Even some pretty old ships have secrets even to this day.
Could it be mainly psychological value in protecting these "secrets"? As in "our technology is so freaking advanced that even 30 year old tech is still beyond our enemies". I'm just saying - there is some value in at least pretending there are secrets.
...will be having a serious look at this option as a way of cutting costs
No kidding. My stomach turns and the blood vessels in my eyes almost pop whenever I hear of yet another add-on we can buy from VMware that completes another piece of the puzzle. It's insanely expensive. You bet your ass I'll be looking at this Citrix offering!
As far as Search goes, has anyone done work on a P2P search engine? Search results could be gathered up by asking peers for information. Spidering is done in a highly distributed manner. Plus the serving up of content could be done through the P2P fabric as well, providing anonymity.
45 minutes in my improvised clean room moving the platters to a different drive and I was able to read the contents
That's what I was afraid of before I sent 3 old drives to the recycling center.
So I took a 6 foot long, at least 20 pound metal wrecking bar and beat the shit out of the drives in my back yard until they were bent out of shape and the impacts obviously bent the platters as well. Not to mention the scraping effect on the metal.
And yes, it was a lot of fun.:)
On another note, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned using corrosive acid to destroy the drives. Surely that would make the data unreadable?
The magazine company could partner with one of those companies that do one-off printing of books. For example, you'd go to pcmag.com, click "print this issue", and lulu.com would print and mail it to you. According to lulu.com's cost calculator, a 50 page comic book would cost $15.50 USD to print.
Please, get Notes out into the open! That way we can shoot it. What a horrible, horrible abomination. Or as this page calls it: "The Asbestos of Enterprise IT".
I was referring to natural phenomenon, not people.
Although, at some point human behaviour may be totally explained and then we'd have to ask is there good and bad with people, or just input -> predictable processing -> output. Not that I'm wishing for that.
It would be nice to have a matrix of search engines matched with the types of information they collect. That would help me make a more informed decision of what engine to use.
I wouldn't be surprised if humour plays a big role in creativity.
I believe humour is made when you make unexpected connections in your mind. That's partly why hearing the same joke over and over isn't funny anymore, or why not all jokes are funny to everyone.
Of course, laughter feels good as does making others laugh.
Seeking out more of that good feeling drives us to make new connections that make ourselves and others laugh. In the process, we come up with creative ideas.
On HP/Compaq machines, you can hit F10 at the POST screen (just after power-on of your system) to begin a system restore. Maybe your machine has a similar option at boot-up?
Jeez, I thought you were serious for a second. I immediately thought of the SpeedScript word processor for the Commodore 64. If only it had 80 columns (not 40!).
Yes, back when auto-save was a ground breaking feature:
Though I do agree, after the files on your local drive have been determined to be clean from a regular scan, there really isn't any reason to keep scanning it over and over and over again.
That's a common misconception. New detection can come out which detects previously undetected malware. In other words, you could have a virus on your system that isn't currently detected but tomorrow will be.

Peewee Herman?
Elmo?
Steve Balmer? *ducks the chair*

Don't use it. Just like any other business, no?

Just a thought..
I'm surprised flying cars would ever be allowed given the Sept. 11 attacks _unless_ flying was secured and "smartly" automated.
This site has hard drive shredding and a *lot* more:

One of the more impressive ones, I thought, was shredding a steel barrel full of concrete and another one shredding carpet.

Soma FM while cruising down I-95 is the best.
Wow. What bitrate can you stream down?

The first day was spent installing the operating system an applications. The remaining 17 days on installing patches and rebooting.
I wonder, does a submarine float or sink when it reboots? Could be quite comical. :)

So you're saying that all companies that need to generate revenue are evil? That's pretty cynical.
If you can't make it more human, make it look more human. Sounds like something Microsoft would do.

There is no good or bad, only properties.

Do you have any thoughts on this?
ROFL - thanks I'll do that. :)
What's with BBC covering almost 25% of the video with a banner and BBC branding? FFS, fade it out or make it smaller man.

I used to heavily use the newsgroups as well but for years there has been too much spam on the newsgroups to make them very useful.
Instead I rely on web based forum posts which are indexed by Google and others.
Start brute forcing crypto keys and infiltrating enemy networks.
Isn't that quantum computing's claim to fame?

I tried GoToMyPC some years ago to connect to my home Windows box and it was pretty slick and snappy.
As another person mentioned, you could also use VNC which is cross-platform but perhaps a little more work to set up (due to NAT).
