  1. Happily for the dev, software like that only deletes the files in the partition information, meaning it is possible to recover the data in most cases using some undelete programs. (stuff like https://www.easeus.com/data-re... ) I recommend you use the computer the least possible before recovering the files, as windows might overwrite them if used.

  3. More spendings on How the FCC Plans To Save the Internet By Destroying It · · Score: 1

    Net neutrality can be approached with two purposes:
    - Be neutral about what is allowed on internet (Block specific content)
    - Be neutral about who is allowed on internet (Block specific sites)
    Content distributors are interested in blocking specific content (MCAA, RIAA, ...), infrastructure providers are interested in blocking specific sites (netflix, ...): it is a battle for money.

    Human nature dictates us to be creative to reach our objectives.
    These laws will thus only accelerate the birth and growth of new networks, which their creators might surprisingly base on the shortcomings of what they miss in the existing one.
    As users will be motivated to search for alternatives, demand will be raising, and while TOR is only a "first generation" secure network and its use remains marginal, these laws will help these kind of networks to go mainstream.
    They will then try to block these networks, triggering further evolution, back to the chicken and the egg.

    On the meantime, illegal organisations will benefit from those new mainstream technologies, and our dear agencies might need to gear up a bit ^^
    Now for the funding: Taxes.

    And this is how you lost the war for money, even if you did not buy their content or bypass their architecture \o/

  4. One more reason to give them work on Australian Law Enforcement Pushes Against Encryption, Advocates Data Retention · · Score: 1

    If they want to have fun decrypting, lets at least give them a worthy challenge ;)

    I send myself files coded with over 10 different algorythms (use of a bash script to automatise crypt/decrypt.
    code is there: https://github.com/jupiter126/...

  5. Re:UN takeover must be stopped? on UN Takeover of Internet Must Be Stopped, US Warns · · Score: 4, Insightful

    US, EU, UN, China, Iran, CIA, RIAA, MPAA, your boss,... which of the above wouldn't want to control the internet (or at least what you do with it)? Controlling the internet is today's war, and most the precited don't care about your opinion and just want to enforce their convictions upon you.

    The real question is thus not weither they will fight until one is victorious, but how and when we will organise against their control.

    Actions like the "Pirate Party" tend to fight this trend in a legal way, but what governements and corporations should understand is that using steganography, create VPN's and mesh networks (ever setup a pirate box?) is only a consequence of their inability to find suitable legislation - and most likely a cause of their demisal.

  7. Why not both? on Smartphones More Dangerous Than Alcohol, When Driving · · Score: 1

    This study compares the cases, it would be interesting to do the correlation with drunk people using smartphones!

  8. Nice concept on Supercomputer Cools Off Using Groundwater · · Score: 1, Funny

    Use this massively in California, this should (long term) slightly raise the temperature (entropy) of the undergrounds, thus contributing to tectonic activity.

  9. Re:Spread the word on Ask Slashdot: What Can You Do About SOPA and PIPA? · · Score: 5, Informative

    One of the major problem is that the problem is mostly known by english speaking people. Here's a translation to french of an essai on SOPA by the Stanford Law Review, please pass it on to your french-speaking contacts: http://www.openskill.lu/ensopa-concernedfrsopa-tout-monde-est-concern/

    Thank you for this very interesting article. In order to help spreading the word, I did a french translation that can be found here

    It depends of the thuckness of your cotton! If you manage to get 35nm cotton threads, you would surely need more than 200 connections and might get a decent woolen computer!

  13. vpn time on HADOPI To Disconnect 60 People In France · · Score: 1

    People receiving their first advice probably will punish their children, kick intruders out of their wifi or look for alternatives either changing protocols (http, torrent, ftp, irc, ...) or hiding trough proxies, TOR or VPN's. People receiving their second advice are already more likely of knowing what's happening and why they receive it, they are also probably starting to consider paying an anomiser/VPN service. People disconnected after 3 warnings probably know what they are doing wrong and how they do it. They are pissed off from being cut off the internet, and most probably will try to seek revenge in some way against the one responsible for their cut off (ISP, political party, ...). Although I think this law is abusive, without wanting it, Hadopi is a great way to push users towards securing their communications and greatly contributes towards the concept of anonymity on internet on a large scale. Not only will geeks, corps, govs and criminals use 4096 bit rsa vpn's, but the average "joe" in his garage will now also want to use it. This is gonna be fun to decrypt : enjoy :p
