Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I'm not going to disagree with you, linux HTPC route is a PITA compared to windows. In my case, I enjoy the challenge more than the final product. post-processing of my recordings just seems easier to accomplish with linux based scripts/apps. I love being able to transcode videos to divx...
Actually, you can erase permanent ink with rubbing alcohol. I doubt the alcohol would have any impact on the disk surface either because it is plastic.
hell, when I was in HS we thought 5-1/4" 360K floppies were bananas. Then the 1.2MB 5-1/4" floppies hit the street and it was the most awesome thing ever. Imagine if we had 100MB zips back then...
