For my school work, I do a lot of switching computers (from labs to my laptop to the library). I'd kind of like to put this code under some kind of version control. Of course the problem is that I can't always install additional software on the computers I use. Is there any kind of version control system that I can keep on a thumb dri...

I've just bought a new 4GB USB thumb drive and I'm trying to decide what to put on it. I'm thinking about one of the webserver on a stick packages, a C/C++ IDE (leaning toward Code::Blocks; had Dev-C++ on my old USB drive) and Python. What development related tools do you carry around with you on yours? Update I've added categories. ...
Can any script or setting be written (autorun file?) to disable formatting of a USB Flashdrive? (Win XP, via Windows Explorer > Format) I'm aware of write-protection, but I don't want to completely prevent modifying files, instead something like what a Group Policy setting could do? Edit: Really what I'm asking for is a registry setti...

In an application we would like to control the windows pop-up messages that appear when a new USB drive is connected to the system. Ideally, the dialog box should be completely hidden. Any messages that could help? Update I know the trick to globally disable autoplay, but I'd rather control the behavior on a per event, per device bas...
I have a demo that runs off of a USB drive and I would like to prevent the simple case where some one copies the demo. I was thinking that I could just get something specific about the USB drive like manufacture,size, firmware version and or identifier. Since we are putting the demo together and sending it out it could be tied to a spec...
I have recently been studying some bootstrap code which was intended for use with a floppy drive. My goal is to modify the program so that it uses my USB flash drive. Now I see how the INT 13H function has been used with the floppy device, but I guess my question is, how will communicating with the USB drive differ? For example, here is...

Hi, I know that Ubuntu (and Fedora) uses Upstart istead of the classical System V init daemon (SysVinit). I would like to know how to detect when a USB-drive has been inserted, mount it and copy some files to it. I would like Upstart to call my own script for this. If it is possible I would like Upstart to call the script for a specifi...

There is a Windows version of Git available at: http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/ Installing and running it from the local harddisk c:\ was absolutely no problem.

I find myself wasting more and more time the last few years when I have to reinstall an OS and 20+ development tools and apps. I'm looking to do more work in virtual machines. Now that you are starting to see 32GB and 64GB thumb drives. I was wondering can you run a Virtual PC or VMWare image from a USB Thumb drive? Any issues with doin...
