Single Drive Wipe Protects Data

ALF-nl writes "A forensics expert claims that wiping your hard drives with just one pass already makes it next to impossible to recover the data with an electron microscope." But that's not accounting for the super secret machines that the government has, man.

Re:Depends on your crime

Police do pursue murders by computer forensics, the DEA doesn't spend an inordinate amount of time on "a few ounces of pot", a history of violence against women is not a crime in itself, some Islamic charities are known to support terrorism, bilking millions of dollars is also not necessarily a crime - and where it is a crime it is frequently prosecuted, and lastly the incident in San Francisco you referenced was not at all typical.

You are an ASSHAT. Grow the fuck up.
