Sure it can. And then someone can use techniques such as MFM, SPM or STM to recover the disk. And then there is this patent which notes that data is often partially written off the track, and thus can't be wiped.
I guess for most people's purposes something like DBAN will work well. But for the truly paranoid, you really need to read NIST's recommendation that you clear, purge and destroy. And by destroy, they mean that you use "Disintegration, Pulverization, Melting, and Incineration." At a "outsourced metal destruction or licensed incineration facility with the specific capabilities to perform these activities effectively, securely, and safely", no less.
I don't know - but when you read that the scammers are being effectively scammed themselves, it warms my heart.
But in these tough times, the scammers said, they are relying more on a crucial tool: voodoo. At times, Banjo said, he has traveled six hours to the forest, where a magician sells scam-boosters. A $300 powder supposedly helps scammers "speak with authority" when demanding payment. A powder, rubbed on the face, reportedly makes victims viewing the scammer through webcams powerless to say no.
"No matter what, they will pay," said Olumide, a college student, adding that he is boosting his romance scams by wearing a magical, live tortoise hanging from a cord around his neck.
I'm taking a wild stab in the dark, but have you changed the PCM volume in the sound control? I found that it was right down for some reason after an Ubuntu update. Once I increased it, sound went back to normal...
To get into it if you have 9.10, then just click on the sound icon in the Gnome menu bar, then click on Volume Control. Check the PCM slider for each device, one of them will probably be right down. Give it a shot, can't make things any worse:-)
So what's stopping you?:-) They give instructions on how to do this here. The only thing it probably won't do well is bootup testing, but then you probably want something like Bootchart for that.
Hey... while you are one of the ones who won't buy the game, I'd say you aren't their market. I suspect that the game creators must be getting advise from spammer-extraordinaire Jeremy Jaynes - the general principle being that if you get one hit for every 1,000 emails sent, but you send several billion emails then you can make a quite good business out of spam.
Seriously, these events attract at lot of smart, independent thinking people who love technology. What better place to recruit people? If it works at Universities, then it probably works better at DefCon.
I guess they were worried about the "independent thinking" before...
Indeed. I will never, ever purchase a Kindle after they delete copies of the book. When I own a book, I want to own the thing, if not actually the copyright to the text inside.
Oh please. Those are images that they would like one to see. You could also state that the images are misleading as they don't show what the person looks like ordinarily. I think your argument is somewhat specious.
Indeed. It's very amusing that on one hand, celebrities and public figures don't like the low quality images on Wikipedia, yet won't release pictures under Creative Commons licensing. They can't have it both ways. Either you get amateur and often less than flattering free pictures on the world's largest encyclopedia, or you release a high quality image under the appropriate license for use on the project.
I think the Epson Equity was the one that had a typo in the BIOS when you inserted a floppy disk. The typo was in the word disk, and exhorted the user to insert a system dick when they booted with a non-boot floppy.

Whatever it was, it's the most refreshingly honest canned response I've ever read.
Well, if you've never had a job, then I guess you can't aim your sights too high.
Uh... there is actually. It's called the Because It's Your Job Act of 1972.

Exactly.
Do you know how long it took me to insert a section break? Not under the Insert tab. So much for UI consistency.

I know! That's not a nice thing to say about researchers. Especially when the study's results have not yet been replicated on other researchers.
But if we average out the results over a year the inaccuracy will surely decrease!
So what's stopping you? :-) They give instructions on how to do this here. The only thing it probably won't do well is bootup testing, but then you probably want something like Bootchart for that.

Hey. That's why someone tagged this story !Presbyterians :-) Of course, the people who needed to know that couldn't read it... but still, awesome tag!

If you don't like either choice, then tough.

I don't think that is possible.
Hey. I guess now is the wrong time to confess I work for EMC? :-)
