I'd agree that for information such as top secret documents, drilling a hole is probably insufficient.
However, for the average person, it's good enough as it raises the bar for recovery beyond simply plugging it it or simply repairing a part of the drive. Don't know why you need a product for it though, a 1/4" drillbit will go through the aluminum backside of most harddrives like butter.
I don't know about where you live, but the credit card companies/banks are required by law to cover the costs minus fifty dollars where I live, which they usually waive.
They could refuse to offer credit under those conditions though, it's obviously still making them money at this point.
I mentioned that you would only recover *some* of the energy, and that it would simply extend your range but that with a sufficiently big tank, it wouldn't be worth the extra expense.
Of course a wireless phone can sound as good as a wired one, just some compromises were made in order to fit the number of phone calls into the same spectrum.
I'm not sure why people are making this logical jump from "even when driving" to "produce all your hydrogen from driving".
Just as in a Prius you could use regenerative braking to help you create some hydrogen to help you extend your range.
I'm not sure it makes a lot of sense that way either, the added components to put that system in the car surely would cost more than a reasonably sized hydrogen tank that you could refill at home or at work or at a hydrogen station.
I love how they intimate that their 3Mb L2 Cache is somehow better than the 512Mb Cache in the Barcelona. It very well may be better in their particular CPU, but functionality wise the two products may perform similarly.
The AMD HT transport product has also been on the market for years, and in real computing (non desktop) applications has serious advantages over the Core2 and other Intel CPUs. Intel's solution/redesign for a similar feature isn't even on the market yet, while AMD's is a mature product.
I also like how they talk up power consumption on their CPUs, while leaving out the 100W hair dryer that is typically their memory controller, whereas the AMD memory controller is included in the CPU and in their CPU wattage.
The only way to test these things is at the wall socket, complete systems.
If through something like OLPC we can encourage higher education, even programming (even Windows!), open up an entirely new market to a skill set, the long term benefit to the economy of those countries is enormous.
I dunno, sometimes he says something useful, I kinda liked his round table television show.
But he's got to say something every week/day/month/whatever, so he just goes with whatever is in the news at that moment.
Greenpeace is just doing the same thing they did with Apple a couple of months ago. Trashing the big names gets them news coverage.
At the same time it's good to hold people's feet to the flames from time to time. Perhaps we'll see some positive spin from the games companies about how they do business, or even some reforms, who knows.
I love how you didn't even enlighten us a bit by naming the bands. Heres your chance.
It's cool, gold and platinum records, bravo. For some other posters in this thread, if you were in Canada like I am, gold and platinum numbers are about 10 times smaller. But so is the population, so it sort of evens out, other than the money.
Great reply, I didn't follow the entire thing to the end of it. I was just saying that people felt that they were legally entitled. Treating Flickr like the worlds largest clipart site seems a bit sleezy though.
You miss the whole length discussion where this model release business is country/jurisdiction specific and they probably felt they didn't need one since they don't use them generally speaking where they are located.
No it isn't. Corporations attach conditions to their sales all the time. If you buy a CD, you aren't allowed to copy it and sell the copies, even though it is your property. All sorts of goods are sold with conditions, and people freely agree to those conditions when they buy them. Uh, that's copyright law not the corporations using shrink wrap licensing.
Although they may include shrink wrap licensing on software, I thought that it was largely untested in court. I seem to recall a recent story about Autocad.
I think the University of Alberta poker bot probably does a good job. They played some real players, and almost won, although they did give the players some of the same information they were using to even the odds a bit. I think they are improving and will get better over time, but they aren't using their bot to play in online casinos:)

Wow, this reminds me of 2006.

Except in 2006, he was suing them.
Unless the drive is relatively new, if it contained business information, it's simply easier to destroy it.

And load the system up with a serious amount of RAM please, like 16 x 2GB sticks of memory.

I'm sure it'll be really funny with the President logging into Facebook and Hotmail to send email to his kids.
Via Google. And beat the editor that allowed this to get to the front page for me.

And the Xen guys want it that way. They don't want you using their trademark.
Sounds odd to me, but that's their business.
RSync also has this, tools like dirvish take advantage of it.
I agree it's jargon, but not so much marketing jargon as regular retail/business jargon.
Stock Keeping Unit.
Those were all great replies, I have no idea why some of them are scored at (-1) though.
But haven't I read a number of stories just this week that Ocean Shipping and Cement Production are bigger CO2 emitters than airlines?

Maybe if we could just convince them to install the Liberation fonts instead:

Wasn't that movie review about Denise Richards? :)
Merry Christmas.
