*phile is a somewhat widely used suffix to words - Take chemistry, electrophile, nucleophile - it means something which is "attracted" to something else.
The fact that the only usage of it most people hear is pedophile doesn't mean it has anything to do with that...
Um. I'm sorry. Having just RTFA, it's just just working on a computer, they specifically used a mentally challenging task which just happened to be on a computer.
Still, not your fault. Just another case of, somewhat bad summary. Title and conclusion is spot on, though.
No chance, presuming by "forensics tools" you mean software.
Unless the drive firmware has some way of telling you the analog value of the individual bits, which I doubt it does, it simply isn't possible without at least opening up the case, and a lot more very difficult work.
The general idea is, a 0 or 1 on the actual platter isn't quite that straight forward. Think of it as an analog value. If there was previously a 1 on the disk, the new 0 might actually be a 0.1 rather than a 0.0. By using some sort of system to see the actual analog value for each part of the disk, it could be possible to recover data this way.
Though I have no idea what an ETM actually does, or what device would do this for you.
Umm. They say blu ray will be superseded. Fair enough.
DVD is superseded by blu ray, yet it is far from gone, and I doubt it will be soon.
Score: -1, alarmist title.
No matter what you might like to think, the fact that they asked for a CD proves that it's not dead.
Going back to your grandpa example, you seem to be like the person trying to wrestle your inheritance out of his fingers while he's still perfectly healthy.
Well, fair enough, but she can stop playing the "For the good of all mankind" card, which is probably what caused her to win at least one of the awards.
Well, the fact that "they"'ve gone to all this trouble, and have fallen flat on their faces suggests there really aren't any backdoors in PGP at least, or that they aren't open to people at that level, which is nice.
I like screen -x, so I can access my stuff wherever I want it, with no hassle. It can get slightly funky with different terminal sizes, but screen handles that well.
Persistent? The point is, screen runs on the server. So whatever you run in it is persistent.
Security is handled by whatever you use to connect to the server, i.e. SSH.
I remember reading somewhere that in unspun drives, the head can actually bond to the surface of the platter, slightly. Hence, apparently why knocking the drive lightly can sometimes revive a dead looking drive. Although keeping it spinning regularly sounds like a better idea...
A board I built not so long ago had this sort of short between two rails. It worked perfectly if bent over so slightly (As in, the lightest touch you can give with a finger), but not if just left horizontal. It turned out an artifact of my dodgy soldering:/
I'm not quite so sure about this. Take gears of war - that kicked arse in most people's opinions, yet the story was pretty much confined to the narrative bits and rather separate from any of the action/gameplay.
And then there's the unreal tournament series, which not everybody likes, but the story in those games is a joke. The whole point in those games is blowing people's heads off, not relating to your character's struggles to come to terms with his personality.
Nope - since the key changes for each character, it's not the same character difference. Really, any OTP encryption done properly is by definition unbreakable, since you can generate any plaintext of the correct length for the given ciphertext by using the right keys
But if the fact that she's a dog is what prevents her from doing either of those two, doesn't that mean that those are discriminating against her genetically?
(I see my original post has been modded troll - It wasn't how I intended it, but fair enough. I'm just using this as an extreme example. There are many more subtle yet real world examples, it just makes it a bit clearer this way)
So, my dog can now apply for a job? I mean, surely, she cannot be refused the job on account of being a dog, as that would be discrimination against her because of a particular genetic attribute (I.e. being a dog).
Well, I know this probably isn't how it works, but it's a nice thought.

Getting "our" asses kicked is not a clear cut line. Sure, FOSS isn't the most popular software on the planet, but if it's better than the alternative, who cares how many people use it? The way I see it, if I get better software, and I don't have to pay for it, I'm the one who wins.
I don't know if I'm just particularly uninformed, but I seem to be in the same state as the rest of the population in that, the first time I hear about these laws is people complaining about them having already been passed.

Everybody wasn't dropped. A few people had issues, and so they had to completely stop trading, else the people without issues had an unfair advantage.

That's the problem with psycological theories and profiling. As soon as the subject knows the model, they probably stop following it.
(Though, I'm not having a dig at them for that. I'm seriously considering buying it myself :)
Well, heh, given that the game website appears to be somewhat slashdotted, this is probably the best thing that's ever happened to them.

Not really, given how in the article they pretty much admit to it in the phone call.
