Has nobody ever heard of multi-pass zeroing out? In like 10 years tops we'll have the technology to read the 0's and 1's off magnetic hard drive platter shards and there's a rumor that the technology exists right now. Run DBAN or Killdisk and you're never, ever, ever getting that data back ever. Although, it is rather amusing that they destroyed a macbook pro.
I don't even get why people bother anymore. You can barely use my credit card outside of my state let alone another country and even online it's protected with an interception password for any new vendors. It's basically impossible to steal and use my credit card number and it's just a basic, nothing special Visa. So yeah, it's not that Instagram likes are worth so much, it's that credit cards are so useless.
"In 1930, the magazine Modern Mechanix presented a plan for a "unique bus of the future (that would) duplicate the speed of railroads"
Oh yeah, I remember that one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNixDlRoMvA
Unless it's just a static JPG inside of a program window that says "WHY ARE YOU USING WINDOWS 8, IDIOT?!" then why bother? It's enabling/encouraging Microsoft. It's right up there with Google releasing a new maps app for iOS5 right when people were getting mad.
Cheating at a pretend test? Now THAT is low. Seriously, the only thing protecting us from terrorists and sociopaths in the FBI or whatever is a polygraph? We're fucked.
Just build teleporters! By the time they get this hyperloop thing running in like 2020 someone will have invented teleporters and then their business model collapses.
"this study didn't find out what types of soda the children had consumed"
WHAT?! What a pointless, useless study. Blame the sugar? Caffeine? Bubbles? Preservatives? The can or bottle?
"Personally, I’ve never seen anything like this."
Me neither! 32 different domains worth of javascript libraries on one site! This even stalled out my i5 for a bit. A site like this doesn't come around just any old time. Definitely an amazing spectacle.
Wow, how devastating! What will anyone do now?
Don't worry, slashmydots to the rescue! I've developed a workaround.

Whew, that was a close one. I was up all night developing that one.
Damn right! This should be a documentary about how he tried over and over and over to bankrupt the company but just couldn't do it. His unhealthy obsession that was a blatant mental problem relating to both off buttons and active cooling aka fans was the biggest detriment to the company ever. There was a 20 year history of confusing and difficult to use devices that nobody can figure out how to turn on or off. Then you can't forget product after product overheating. His arrogant unwillingness to work with other computer platforms also almost crushed it. Then he refused to buy chips from anyone actually good until the board just about threatened to shoot him in order to get Intel in there. They should title this movie "The Miracle" and have it be about a company that overcame great adversity to crawl out from under the rule of the crazy person running it. All this "visionary" crap is enough to make me throw up.
Our head purchaser gave 2 weeks and they fired him same day. Now when I leave, they're getting zero notice. That's how that works. I hope they have fun with that one because I'm the sole IT staff and we have 6 servers, 40 desktops, and complete idiots working there.
Almost every iPhone on record has been more likely to shatter its screen than the one before it. Apple went from 1st in lowest malfunction rates to 6th from 2007 to 2011. The new ipad is heavier, runs hotter, and gets worse battery life than the one before it. This isn't exactly a new pattern that the battery in the new air is inferior. Everything Apple is going downhill.
So...it's easier to determine the encryption key if already have the unencrypted version of a file? Yeah, that's real helpful. You don't really need the key if you already have a decrypted version. Just don't ever leave a decrypted version around and even then, don't use the same key for each file. Problem solved.
Except they figured this out just in time for quantum computers to ruin all encryption.
Yeah, they shipped out a rather small percentage of them but they're on youtube and reputable review sites and stuff so it's true. It is 10x over their wattage estimate but 2x the speed approximately. But yeah, Asian chipmakers lie more than politicians so no shocker there.
This is the problem with investors that read financial magazines and political news and company press releases and reports. Just pick up the fucking product they make and use it. That's all I need to know about where a company is going and that's at least a 6 month jump on any real results and real reports, etc. But no, mister clever investor knows everything with his 6 monitors and a dozen paid news tip conglomeration feeds. This guy should be suing himself for being such an idiot and get a real job. The same goes for anyone who invested in Facebook or Apple lately. They can waaahhh all the way to the homeless shelter for all I care because they deserve it for not having one clue about the actual industry they're putting money into.
The only way they'll learn that this system is overzealous, non-working crap is their pocketbooks. Time to sue the hell out of them for downtime losses.
Actually it's so expensive because their budgets are so huge because their income is so huge because there is no supply and demand. There's more like supply and I don't give a damn, it's insurance money.
That is not remotely accurate in any way. 875 "computers" as in slightly above average PCs would equal the hashing power of one bitcoin ASIC miner, which runs at 30 watts.
I don't even need to see a business card to tell you who this is and what they're doing. It's not even an insurance company. It's a borderline investment company. They group people into groups, usually 50, and if someone has a significant claim that exceeds the premiums of the entire group added together, every single claim from anyone else in it is automatically denied regardless of ANY circumstances. Then you have to threaten to sue and get a 3rd party auditor up their ass to get them to cover it. The same thing happened to me. They were on the hook for $8 after my copay from a one time injury and they claimed it was a per-existing condition. Yes, loading out a band at a concert on stage crew and hurting my back was a per-existing condition. Mmhmm. This is why everyone should stick to larger, more reputable companies. I'm dropping those assholes at the end of this month.

"Fuck security, MONEY MONEY MONEY!"
They're the most expensive app market to submit to by the way.
What they meant to say was "That report is received by an intern who doesn't give a damn because we don't take security seriously."

Let me paraphrase: "Sorry, we were all sniffing really freaky McAfee-brand bath salts while we came up with that number"

I have a feeling that Apple and Samsung's drones might shoot at each other.
He's gonna haunt the shit out of them now
