Is there a single case of someone being able to recover usable data from a drive that was properly wiped more than once with random data?
More to the point, has there ever been a single case of someone being able to recover usable data from a drive that was wiped once with random data (or even plain zeroes) ? Peter Guttman has caused years of unnecessary paranoia and disk wear-and-tear with his article.
YouTube thoughtfully provide a facility to replace the audio track on your uploaded video with another public domain/Creative Commons track. I was asked to either remove my home-made video to Rainbow's 'Eyes Of The World' completely, or to replace the copyrighted audio with something else from their library. I chose Tiny Tim singing 'Tiptoe Through The Tulips'. Somewhat surreal. I don't think it will reflect well on Rainbow's hired bull terriers, and ultimately it will not reflect well on Rainbow, either.

I'm a Gnu, how do you do?
I've just moved into the house next door to you.
I've lost my Ty-phoo, so let me ask you,

You forgot 'horniness'.
If there was a job opening involving hooking up monkeys' brains to car batteries for research, and it paid more than the stripper job...

Oh, and you really should Pascal-case "EtherApe". When I first read that I figured etherape was some type of add-on to BackOrifice.

Because the universe is expanding in all directions at the same rate, the further away something is, the greater its relative velocity away from you.

Sorry, but if Apple ever brought out a robot, I'm pretty sure it'd look something like Eve (not Eva !).
I'll tell you the commercial they'd like to do, if they could, and I guarantee you, if they could, they'd do this, right here:
Here's the woman's face, beautiful.
Camera pulls back, naked breast.
Camera pulls back, she's totally naked. Legs apart.
Two fingers, right here, and it just says, "I'm Linux".

A lot of people played consoles because they didn't want the headache of PC gaming, now it's just as bad or worse.
No it isn't. Consoles still give a trouble-free experience compared to PC's. I've never seen a situation where the console experience is worse.
