That's just about enough to get you from Philly to Pittsburgh.
Barely, so long as you don't hit traffic, or a detour, or stop from lunch, and you batteries are in absolute top shape, and it certainly won't get you back again.
Until you park to close to somebody else. Then you realize that it's uncomfortable, but doable to get out of a partially open normally hinged door (unless you are really fat). Not so much for a gull wing door. Unless you're okay with climbing out on your hands and knees.
Unless you are getting raided the very next day, I think you faith in the ability of forensic examination to recover data might be a little bit over blown. Yes you can recover deleted stuff off a drive, but once you start using it regularly, repeatedly writing to it, that original data will be pretty much irrevocably gone anyway. A hard drive won't remember everything that was written on it from now until the end of time.
Also if you illegally download an episode of Glee you deserve to go to jail. Not for the illegal download, just for the Glee part;)
A bit tin-foil hatish though? Once you start using the drive it'll become increasingly less and less recoverable. And what if the drive hadn't had stuff on it, but whoever did the refurb just did a regular ol' erasing. Would you nuke any refurb drive just in case?
Why even bother with industrial grade hard drive whipping? It's not you data, so who cares. Just a regular erasing should be fine. If I was the questioner, I would probably just repartition, format and get on with it.
A quick e-mail to New Egg to bitch them out might be worthwhile too.
but my position is if a law is determined to be unjust, people should no longer be punished for it, even if the punishment is simply having an arrest on their record.
That raises an interesting question that I don't know the answer to: Is there currently anybody living with a conviction on their record for this "crime"? As far as I can tell from Wikipedia, homosexuality was decriminalized by the Sexual Offences Act of 1967. But I don't know how many people were being prosecuted immediately prior to that. Or if anybody was currently imprisoned at the time?
Not relevant. It was the law and he broke it. Of course it was unjust but we get into a whole mess of legal trouble if we start revising past laws and pardoning people of crimes we now think where unjust.
why not Alan Turing a half-century after his conviction and subsequent death?
How about exactly because it's 50 years later and he's dead. Why bother?
Also, the reasoning of "if we pardon him, then we have to pardon everybody else" is as stupid for this as it is for potato chips.
Only none of your reasons for acquittal apply here. There was no trial error and he wasn't innocent. There is no doubt as to his guilt (as there was no doubt about the guilt of Oscar Wilde either), it's just that the law that they broke was absolutely abhorrent.

It's pretty clear that Mozilla have no interest in catering to enterprise customers anyway.
So given your propensity to dismiss anything that doesn't conform to your paranoid fantasies, I wouldn't bother arguing with you.
So basically you are saying you will dismiss out-of-hand any report that doesn't say "OH MY GOD! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!"?
Fukushima wasn't nuked. Your analog is off by many orders of magnitude.
You wouldn't use terms such as "poofter" and "rodgering" unless you were a closest Brit. Admitting it would be the first step towards healing.
Any why are Dwarves always Scottish?
Exactly.
....film at 11.
Unless you have the radio on, or the AC.

I certainly wouldn't risk it.

D'oh! Freudian slip.

Wow! You must have a whole team of comedy writers behind you to come up with such original wit.
That is a direct quote from Al Gore
Taken out-of-context and by your own admission, not what he meant to say. That's why it tiring and not funny any more.
It surprised me. Google's early success came entirely from respecting its customers
Yes. early success. Back when they weren't making money hand over fist. Back before they realized they could make much more money by not doing that.
Also, needless to say (especially since somebody else has already replied), but you are not their customer, you are the product.
Really? This surprised you?

...Which has long since been done.
How about the fact that the law was unjust?
Not relevant. It was the law and he broke it. Of course it was unjust but we get into a whole mess of legal trouble if we start revising past laws and pardoning people of crimes we now think where unjust.

That's not much of a counter-argument.
In addition to Jocce640k's comment that "Atheism isn't a religion", it isn't new either.

NO! Only one cookie for you. Find something else to be pedantic about if you want another one.
