George,
It's funny you mention the Thief 'Flamer' thing... I heard a story yesterday
that in South Africa they install devices on the cars to protect them from
being 'Carjacked'... it involves a flame thrower type device mounted under
the doors that can be operated from inside the car to keep the attackers at
bay.... I guess there are all sorts of solutions to 'anti-theft' devices...
:)

The article includes a quick time movie of the flame throwers at work...
amazing... you gotta see this...

Well, now we've got a "thief flamer" and a "thief blaster," what next? <:^)

How about a laser guided missile that homes in on the thief as he's running
away with your computer... <poof!> <grin>
(The coffee is good and hot this morning... it gets the imagination
working...)
Cheers... To a much better tomorrow...

How about just locking it up & taking it with you?
Where your lap goes, so does your laptop.. :D
A long chain, a locked steel box, an unemployed bum paid to act as minder
(nah, he'd nick it himself).....
IMO Any software solution is likely to be disabled, I.E. by formatting &
reinstalling.
It would have to be hardware & built into the mobo as add-ons can be
removed.
