why wouldn't he confess to her death if he did it? To get at Reiser. Assuming the guy doesn't like Hans (and if she left him for Hans, that's likely) he might be able to get Hans convicted for the crime.

Re:Why isn't this a default

On: Tech Magazine Loses June Issue, No Backup

Time machine isn't really a backup. If your harddrive craps out, you still lose everything. That's not true---a backup is exactly what time machine is. It backs up to an external drive or server, it's not a versioning file system like zfs.

Initial image by agreed experts, not RIAA

On: Safeguards For RIAA Hard Drive Inspection

it (a) permits the RIAA's own imaging person to make the initial mirror image IANAL, but having RTFA, I'd say that statement's a bit misleading. It actually states that an expert agreed upon by both parties will make two copies, make an MD5 hash of the copies, then the defendant has the opportunity to justify that some files are private and nothing to do with the case, and once that's settled:

Plaintiffs shall have access to the Escrowed Image of the hard drive, minus the files as to which privilege has been asserted Seems pretty reasonable to me. Wouldn't make a lot of sense if they gave them access to the drive minus these files, if they had already initially had access to the whole thing.
