I don't understand why that bothers you so much. However, depending on
your desktop, turn off the various automount options for media (CD,
DVD, USB drives, cameras, etc.). Under XFCE, it's

     Applications Menu->Settings->Removable Drives and Media

Make sure all the mount options are turned off in all the tabs. That
may not stop all the polling...several of the kernel storage device
modules poll periodically and there's not much you can do about that.
