My old man an my uncle were both drag racers using 100% ethanol fuel and I have never heard of ethanol corroding an engine
The problem, as I understand it, is that ethanold *is* more corrosive, but it is possible to build the engine so that it doesn't have problems with it. Your alcohol dragsters were built from the ground up to use that fuel and so have no problems with it. Street engines are *not* built to handle ethanol and will suffer from it degrading parts. If you check your car manual, it most likely states that fuel used should not be over 10% ethanol. I remember when they used to state that fuel containing *any* ethanol was not recommended.
...an R/C plane. There are any number of magazines and books describing the construction of such, covering many different types for many different needs. Any electronic project you might wish to mount on the plane would be its own project and more an electronics problem then a problem in constructing the plane (the weight would have to be strictly controlled, of course); cameras are a popular one and you could probably find many plans, notes, and tips in the above mentioned R/C resources.
The problem was, the guy wasn't dialing 911. Emergency services wanted to dial *him* in hopes that if they could get him on the line they could find out where he was. The phone company wasn't legally required to allow the phone to receive incoming calls, and refused to do it.
To be fair, it sounds like the defect occurred AFTER QA approved and released the gold master to replication.
So instead of their QA being stone blind, the problem is that the gold master can get altered after QA approves and releases it--in other words, their release process is fundamentally broken. That doesn't seem much better.
I'm afraid you're the person having problems with definitions. Vi is very easy to use; it can be difficult to learn (IMHO, it depends on your mind set and willing to do a little reading first). Word is easy to learn, but after you've run into the first dozen brick walls or so, you find out it is not easy to use.
As someone once said, "UNIX is very user-friendly. It's just very particular about who it makes friends with."
Having (a built-in, proprietary) version control is not the same thing as working well with (the project-wide external) version control (that we were already using). Can I track and merge changes with CVS? Git? Subversion? Well, we'll be in touch, then.

I had guessed that "DNS" was "Did not sail", but after some Googling, found out it means "Did not start"--the boat came to the start area but did not actually start the race. "DNC" is "Did not come"--the boat never showed up at all.
Wow. $500. Kiddo, this type of data recovery typically costs TEN TIMES that. You can't find anybody willing to do it for a 90% discount. What a surprise.
You can wipe a disk with "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda" and nobody will get anything from it after that
Sure they can. It takes some specialized equipment and some know-how, but it can be done. The problem is that magnetic bits retain a faint impression of their previous setting. If you just do a one pass writing of zeros, somebody with sensitive magnetometers used correctly will be able to pull off just about everything that was on that disk.
Anyway, hard disks are just not worth enough to take these risks. Destroy the disks and do it in-house.
No argument on this one; the fact that erasing your disks *isn't* so cut-and-dried makes it an even better idea.
"enough to defeat all but the most expensive cryptanalysis"
Or you can just take a ten-pound sledgehammer to them and be sure. If the data on them is of any importance at all, the pathetic prices they'll fetch on Ebay are in no way worth it.
That would be the pusher robot. He is malfunctioning. Trust the shover robot; he will protect you from the terrible secret of space. Do you have stairs in your house?

Of course it wouldn't! 'Cause, in the U.S., you can just give $3 million to the judge's election campaign!
Recursion is recursion (see: Recursion).
Simply disclosing the meeting could very well violate the NDA. It depends on exactly what the NDA required you to not disclose.

Because, of course, if you have A/C, then you don't have any liquids flowing.
You have obviously never had the joy of having to deal with a data center where one of the A/C condenser lines broke.
