Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

Instead of funneling traffic, how about a link to the SourceForge project page directly?

Because, I had that link directly in front of me. The other would have taken two clicks. (A whole extra click) It's called economy of motion - I'm doing my part for the environment.

I use Ereaser for my secure deleting needs, and truecrypt for my storage needs, I wonder if there is an ereaser utility that runs off USB?

If you like Eraser, I don't think there is any better USB-portable version that this one.

I use eraser and R-Wipe&Clean. Never erase your sensitive file using only 1 pass. It still can be recovered using EASES Data Recovery Wizard. I recovered a lot of movie and still can play them well perfectly.
I used R-Wipe&Clean to clean free space on drive D using 1 pass. All files still can be recovered.
