stick the drive into a linux box and: dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdb bs=512 (obviously, make sure the drive in question is listed as/dev/sdb before proceeding)
As mentioned earlier, hire someone to check out your security measures. Many companies do this. Sadly i can't remember any names off the top of my head, but google is probably not completely clueless.
And obviously: Make sure that the contractors are legit and not just in it to rig the system with backdoors
Made a.reg file for a lazy friend of mine.. basically, it just reroutes the requests to my server instead, as he trusts me more than microsoft, heh. Feel free to use it, if you want, or edit it to fit your own preferences. http://www.jarmund.net/stuff/JarmundNCSI.reg

..since Lithium has been used as an antidepressive substance for atleast a few decades. Could be that it's been used for that for alot longer, all i know is that it was common in the early 90's
Long answer: I already have.. in a web-suite that i was the lead systems developer for, the finished product had this menu-system based on 3 x 3 iconds (9 total for those who don't know their arithmetics).. it was all javascript-based, and if you pressed the right CSS-boxes and icons in the correct order, the menu-icons disappeared, and you'd be left with an empty grid (3 x 3 open squares, still 9 total, in case you forgot already), where you could play tic-tac-toe against a simple AI written in javascript as well. That's what i got after the javascript-developers were finished with their part and just waiting for the backend to be completed. I told them "Be productive, amuse me.. easter eggs are always fun".. oh god i laughed when i saw the finished result.
The reason why routers have to be restarted in a while varies from router to router. Embedded systems aren't as bugg-free as one would think. for example, the WRT54G series have a bug in the firmware that makes it really unstable after a certain amounts of connections have been made since boot-time, which is why it has be to be restarted fairly often if you use things that are very intense on the amount of connections, for example bittorrent. Luckily this can be solved by flashing the WRT54G with the Tomato firmware (that's what i did, it works like a dream now). When it comes to other routers, just make sure you have the newest firmware, since this type of bug affects many routers and brands.
Considering the fact that i have three different people wanting to use my music in their games, i guess i've got a chance:D
Small indipendent games, but atleast it's a start..
right to search networked computers, not only the computers found on site.. in 99.9% of the cases these computers are connected to the intertubes, thus making the computers they'd be allowed to search spread pretty much over the entire world. And speaking of intertubes, i wouldn't be surprised if US States Senator Ted Stevens agreed with it. O.o
"...our study doesn't necessarily apply to trolls."
Considering that humanity allowed the birth of http://www.vumit.com/ (Not safe for work) i'm sure that physical evolution might be speeding up, while social evolution is slowing down.
When it comes to their shape being humanoid: Agreed.. our evolution has proven that two legs and two arms is the way to go, but i really doubt aliens have the same evolution as we have. When it comes to the fact that they crash, well, im sure regardless of intelligence/travel-distance/technology, you're still able to make mistakes, such as spilling your favourite beverage on the dashboard, getting distracted by some alien pr0n DVD, and such...IF the aliens exist, that is.
How many pro airline pilots crash their plane? not many, but it happends.. im not saying that "OMG, TEH ALIUMS AER HERE", it's just that im sure that IF they are/were/will be here, they're just as likely to splill their coffee on the dashboard or hogging the onboard computer with a request for regular tea (see: Hitchhiker's Guide to the galaxy)....nobody's perfect, and if aliens exist, they are as subject to alien/human error as we are.
...and he told me that he chose to repeat one year to improve his grades, i would only concider that as a positive decition, since that means that he: 1. Cares about his grades 2. Wants to improve his skills 3. Is willing to sacrifice one year of his life to become better in his area of expertise.
which basicly boils down to: I would prefer someone repeating a year.

I take no responsibility, etc...
PS: I'm slightly less evil than google.
I can picture it..
"And the winner of the 2010 Nobel Peace Price is The Internet!"
and then Al Gore comes up to receive a sack of money, and pours it into a series of tubes.
