Seriously, this exact mistake seems to occur at least a couple times a year. You would think that anyone with enough security clearance to make redactions would, I don't know, take a 4 hour training course on how to use MS Word? Do they hand this job off to interns, or what?
An easier solution.
Take document. Print it out on paper. With thick fat black marker, redact away. Then take redacted documents, and scan them in.
Yep, but then you can't search for text in it, can you?
I'm wondering if it's possible they did it on purpose, you know, to spread misinformation.
Nope. What you get as "spirytus" in Poland is 96% (or sometimes 95%) alcohol, or everclear. The beverage which you're referring to ("nalewka") is simply "fruit liquor". Yes, it's made by putting fruit (such as blackberry, for instance) into everclear (with some sugar), but the resulting potency is about 40-50% (since the fruit is mostly water). This is almost universally drunk straight, since it's just fruity vodka.
Yes, and for emergent gravity to be disproved the (claim made in the) paper would have to be correct. The grandparent of your post (which, I guess you missed) gives convincing arguments towards the contrary.
You could still connect an FPGA to the RAM (tricky soldering, but doable). Then, cool the RAM, shutdown the machine and use the FPGA to read out the RAM contents.
Yes that will work - but only in the same circumstances where a $5 wrench would do the same job.
Not really. If you get Bad Terrorist's laptop but not the Bad Terrorist, you can play the RAM trick on the laptop, but a $5 wrench is pretty useless.
It might be a silly question, but what happens when you want to annotate the paper -- you know, highlight an equation or two, draw an arrow to the margin and add your own explanation and so on?
You're still making no sense at all. When does a web browser pop up a window asking for your root password? Never. When does an OS do such a thing, prompted by some 3rd-party malware? Never.
You and I know that. Now ask yourself, does a clueless user know that?

Bazinga.
no no no... simple logic, 2 statements.
I always lie. I'm lying to you.
that's how you kill a know-it-all computer....
Its fist conditional would evaluate that this second statement immediately follows from the first one, no?

I agree on backing up the MBR but what good would restoring FAT and not the files do?
"I'm sure we're all surprised that it's opening security holes for third parties, and violates a related court verdict (and several laws in general)."
No not really...
I'm sure everyone here is familiar with the concept of sarcasm.

Finding findings sounded fishy so they neatly fixed it.
Ive seen hard drives installed that failed after 27 years in service. Can that be said or even assumed for SSDs?
A better question might be "do we care if they still work after 27 years?".
At least you'll be running on the bare metal, not some virtualized piece of cloud. http://www.hector.ac.uk/

This is a non-peer-reviewed article ... and the arguments in this article are very very weak.
I wish they would hurry up and peer-review it so it would be correct.
Note that "and" is not the same as "thus".

Geeks take to coupling just like everything else they do, they either stumble at it, or become avid-amateurs until they succeed.
Being able to attract the opposite sex and being able to pass on your genes are not the same thing, though.
Pics or it didn't happen.
You must be new here.

Thank you, Captain Obvious.
to call it the mark of the beast?
Protect people three generations from now? WHO GIVES A FUCK? You won't be there. Nobody you know will be there. They don't matter.
Your genes might be there. If you're careful.

Even today amphetamines meet with this kind of nonsense.
Extraordinary claims necessitate extraordinary citations, I'm afraid.
