Such naivete in covering CA data broker law (and jumping in carelessly). Unanswered questions: Who audits all of them, how, when, how frequently, with or w/o any notice? What are criminal law specifications in the bill that apply to violators? What are civil law specifications and/or limits on the infringed in the bill? What are criminal and civil punishment on the Gvt of CA and its employees in this system in case of violations that will inevitably happen? Who carries the cost of related (both against the businesses and Gvt of CA) legal costs in case of violations (Gvt runs the system, even if business violates it, it failed so it should bear any initial lawsuit costs untill it can be recouped from the business,...)? In short, this is ungovernable business and the only safe option is absolute, federal level ban. CA system lacks any trust to touch it with a 10ft poll.

DNS Benchmark v2 Release 5 with Consultant License Guest:
If you own any earlier release of our DNS Benchmark you may immediately download its release #5 replacement. Running an earlier release will detect the new release and help you upgrade.
Although this release is cosmetic, appearance matters and affects ease of use. The biggest change, as seen in the image above, is that the DNS Benchmark now has a traditional Windows application menu to more fully expose its many features. This release is also "Consultant License Aware" and GRC will now issue a Consultant version when owners have previously purchased four "Personal Use" licenses. If you have previously purchased four DNSB licenses, or if you wish to upgrade your "Personal Use" license to Consultant, GRC's purchase process will direct you through that process.

BootAble – FreeDOS boot testing freeware
To obtain direct, low-level access to a system's mass storage drives, SpinRite runs under a GRC-customized version of FreeDOS which has been modified to add compatibility with all file systems. In order to run SpinRite it must first be possible to boot FreeDOS.
GRC's “BootAble” freeware allows anyone to easily create BIOS-bootable media in order to workout and confirm the details of getting a machine to boot FreeDOS through a BIOS. Once the means of doing that has been determined, the media created by SpinRite can be booted and run in the same way.
The participants here, who have taken the time to share their knowledge and experience, their successes and some frustrations with booting their computers into FreeDOS, have created a valuable knowledgebase which will benefit everyone who follows.
You may click on the image to the right to obtain your own copy of BootAble. Then use the knowledge and experience documented here to boot your computer(s) into FreeDOS. And please do not hesitate to ask questions – nowhere else can better answers be found.
