While in contrast, in my understating, for example Google keeps even deleted email somewhere in their networked file system for many many months.
All MS said is that law enforcement can't have e-mail that isn't active in your account.
That isn't the same thing as "we delete everything".
I'm not sure any large e-mail provider can promise that your deleted e-mails are instantly deleted from all backups/mirrors.
At the same time large e-mail providers are way too lazy and cheap to have someone dig that stuff up for any reason unless they admit/you can prove they screwed up somehow and you want it back.
Are you talking about the "Sweet Home Alabama" melody and lyrics plus what sounds like some piano melody from Warren Zevon's Werewolves of London? First, I don't think he sampled it... not that it makes much of a difference. But if he somehow used those parts without crediting them and paying royalties without getting sued out of his shirt I would be very surprised.

Hardware TPM Hacked
·
· Score: 1
Exactly. What's to keep you from just replacing the TPM chip with another chip that emulates it while logging all important information? Surely that would be a lot easier than "capping" the chip itself! If you've got physical access to the device, you can swap out parts at will, and all bets are off. You don't need to cap every chip you want to spy on, you just need to cap one to reverse engineer how it works. There are Israeli companies that have made a good living doing exactly that for many years now.
Wouldn't work because it uses Public Key Encryption... the chip has the private key stored inside of it and any encrypted data sent to your emulated chip would be lost. If your chip can somehow derive the private key and then decrypt the data, well I have one thing to say... SETEC ASTRONOMY
Because, if you have a gmail account that means you strive to work for the leader in search technology and a strong support of Linux. If you have an aol address you were responsible for the AOL-Time Warner merger. If you have a hotmail acct. you support closed source software, the destruction of open source and throwing chairs.
Me and my friends have been talking about the resurgence of vinyl DJs for years. A friend who visits Japan every year to sell vintage jazz, soul and funk music (they love it out there) was telling me that DJ shops seemed to be catching up to guitar stores back in 1998. I almost think it's just about peaked myself. Then again maybe DJ Hero will cause a nice spike in sales.
Personally, I prefer to buy my music on vinyl, I like the huge cover art and the tactile interaction of playing a record. The nature of vinyl also doesn't lend itself to the Loudness War. The only things I don't like about vinyl is it weighs a ton when you're trying to get to a gig and when listening at home you gotta get up and flip the record.
I kinda think digital DJing has been gaining a lot of ground lately... there are so many Serato copycats) out there now (some are purely digital while Serto allows the use of timecoded vinyl for control. I've been a hardcore vinyl head and I'm finally considering going the digital route because of the convenience of weight saving and you can make your own remixes. Though it still pisses me off that I spent so much time and money collecting rare tracks when these days laptop DJs can just download them off the net. It's made it a lot harder to have an exclusive track.
I booked a flight on Alaska Airlines today and decided to actually read their restrictions on baggage and I saw this.
As of January 1, 2008, customers may no longer pack spare lithium batteries of any kind in checked baggage. Customers can carry spare lithium batteries for devices such as laptops, cell phones and cameras, but they must be packed in their carry-on baggage with the terminals covered/insulated. Customers may check bags that contain lithium batteries only if they are installed in the electronic devices. Damaged batteries will not be accepted for transport. For important details regarding the safe transportation of batteries/battery-powered devices while flying, please visit http://safetravel.dot.gov/.
I wonder if TSA agents are trained to actually take out and read the packaging/label of all batteries they come across as they rifle through your belongings.
If you search your mom and pop gaming stores you might be able to find some used or even still boxed dreamcasts around. I bought one brand new for $30 a while ago. I have seen them in a few different stores.
I wish they would release Propeller Arena on another console, possibly as a download for PS3, XBox 360 or on Steam? I would love to have some online multiplayer dogfights. The soundtrack had a lot of well known bands on it too.
If anyone is wondering about the WD40 & Vaseline, it's cause some nightclubs will put a thin layer on the toilet tank to discourage cocaine use. (It's hard to tell it's there at a glance and if you're gonna do coke, you've probably been drinking too.) If you try to scrape out lines on a coat of Vaseline, you'll end up with a greasy paste.
According to TFA: "The cable was due to be launched in June but was delayed by pirate activity off the coast of Somalia."
I assume that by that they mean that the ships that lay the cable couldn't get to their destination for fear of being boarded. Can this become a new tactic for these pirates? Somehow damage the cable and then wait around for a ship to come and replace the cable segment?
I imagine that cable is probably pretty deep... and underground when it gets into shallows/onto land. But I'm no expert... I've never laid my cable under the sea.
Funny, I thought the whole tuition thing was your payment for using their academic resources and facilities? Otherwise, shouldn't they be paying students for their development work?

As long as they're periodic, it shouldn't be too distracting.

The thing is, while wearing the glasses you might not know you've been caught until after you take them off.
Why is gmail better than hotmail or aol?

But some cloud technologists insist data center failures are not cloud failures. Is this distinction meaningful?
Do you think the customer will want to argue semantics with you after you've lose their data?

According to my admittedly un-scientific calculations, it most likely eloped with a giant squid.
The easiest way is to get the soundtrack for My Best Friend's Wedding.
What if the Martians think we're sending gifts and decide to keep the stuff for themselves? Awkward...

Make all potential users send scanned copies of at least forms of ID, one with a local address and a copy of any utility bill or credit report.
It's easy, they let the nerds run the casting couch for a few days.... Haven't you heard? Sex sells!
