  1. Re:Hardware discrepencies on Reviving A Dead Hard Drive The Hard Way · · Score: 1

    I found ti funny because of the quote

    "I look at some businesses that do hard drive recovery - the prices are exhorbitant! I could buy 2 replacement drives for those prices."

    and in the end, he had to buy 2 drives,
    i wonder if the recovery prices inclued
    a new drive??

    though the end of the artical,
    sugest to me at lest that he borrowed
    a new drive from his brothers computer
    shop, opend it, mucked around with it
    and then returned it, remind me not
    to shop there

    Basic first rule of security,

    American McGees Alice?

    That was good,
    it seems the fan sights around,

    I though that Alice as a strong yet
    disturbed person was verry well portrade,
    and not as some week little child.

    you are too right, infact lets expand this theory..

    not too many supercomputers are being sold
    these days, hell the major companys are lucky
    when they sell them, they should stop thinking
    about being payed for the worht of the computers

    he is not talking about one person,
    but rather a whole department..

    probly upwards of 30 years working
    at that company, working out who can
    help you solve problem X, which company
    creates problem Y and how doing Z makes
    an extra %5 profit over all..

    any one member of a well oiled team
    can drop out and be replaced by others
    pitching in to make up for the slight
    loss, but to replace a whole team is
    extreamly costly, you dont want to
    brake that chain so to speek.

    Hell, im only a Dishpig(kitchen hand)
    but ive been doing it for 8 years in
    the one company, not even the ppl who
    have worked with me for that time can
    keep up with me, just as i cant do there
    job at 100%..

    If i need time off, its a little bit of
    trouble, everyone pitches in and they get
    though the day, wiht the wages for that
    day being 130%..

    same with most of the other long term staff,
    theres 5 of us in total who have been there
    longer then 5 years..

    but if we all go out in one go, it would be
    chaos.. its at a state where 2 of us cant have
    the same day off as it costs the company too
    much to replace us
