We just hired 30 new police officers. They aren't everywhere, and they cost a lot more than a million dollars. My wife spent tonight trying to convince me to abandon our house and live in a friend's basement. I'm sorry that your anarchist pigheadedness screams for absolute solutions, but you are simply foolish, and your political analogs in my city have helped destroy my life.
Claiming that the reason that there are so many shootings on my street is because the real bad thugs who were keeping everyone intimidated into proper behavior got put away isn't the most absurd thing I've heard this year, but it's pretty close.
Your other example also implies that crime is only crime if it's observed and recorded, which is also ridiculous.
Wait, you're against 'meddling'?! Screw you and the horse you rode in on. Give the police the tools they need to do their jobs effectively and hold them accountable for that use. You don't have any more right to privacy on a public street than the kids shooting at each other on my street do, and that sure doesn't mean that everyone gets to be anonymous and invisible.
How does increasing arrests not reduce crime? Are only non-criminals being arrested?! Is there some supply/demand curve for street violence that will turn previously model citizens into thugs if the thug supply dwindles?
You are right, the only people who should be afraid are the ones who try to be decent citizens. It would be rude of us to wish inconvenience on violent thugs.
I ask this because my neighborhood is in the midst of a fresh gang fight of some sort, people are dying on the sidewalks near my house and my wife is scared enough that she wants me to abandon the unsellable house and start over elsewhere. Cameras seem like the most cost effective solution to pinpoint shooters.
There have been twelve drive by shootings within three blocks of my house in the last month. A highschool student died last week on the sidewalk two blocks over and one block down, and bullets have been ending up in children's bedrooms. No one is talking to the police because they'll get shot if they do. The idea that freedom is only lost to government is moronic, and right now my neighborhood has lost a hell of a lot more freedom to random thugs that make people scared to walk down the sidewalk than they would to some cameras watched by people the thugs can't find to kill.
Don't like cameras? Find a better fix for the violence problem or sit down and shut up.
At least now the libelous comments will be ranked below their penchant for frivolous litigation. I can't see that having any impact on their job-finding.
I can't find any accounts of anyone failing either. Generally when universities do research it gets published either way. I wonder if that means that...just a sec, someone's knocking at my dooCARRIER LOST
Has anyone ever gone to Mars or brought peace to the middle east? Surely if this has been possible for a long time it must be possible for you to point to two or three reliable articles where someone has done this.
'Freely available on Google' isn't anything like an equivalent set to 'possible', and things that are merely theoretical now may well be trivial a decade from now. Data that needs to stay secure for the long term can't depend on it being unrecoverable due to current technical limitations; that died with DES. I doubt it would be hard at all to lift data off a 30 year old drive; sure, credit card numbers from the 1970s aren't too useful now, but some things might be.
It's not available as a commercial recovery service now, and I doubt it's practical with readily available consumer grade technology, but that's not relevant for long term security. It's an entirely plausible process that's just going to get easier with time, and if something still needs to be secret in thirty years it probably won't be. Security isn't always about "can't read this for now", sometimes it's about "can't read this ever."
56 bit DES keys used to be considered secure by some people because an impractical quantity of effort would be required to crack them. That's no longer the case, and it doesn't seem reasonable to assume that just because it's still hard to read faded bits from a 1996 era drive that it always will be. I bet I could pick the erased bits off the 14" 1979 era platters hanging on my wall with a magnifying glass and tweezers.;-)
At the seminar where this paper was discussed, one of the comments was from someone that did steps 1-4 regularly as the only reliable way to delete important data. I'll agree 5) is a bit over the top.;-)
"Poison" is just a reference to drinking the Kool-Aid.
"Cripple" is much more literal. There's a strong contingent in the open source community that prefers no solution to a solution that's closed, and this leads to systems that could work much better but don't, for reasons of pure ideological stubbornness.
"Ideology" isn't bad in general, this one is bad specifically. There's a reason my mom runs Ubuntu instead of Debian. Ubuntu actually works out of the box for people that don't know what the difference between open source and free software is and don't care.

I dare you to make less sense.

Why should the people doing drive-by shootings on my street have a right to privacy?
Why?

Which MIPS emulator? If it was spim, I'll yell at the guy who did the Windows port. ;-)
It is entirely status. The age labels on whiskey refers to how long it was in the barrel for.
Some judges in Pennsylvania tell me that you've both knocked your strawmen out of the park. Any power can and will be corrupted.
S'ok, mine's 4 digit and I didn't know about those either.
Prime would be awesome.
Well, in my experience, female cats tend to be fairly sharp, while male cats tend to be pretty dumb. Maybe you've only had males?
My experience has been that they're all fairly sharp. Maybe you've only had declawed?
Impact, sure, but for a lawyer I don't know if it would be positive or negative.

Exactly.

Welcome to the state of the art, circa '96.

Or just use 'shred', which is part of GNU coreutils.
This is incorrect and has been for a long time.

One and two are not sufficient for data that someone may be motivated to try to recover, and haven't been for quite a while. See:
