I understand Steve's recoil from 4chan challenging UK Gvt but, sometimes even the worst deserve protection from fundamentally wrong actions. It is long and unbreached legal foundation in the World that there are Jurisdictions. That is if you don't have business, employees, property, systems,... at the Jurisdiction to which Law applies, you are not subject of it, none of your business and none of that Gvt business to interact with you. However UK law in question breaches this wall, that is what the lawsuit is about. They actually sent legal demands to company not present in any form on their soil and followed that with related large fines. Trivially explained with example: just imagine if another country makes exactly opposite law and demand it applies to whole of the World, that nobody can ask for the age of a user or they will be charged dramatic fees... Not sustainable. Yes, Internet crosses the borders but old, important legal concepts can hold - if company is not in your jurisdiction and you don't like what/how they do, you can block them on your sovereign territory, not try to apply laws on companies and people who can't influence your policy at the ballot...

DNS Benchmark v2 is Finished and Available! Guest:
That's right. It took an entire year, but the result far more accurate and feature laden than we originally planned. The world now has a universal, multi-protocol, super-accurate, DNS resolver performance-measuring tool. This major second version is not free. But the deal is, purchase it once for $9.95 and you own it — and it's entire future — without ever being asked to pay anything more. For an overview list of features and more, please see The DNS Benchmark page at GRC. If you decide to make it your own, thanks in advance. It's a piece of work I'm proud to offer for sale. And if you should have any questions, many of the people who have been using and testing it throughout the past year often hang out here.

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.
