Shouldn't it go through every week wipe anything over a week old?
That would be extra wear and tear, what's wrong with just overwriting data when the HD is full? How about you, the customer (most likely a company), figure out what exactly you are buying before using the *blackbox* to handle your *sensitive information*. However, I do agree that it should be easy to wipe the HD, if it isn't that's some bullshit.
No, you just aren't a "convicted" criminal. You are still a criminal in the definition of the word. I break many unjust laws and I don't fault you for doing the same. Gandhi was a criminal, sort of takes the sting out of the word doesn't it?
'Being an involved parent' isn't some kind of magic bullet.
Actually, it is. There are a fucking TON of parents out there that throw fast food and TV at their kids and that's where the parenting stops. Such parenting causes a lot of problems.
So you seem to think that if there are aliens capable of traveling vast distances in space, they would be incapable of living on anything other than some big ass rock? Planets really aren't that useful, it's the stars that are useful. If it's energy the aliens are after, then there isn't anything very interesting about our corner of the galaxy.
AKA you're too lazy to look it up and educate yourself. Here you go you lazy bum. Now what do you think the chances are that none of those 599 additives enhances the addictiveness of a cigarette? Notice caffeine in there? Isn't that addictive?
If you smoke enough of it you will experience withdrawal symptoms when you go without. It takes around half an oz. per day for most people to actually get addicted. I know of 0 people who smoke that much, that would be a very expensive addiction.
Wrong. Cig companies knowingly add chemicals that make cigarettes more addictive. More addictive = more money, duh. "Easy" has nothing to do with it, "money" does.
Make sure you mention terrorism, because even lightning has a higher chance to strike you than getting killed by a terrorist. In fact, I'm gonna go ahead and assume you are retarded because you said something about terrorism.
Yea the fact that flash is a horribly inefficient language is not an "apparent reason". Fuck wasting battery life on CPU intensive flash bullshit ads and apps. Is there even a flash app out there that you couldn't live without having on your iPhone? You couldn't just wait until you get on a real computer that doesn't have severe hardware limitations?
WTF is this horrible argument. "Because Apple wants to make more money they decided to ban flash and that's bad!" That still isn't an argument that any company should be able to sue an OS vendor to allow their format to be executable. By the way, you are the one with blinders on if you think flash is good for a device like the iPhone. It is an extremely inefficient language and would suck up battery life like hell.
You know about those methods, but you don't consider them simple? His point is, if you have a clue you would be able to create your own batch update system in an hour. If you were really on the ball it could take 15 minutes. Honestly it seems like a trivial problem for a sys admin to be complaining about.
Only one problem with your rosy prediction of the future. It has been apparent for decades now that we need to "wean ourselves off oil" yet our oil consumption rate has only gone up.
Nice to see you still don't know how to read a post. Here's a hint, when someone says "The point is..." he will follow those words with the point he is trying to get across. My argument is not that the newspaper looks "too good", my POINT is that a newspaper is going to be hard pressed to "break" the story. There are a lot of low probability assumptions you have to make in order to believe that the newspaper broke the story. First, not a single soul at the newspaper thought it would be a good idea to let the mayor know that there is an alien invasion going on. Second, those who witnessed the alien invasion never escalated their testimony to anyone other than the newspaper. Third, the newspaper decides to withhold this breaking news until their paper is completely ready (i.e. they don't rush out a preliminary pamphlet that breaks the story).
Jesus are you daft? If there is an alien invasion what makes you think the newspaper is going to take its time and make a nicely put together newspaper and deliver it the same way they do every day? The point is, if there is an alien invasion, the newspaper is going to be hard pressed to "break" the story.
It was a joke. I probably should have said "I know English isn't your first language, but..." If I really was a grammar nazi I would have modded you down instead of even posting, but I'm not. Was just trying to make a joke, but I can see why it rubbed you the wrong way.
Post splits its first sentence between subject and body? Check.
Post capitalizes the first letter in the body even though it's in the middle of a sentence? Check.
Post starts multiple sentences with a conjunction? Check.
Post misses punctuation? Check.
Post uses "off course" instead of "of course"? Check.
Post uses "was" but means "were"? Check.
In short, your post has some grammatical errors:).
That, there's a ton of families out there ruined by abusive jerks with drug problems that probably should be behind bars for life or at least taken out of society.
Hmmm...like drunk drivers? Yea let's make alcohol illegal. How did that go again? Do you get it yet? How hard is it to see that prohibition doesn't fucking work?

No one eats "healthy foods" because what we eat is always dead first, therefore the food does not "possess good health". Some of us eat "healthful foods" however. This mix up is so common that dictionary.com even lists healthful as an alternate definition of healthy (and vice versa), which is ridiculous.

What the hell, insightful? Use a magnet, wtf is wrong with you.

Heh. "I didn't become a criminal as I grew up." Go read the book of laws for your city/state/country. You'll quickly find out we are all criminals.
I don't really know what the point was in that sentence, but "it" referred to the same thing all three times.
So you seem to think that if there are aliens capable of traveling vast distances in space, they would be incapable of living on anything other than some big ass rock?

From the movie "The Ten", here's the clip
healthy: adj. possessing or enjoying good health
healthful: adj. conducive to health
No one eats "healthy foods" because what we eat is always dead first, therefore the food does not "possess good health". Some of us eat "healthful foods" however. This mix up is so common that dictionary.com even lists healthful as an alternate definition of healthy (and vice versa), which is ridiculous.
