what the editors turn it into.

You don't like it when people poke fun at your inabilities,yet are happy to leap all over someone else.

299370 2004-12-03 08:34:00 Chill,

Stronger moderation I support, but did you have a bad day . . why remove?

Just edit and put comment in post, may have a better effect IMHO on every one .

There were some valid points, but they were presented in a very "WTF way" for want of a better annology .
