Try this little experiment, while sitting down (also works standing up), lift your right leg and start making clockwise circles with it. While doing this draw the number 6 in the air with your right hand. You will notice that your foot changes direction, you cant seem to control it either. Weird.

I’ve just come across another solution for launching LiveCDs without burning them. You can use Qemu (which is preferable because it’s OpenSource).To install it is easy: you can do this with apt-get in your konsole:
