If the joists were as magnetic enough to do what they claim, I would hesitate to walk through the house with steel toed boots. One could lose a foot that way.
They did but it's still a pain in the ass. In Ubuntu at least, you have to edit grub.cfg and then "update-grub". I liked the old way of doing things where update-grub was unnecessary.
It's not a matter of whether or not it's recoverable. It's all about making it unfeasible to recover the data - by mechanical means or financially. Then again, the original poster of this article sounds like a regular everyday jackoff that is a bit paranoid about his own decade-old information. Just removing the platters would be sufficient in that case. Turn them into a piece of artwork or something.
Love him or hate him, Steve Jobs has earned a retirement. The amount he has contributed in the way businesses are run and how things are designed and marketed far surpasses the contributions in the same areas as anyone in this internet backwater. He's in poor health and he needs to enjoy what time he has left. I wish him all the best.
I store my old first generation SCSI magnets on drywall screws that have been plastered and painted over on my walls. I'm still like a little kid whenever I hang a new one up.
How is it a sunk cost when they are considering $600 per unit investment in changing the way they do business that could cost considerably more? Please.
The $1000 charge probably covers what the woman lost/spent pursuing this $4.19. My hats off to her for looking out for her own interests as well as ours.
You provide a sound argument other than "use it because it's security" or calling me a dumbass.
It's not really a problem as much as it's an annoyance. The file system link has nothing to do with it. My take on it is that it conditions the user in much the same way as UAC does in Windows; so the real security aspects of it are somewhat moot for a single user system.
Not trolling. Just fed up with sudo. For a single user system, why not have the option of just plain not installing it by default? I mean, its my system. I'm going to perform all root operations on it. Why do I have to be inconvenienced by this annoying application?
As someone who had the same thing happen, let it go man. In 5 years you will be wondering how you had your head that far up your ass commenting on this and identifying yourself.

Oh definitely.

Godwined.

Ignorant... Much like you are with this comment.
*Slow clap* Your logic is sound.

I have one metric shitload of neodymium from hard drive magnets. Where can I turn this fun to play with and fun to say metal into money?
Your argument boils down to one thing: iPads are for consuming content and not producing it.

IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!
The PC is dead! Long live the PC!
That inflection point just so happens to be when the Democrats took both houses of Congress and stopped producing an annual budget.
This is relevant how?

This is true. Which is why TSA has never caught one.
I do believe you owe me a new mind sir. That realization - after all of the money spent on the TSA - blew my mind.
Stay frosty my friend.

It would have been better released as a netbook or tablet only DM option.
