Yep, worked for me too many times, about 75% of the time I would say. Just put it in the freezer for about 2 hours in a zip lock freezer bag (1 hour gets you 2-4 minutes, 2 hours gets you about 7-10). Dont bother putting it in bios, that is a waste of boot time (as it tends to probe it too much), just say no drive is there in the bios. Boot on linux based system and have this one in as a second drive (replace the cdrom drive or the like), mount the dying drive under/mnt and copy what you need to the linux filesystem. I normally go for Documents\ and\ Settings first as it contains the My Documents and the like for all users, and perhaps other things after. Once you do get what you want on your good linux drive, you have all the time in the world to pick through the data. If you plan to refreeze, do it quickly before the condensation causes too much damage, I'd say freeze for 2 hours, access it for 7 minutes, freeze again immediantly for 2 hours, then get another 7 minutes.
I usually have all my data on the first freeze, but I do a ls -lR >/tmp/listing.txt of the drive when its first hooked up in a second console, when I am done and then do a refreeze anyway and while its feezing I look over my listing I made on the linux system to see if I missed anything I might want/need.
Why do I use linux...well for one thing linux don't give up on retries as fast as windows, and it boots faster, so you have more time to get files off.
Two splits in 5 years look good to me, and no big drops, I wish I had bought the stock back when it first leveled off. Nice feature that compare option under the interactive graph, it shows that microsoft is doing quite well.
That is the most useless crap I have ever heard of, I can't believe they spent research money on that, its gotta have a back door kill recipient scent or something. Well I am probably biased as I have turned off messaging on my service because I don't want them popping up and annoying me. I find that if its important they will take time to make a voice call.
PS: run sync after you do this to write the changes, and then do a reboot. The great thing about this method is you do not need to have a cdrom, floppy or anything else but the hard disks own boot manager...very handy if your out in the field.
And yes, I know it will take a really long time to crack with the hardware that we know about...but if they don't do it exactly right, or if the government somehow knows something that might be in the text, and/or if they didn't use the right algorithm, it might just be possible.
Not to mention, if they did want to crack a PGP key, they would be able to use some of the fastest available, all they gotta say is they need it to crack a terrorist email.
You're was suppose to be on a line by itself, but slashdot put it all on the same line (forgot to change it to text formatted). At any rate, that sounded so much like my condescending teacher that I had to respond. The fact does still remain however.
That AC is still an idiot, regardless of my grammatical error, and you're an ass hat.
I know I am gonna get flamed for this, but they said web programming, like its the only game out there. Sure its not web 2.0 friendly, and sure most web script kiddies don't use it...mainly because it don't hold their hand, but its far from dead when your are needing to squeeze every last ounce of power out of your hardware, or even that other 25-30% of it.
Oh yea, and they need to make sure they got money set aside to pay for animal contraceptives, spade or neutering before they get us all on spamalicious meals. Once we stop eating them the animal population will rise, and thus conditions for the animals will worsen, food will become scarce, disease will become rampant. If they don't work that out first, we will have to start killing them just to thin out their population, and that will be oh so much better for them.
I guess they are going for the clothes off his back? Or maybe his cardboard home, or perhaps his blankey?
I know, the RIAA could have used the money they paid their lawyers to sue him, and gave that to the homeless shelter
in his area...now that would have really been something pleasantly unexpected.
Well not really, we can always boycott china and kill off their income...its kinda nice, we keep them in line that way. As far as the debt, a fool and their money are soon parted.
See we have this here new fangled linux based firewall (actually its pretty old) that simply ignores ping and traceroute requests...among others...who doesn't these days.
Yes, and this makes me wonder if his crack was a futile attempt to make the folks bring back his favorite of the two formats. He inadvertently helped put the nails in HD DVD's coffin, now hes trying to make up for it. Well its too little too late I think, but its interesting and he probably had the crack all along for bluray, he probably just thought that releasing the HD one would drum up more interest in the format and kill off bluray....in the end it ovviously backfired.
$325 for each steak dinner, what was it half a cow for each. I certainly hope they had lots of vintage wine with it or something like that. About the wiki entry, who cares its just a community website, its not like he edited a real encyclopedia...are they fishing for more visitors or something?

I think hes referring to the start/stop bits and other data framing overhead.
OK, but I was referring to the summary using him as an example of a hacker that was not young, really had little to do with the article contents.
Morris was around 23 when he created his worm, and while he wasn't a teen, that was still a pretty young age.

You don't even have to do that, do this
Boot linux with the options init=/bin/bash
for instance, from lilo (or grub, or whatever), say the booting kernel is named MyKernel
MyKernel init=/bin/bash
you get this, a good old root prompt:
#
Now mount it writable if you want:
mount -o remount,rw /
Now you can change the password, or whatever you like. Nice to have if you forget what your root is...do need console access to do it though.
I just did...thanks for their /16, its blocked so let them enjoy

I agree, I really like AJAX, it keeps my floors squeaky clean, and leaves a faint lemony scent.

You're Ms West (my Jr High English teacher), is that you?
Oops, your right. Surely they jest.
AC, your an idiot.

I was worried about global warming, now I know this event will cool the earth off, for the next dominate species.
I recall reading about this one before here...slow news day? I think its detectable in the latest updates also.
