"As someone who makes a living doing forensic recovery from drives that have been wiped please keep propagating the one overwrite myth..."
You my anonymous friend, are a no good, stinking liar. There is no software method for reading the magnetic flux levels of the bits of a hard drive as obviously the drive firmware interprets that data itself and present the 1 or 0 to you, and you do not have an ETM that can be anything like precise enough for the density of modern hard drives, and even if you did how quickly could you read the data and what could you do with it? The bits are essentially stored as analogue data so apart from what the current setting is supposed to represent (1 or 0) how do you propose to get any useful information about the history of that bit? I can believe you recover data from drives people think they have "wiped", but if I overwrite every bit on my hard drive with garbage you are not going to get anything but garbage from it.
That is a myth based on a theoretical paper. The principle is good, but you would need to know the starting voltage of each bit and exactly how many times that bit had been written to. Overwrite your files once, and they're gone, for good.
Do you even live in the UK? The two main contributors to Gorillaz are Uk people, Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett. Their first album was huge and very popular several years ago, and with the release of the new single looks like they'll be just as popular again.
Probably not anymore than when they make an apple 23inch dislay, the number of transistors is the same in both (same res). In fact given that the size of each transistor is larger in this screen it probably has a lower reject rate than the apple displays.
No, you wouldn't. Despite what the TVLA might try to make you think if you actually ask them you dont need a TV license unless your TV is tuned in or you are watching programs uplinked from the UK. So a TV purely used for watching DVD, playing games or watching satellite TV intended for other countries does not require you to pay for a TV license.
I meant, in your original post you have said there was some degredation of the quality *outside* of the divx compression, and I was just challenging you to explain how that would be.
Please, explain to me how transferring the data from a DVD to the computer results in some loss of quality (considering that the divx encoding stage is yet to happen.) It exists as digital information on the DVD, it exists as the same digital information on my HD but somehow there was a magical degredation of the quality during the transfer?!
Do you want to know what that EULA means to me? Absolutely fuck all. Its not a legal document, ie I have yet to hear of a EULA ever being legally enforced. And even if I "break the licensing agreement", so what, its my damn hardware, i'll do what the hell I like to it and there nothing MS can do about it.
I know people often complain that people comment without reading the linked article. But the number of people going "umm, but its also available on PS2, GC etc" is mind numbing, it *actually says* in the blurb at the top "Xbox and other game systems". The reason the xbox got special focus being that it supports an HDTV res previously unused in games.
The NT kernel was actually pretty solid, until they decided to stick some drivers in Ring 0, ie kernel level so they could crash the machine, that was retarded. But apparently people wanted graphic performance on a server OS
A chipped XBOX is the coolest thing for this. With the chip you can multi region dvd player for dvd goodness (with RGB out and 5.1 digital sound with appropriate connectors) then stick xboxmediaplayer on it and play all your divxs, vcds, mp3s and loads more, either streaming it from another machine using the built in networking, or dump them on the harddrive (built in ftp server in the evoX bios). Not forgetting that you can put bigger hard drives in it too.
Fool, in no way can buying an Xbox be construed as renting, you pay money for it, you own it. There is no way Microsoft can take it back from you, you didnt sign any agreement when you purchased it and there isnt one in the box.
So in fact its exactly like buying a car, and the car analogy works better still, buying a cat replacement may mean that your car would put out illegal amounts of emissions, doesnt stop them being sold. Understand?
RDRAM is now at PC1066 not PC1600 ie: they moved the FSB from 400 to 533. DDR is on the way out as well soon, its not vapour, there are chipsets available, will be interesting to see how that shapes up, other problem with RDRAM is the latency and cost or production, the traces have to be very exact due to the high speed the bus runs at.
Who the fuck called these mashups, these songs have been around for ages, and are actually known as "synergy" mixes. But yes, they do usually work out better than the originals.
Uc : Universal, especially for children. R18 : Restricted 18, for hardcore sex films. Only for videos and they can only be supplied by licensed sex shops.

SHOOP DA WOOP ?

Not for human consumption? You are kidding right? Do a quick google search for "ketamine human" and get educated.

Umm, you do know maths isnt just about crunching numbers?

Thats completely wrong and you know it, there is a specific exemption that allows backups of software to be made.
It's called 'legally binding contractual agreements'.
You mean those things you dont have to sign and dont exist between microsoft and yourself when you purchase an xbox?
Cretin, its installed in a Rover 220 Turbo coupe. A lot nicer than an old 400, and also rather quick. 200bhp 0-60 in 6.2 14.9 1/4 mile stock.
You are mistaken, an HP LaserJet is indeed a laser printer.
Really? So the 2 Pentium II Xeon 400s I have here dont count?

I dont know about you but i'd much rather watch a 720p signal than a 1080i one, interlacing make it look like pap.

There are actually a couple more certificates:
