  2. Re:how good is it? on Forensic Computer Targets Digital Crime · · Score: 2, Informative

    An electron microscope can pick up even the faintest of magnetic fields. The weaker the field, the more times it's been overwritten.

    Actually, DoD and NSA spec is 7 times. Google it.

  4. how good is it? on Forensic Computer Targets Digital Crime · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I have to wonder, after how many overwrites can this system detect data? The last I checked, the FBI can see data that has been overwritten 12 times.

    So?

    Sounds a bit like a paradox to me.

    Does it really surprise you that all these companies are in bed together? Axis of evil?! More like the Fourth Reich! This is a war damn it!

  8. Re:Karma Whore Alert on Judge Strikes Down Part of Patriot Act · · Score: 1

    Actually, I've only been posting on here for about 2 months. I've never heard anyone else use this on /. But I have heard the "I, for one, welcome our [fill in the blank] overlords" quote many many times. Would you count those people in the karma whore category too?

    Would you expect anything better out of Computerworld?

  11. Re:Hate to be a dick but... on Hole in Asteroid Belt Reveals Extinction Asteroid · · Score: 1

    Lets use our heads now. Flys buzz around poop and dinosaurs were the only ones in the solar system at the time making poop. So therefore, more fly-like asteroids hit Earth than any other planet. The moon just ran interference.

  12. I noticed... on Hynix 48-GB Flash MCP · · Score: 1

    The sizes of SSHDs reported recently are kinda like the odd sizes of SCSI drives.

  13. Re:48 GB = 384Gb on Hynix 48-GB Flash MCP · · Score: 1

    384,000,000,000bits / 8bits in a byte = 48GB / 24 flash devices = 2GB per device. Seems like they could almost do better. I'll give it some time. (Impatient for SSHD)

    Exactly. So why am I deemed a troll all-of-a-sudden?

    At least I haven't seen any Global Warming scarey articles in a while. I really wish we had a "fearmonger" tag for those.

    This article was written on the basis of a suggestion? Please get back to me when you have facts. They may be onto something.

  19. hmmm on NetApp Hits Sun With Patent Infringement Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    If it were all for the benefit of the public, the Plaintiff in this case would simply sit down and shut up. We would have never heard of the wonderful benefits of ZFS had everything (allegedly) stayed with this company I have never heard of. Instead of bitching and whining and patent trolling [cough]SCO[cough], they could work with Sun to better ZFS (if that's even possible) and let Sun sell the hell out of it.

    But that won't happen. After all, trolling is all the rage these days.

    Of course, it is statistically a proven fact that the safest place to stand is in the exact middle of the road. The data doesn't lie. The people analyzing it do!

  21. Re:Nothing to see here. on OOXML Vote and the CPI Corruption Index · · Score: 1

    And it is worth mentioning that a random effect of 7% is less than 2 standard deviations from the mean.

  22. Nothing to see here. on OOXML Vote and the CPI Corruption Index · · Score: 1

    no positive correlation between the corruption level and probability of an approval vote, that is, this is just a random effect, is about 7%. So how is this news? The writer seems to be contradictory. Nothing to see here. Move along.

    Dear Mr. Fitzpatrick,

    We hold the copyright on the "Delete Freakin' Everything(tm)" feature. Myspace has also added the "Oops we can't recover your data after being deleted" widget onto that.

    As you can see, this is the second revision to the aforementioned software. Please cease and desist with your development with obvious clone packages.

    Sincerely Yours,

    petition: if "f**k Islam" is not shut down..we r quitting facebook I do what I want with Facebook. Who cares if you quit? There are millions more signing on every day and thousands of new people joining. Who would miss a few hundred people (after most don't actually follow-through)?

    If this is a threat you have to do better than that! It's no skin off my back if you quit for being a whiner.
