No amount of hammertime will completely erase a HDD platter. I could imagine that if surface plamsons occur on the platter while exposed to 700 watts of destruction, the EM field gradients would be so strong that the sticky bits would just evaporate. Microwave radiation isn't high-frequency enough to directly cause this, but with all that power you're damn sure to do more damage than a hammer will
And opening a HDD is trivial, as all geeks know.:)
Caffeine does count. It's dopaminergic, just like heroin. Mother's milk counts. The effect it has on infants is almost scary, as it clearly does more than just feed them. Ever gone running long-distance? You might have experienced the "runner's high", which is almost analogous to some good pot.
Check out nootropics, such as Omega 3 and Carnosine. Drugs are good man. Enjoy life, and use your head.;)
Still, choice is important. It's cool that you're pulling a Voltaire, but when doing it on incomplete facts something bad has happened. Could be you'd be admitting something that's worse than you think.

Mwaha, thanks to the theory of manifolds we can declare human thought to be a space and form the conclusions we make to be invariant of said space. Thusly [sic] we can anthropomorphize anything and make valid conclusions based on the difference.
Yes, I've been reading Wikipedia. [Citation needed] Can you tell?
There's a local company offering a 1.5TB external drive when you order a 2mbit or faster internet connection. Since few people are likely to fill the drive up with holiday photos, the use for this combo is obvious.
ISPs and digital storage manufacturers benefit from online piracy. I'd wager the profits are greater than the loss the content producers face, and are of net benefit to the global economy.
But, my perspective on the issue is skewed. I've been a pirate since I was 7.:p
The greatest thing about the Rama series is the sense of scale that it inspires. You get a sense of adventure in reading the book, and that is a rare gem.
Does it really matter if you have them instantly - as opposed to the next morning? And sacrifice trust in the validity of the election for such a small convenience?
Finland is starting to get over-teched. Some examples:
We've done our census based on electronic records for years now, and municipalities will be moving over to electronic archiving soonish. My grandparents, who are over 80, have taken a class on using computers. I can buy soda from machines by sending an SMS to it. There is almost no need for cash, as even the most obscure pizza joints have wireless (Tripple-layer security, worry not.) credit card gizmos. My taxes are automatically calculated. Even up in Lapland, which has places so remote you can only go to them by airplane, you get full GSM coverage. My brother gave me his 'old' mobile phone, a Nokia N71. My father tracks his dog with GPS when he goes hunting. My mother is a cyborg (Not a lie). Four out of five Finns use the net weekly or more often, and nine out of ten use email. Most children in school have a mobile phone (seldom for recreational use).
Quite simply, paper ballots seem old-fashioned to us. To not have the electronic option would be unthinkable by now.
The name is derived from the Latin sacer, "sacred", a translation of the Greek hieron (osteon), meaning sacred or strong bone.[1] This is supposedly because the sacrum was the part of an animal offered in sacrifice. In Slavic languages and in German this bone is called the "cross bone".[2]
Not me. I hate 'em all equally. Hate! I cackled with gleeful ill will when I read the summary. The axis of IT evil turns on itself an self-destructs. *cackle*;)
The highest performing 'steel' currently seems to be what's called '"maraging steel', but calling it steel seems a bit odd since the alloy contains next to no carbon.
Tungsten is a lot tougher than just about any steel, and it's often used the coating alloys of for example drill bits used in industrial CNC applications.
...before we scientifically understood everything...

So quoth TFA;

So quoth Shakespeare;

They are very, very ill-tempered.
Nice! The circles look sorta like bokeh, which feels natural to the eye.
I wonder how a neural approach would fare using the same basic rendering emthod...

What about our daughters, you insensitive clod!
The greatest thing about the Rama series is the sense of scale that it inspires. You get a sense of adventure in reading the book, and that is a rare gem.
In spite of its flaws, I can recommend.
Does this mean the Earth is a giant computer powered by lightning? :)
Good question! It's nice to see something of this caliber on Ask /. for a change.
I have no clue what the answer is, though.

Mine too. I used to
Oooh, lolcats.
libdvdcss is the package you want for Linux. There are plenty of repositories you can add which let you apt-get install it.
I installed it to get around the region restrictions since my DVD drive's firmware was broken and wouldn't let me switch.
Vegeta, what does the scouter say about his power level?
Cosmic pun!

So keep on gyrating those sacred hips. :p
Mainstream news? On my Slashdot? Wtf?
(although, admittedly most people choose to think of it as being true, whatever that means)
Isn't that the purpose of the axiom of choice? :3
Exercise for the reader: work out how you're going to power the climber.
Make the cables conductive and put spacers between them?
Apparently its something about a lost patrol.
They're not lost. They're just superheroes now and you don't recognize them due to their colorful skin-tight outfits.

And if you are wondering what the hell an "article" is, I have a background article for you

The point of this article eludes me.
