That's right, just a single-pass overwrite with zeros will do. Everything else you hear is either 8+ years out of date, or uninformed bullshit, or a scare story.
May as well do a second pass with/dev/random, though it's not like the cops are going to send your drive in for forensic recovery unless you're a big fish.
Of course, we don't really know if anyone has one. Given this administration's willingness to lie about weapon stockpiles, I wouldn't trust them with this power.
Take a look at the unemployment rate in France for people under 25. It has been as high as 25% but seems to be somewhere around 20% currently (can't find 2004 numbers).
So what? That can be explained by taking a year off after college to bum around Europe/Asia. Wish I'd done it.
there are plenty of devices which allow telemarketers to legally (or semi-legally) fake their phone numbers.
What makes you think this is a telemarketer-only thing? As long as you aren't impersonating someone else, what's the problem. Keep in mind tht this also allows you to run a home business on a private line and jigger the callerId.
Yes, people will seem stupid when you assume they are. It is most usually about your assumptions, not them..
You described a software process in a vague manner. Had that been the actual claim for exchange, it would have been stupid, even if they did the right thing.
As it is, you may just be being vague - I don't know, and I'm not much interested in MS software.
They probably justify it to themselves that if they can't trust the employee to do whatever you want, no matter how insane, pointless or counter-productive, then you can't trust the employee, period.
So, if you're confronted about it, point to your 2 or 3 laarge contracts and say 'If I had done exactly as you said, we wouldn't have this money. Further, our operational costs would be higher.'
While I sympathize, I do hope you're looking around for employment a bit more compatible.
The problem with that is they never really did learn how to program the VCR, so it usually falls on either me, my wife, or my brother to do it for them.
The problem is that you do it for them. Tell them no, point to the PVR, and get on with your life.
Request that the actual web app dev team make it properly. ETA: 2 years.
Are they backlogged, or is this really the time it would take?
Here's what I'd do: write a SOAP bridge for the SMS stuff (using ASP.NET if it works), then attach it to a standard web app that consumes that soap. Total time: a few weeks, probably less.
My point is that China has redefined 'state secret' to mean 'anything that might embarrass us'. In light of this modified definition, yes, you do have a right to publish state secrets.
Ok, so let's assume that we can all start driving hydrogen based cars now. The burning of hydrogen produces something like nine times its mass in water. This would mean that a crowded road would become hot and humid like the inside of a bathroom when you take a hot shower.
Do you realize that cars right now produce mostly water vapor?
As petroleum based cars became scarce, the oil that protects our roads from rain would dry up, and the water would quickly destroy most surfaces.
Um, what?! The oil that covers roads is washed away every time it rains. That's why wet roads are more dangerous after a week of dry weather.
What China did is violate the UN Charter of Human Rights.
Well duh, this is China! They aren't a shining beacon of democracy; instead, they're a thuggish oligarchy with a billion low-priced laborers (the only reason anybody plays ball with them).
Provided that any laws regarding restricting content into one TLD were reasonably scoped to merely target this problem, I would support them.
This has nothing to do with sex slavery, and nobody has a decent definition of porn. The best we've got is 'I know it when I see it'. In light of that, I oppose any effort to mandate all porn sites operate under.xxx while supporting.xxx on the theory that it makes porn sites easier to find.
Most legitimate porn sites are happy to identify themselves as such, while most of the rest are doing something else shady. Laws restricting the behavior of legitimate sites are unnecessary, and at the same time ineffective at addressing the shady ones. All they do is give people a club to beat on sites they don't like, like slutwear and tamer cheesecake sites.

What, do Americans still carry physical tokens to represent their money? How quaint!
Hmm... can you say pound coin? I knew you could.
This isn't unabashed bullshit, it's a comparison to the crap you might drag around in your pocket.

Or your friend only has Mac or Linux machine?
Well, for Macs, they can buy Office, but I doubt that was your intent.
We had the same problems when dealing with Program[INSERT BIG UGLY SPACE HERE]Files. Couldn't PROGRAMS work?
That was kind of the point - forcing programs to deal with spaces forced (some) app developers to deal with spaces generally.

Exchange/Outlook will let you modify the attachment in place and keep it in your mailbox.
Are you saying that I can send a file to 100 people, then edit it after I send it and leave the 100 people with no audit trail? That's horrible!

How do you figure that many of the people who will be filing claims are very poor or very old?
Because those are the people who stayed.
The hurricane didn't pick and chose which places to destroy and leave the more expensive places untouched.
The richer parts of NOLA are relatively untouched. Funny how that happened.

which requires either paying for a MASSIVE amount of bandwidth
At $0.50/GB, that's about $300 to fill up your disk with about 20% overhead. Not cheap, but not massive either.
Nah, the size of your pr0nz collection is directly proportional to the size of your pipe multiplied by its uptime.

What is the difference whether a security issue is "known...in secret" rather than simply "unknown"?
The difference is whether you know about it. After all, these are the only issues you can disclose.
My point is that China has redefined 'state secret' to mean 'anything that might embarrass us'. In light of this modified definition, yes, you do have a right to publish state secrets.
I don't see 'The right to leak state scerts' listed.
They likely weren't state secrets as you know them. In China, crime stats can be a state secret, as can yesterday's newspaper.

Hindinberg pretty much calls into question every statement you've made regarding expansion rates and ignitability.
How so? Hindenberg burned the way it did because they covered it in thermite.

From what I hear from people who've accepted jobs as software engineers at EA here in Vancouver,
You had me at EA. Seriously, EA does that everywhere.
Yell and beat the computer geek into submission to do your computer work.
Flashing some green works a whole lot better and has less risk of receiving a beatdown in turn.
