The "airport model" means that "normal" or base service is degraded into total uselessness, and you have to pay to add functionality until the service is no longer useless and/or intensely unpleasant. This may or may not be cheaper than what you had before... but you can't complain because you opened the door for a-la-carte pricing, which will inevitably be used to increase profits.
That works perfectly with CD's, DVD's, etc. I've never tried it with floppies, but it sounds promising. Hard drives might require getting the platters above the curie point, making a regular oven more reliable. I'm not sure if microwaves will penetrate a hard drive enclosure; all of mine have been made of metal but I'm sure this depends on dozens of other factors.
However, I think most people here are assuming that making any sort of media unreadable means altering its magnetic properties, and that's not true if the people investigating have deep pockets.
tl;dr
don't underestimate the capabilities of a forensics lab with an electron microscope made for examining disk platters.
From Mercury, one of the ORIGINAL manufacturers that did everything possible to prevent owners from doing their own maintenance. My grandfather, who raced boats in the 50's and 60's, complained about this his whole life.
In related news, the FAA has just cleared 4 companies (Trimble Navigation Limited, VDOS Global, Clayco Inc. and Woolpert Inc.) to use drones commercially
I guess now we know who pushes those "news stories" about all the near-catastrophic near-misses with all of the non-(Trimble Navigation Limited, VDOS Global, Clayco Inc. and Woolpert Inc.) drones.
I think the core of what you're saying is true, you're just overgeneralizing. It's not just "white males" who tend to have decision making positions, it's "fit, good looking, tall white males" who discriminate against EVERYONE who is not a fit, good looking, tall white male. Of course, not 100% true, but true often enough to hurt and anger in other than just AA's. And possibly even more prominent since it's rarely against the law to discriminate against people who are short or fat, or can't run 2 miles in 14 minutes.
Now my real issue are the companies who make job requirements so select, in essence they are trying to get the same guy that left.
Nah, they're posting the job to meet EEO requirements. They already know who they're going to hire, and the posted job description consists of HIS EXACT SKILLSET, often down to the version of tools, plus a few "required" skillsets for other stuff NOBODY has ever heard of. 100% effective as far as I know.
Leaning passable people skills is more akin to learning passable football skills. If you have some talent, you can certainly learn to do better with practice and coaching. For those without talent, no matter how much you practice you'll never be any good, and as for finding a coach, good luck.
And as for "talent" wrt people skills what that really means is "good genes" just as with sports. F'rinstance, try teaching people skills to somebody with Aspergers.
If you are turning north from I-10 onto I-65, or if you are on I-65 and turning east or west onto I=10, you have already failed at taking the quickest was from anywhere to anywhere else.
Cataracts happen at more common energy levels. Not as hard to deal with these days, but for the megawatt radar techs back in the 60's and 70's it was a pretty big problem.
Should be allowed into any certification exam. Made until the early 2000's, so it should be relatively cheap and readily available. Will last the rest of your life if you don't do something stupid.
Engineering cred. I bought mine used on ebay a couple of decades ago and it's still selling for as much or more than what I paid for it.
Off topic but I'm curious: how did you get a five-digit member number? How long ago did you FIRST open your account? 5 digits would mean that unless someone intervened you would have to have been a slashdotter for something close to 15 years. Since by your comment I would guess you're no more than 17, you would have started reading/. when you were two? Set us straight here, lad.
Heroin is actually good at what it was designed for by Bayer labs back in the early 1900's. Pharmaceutical grade heroin of known potency and knowledgeably prescribed dosage is very safe, you can take it your whole life. Addicts die because they are forced to buy on the black market without medical supervision.
considering from the standpoint of police resources, they are going to go after the sellers and big buyers first
In your imagination. Being essentially lazy publicity seeking morons, they always go for the lowest hanging fruit, i.e. the ones they can round up with the least effort. That MAY be the biggest dealers, but, ah, probably not.

Yet with only a little sleight of hand, the jurors won't know the difference. The chance of DPR (dread or dead) being found innocent are zero.
"There was a study done recently" that shows anything you want it to.
Please don't write something like this as Anon. I want to mod it up but don't waste mod points on anonymous posts.
thank you for your consideration
You missed the point... again.
The "airport model" means that "normal" or base service is degraded into total uselessness, and you have to pay to add functionality until the service is no longer useless and/or intensely unpleasant. This may or may not be cheaper than what you had before... but you can't complain because you opened the door for a-la-carte pricing, which will inevitably be used to increase profits.
Please define "diversity".
Quoted or not quoted. (And explain the difference.)

Intelligence officers ... changed their communications methods
So they foolishly abandoned whatever they were doing to make a point and it's biting them in the ass. Waaaah. Let the stupidest lose.

Big fleas have little fleas on their backs, which bite 'em. And so on and so on, ad infinitum.
inb4 ebay blah blah blah ... it probably wasn't ebay since ebay was started after I bought it. carry on.

The truth hurts, newbie?
Low ID's don't mean anything any more. They're obviously selling them or giving them to "friends" now. Go find a low ID and check out the history.
Did you say sax and violins?
