I tried destroying an old 1.2GB hdd with about 700MB of bad clusters using a sledgehammer. It was actually surprisingly robust under the blows from the hammer.
Just in case you are wondering what I was trying to hide, it was bank account details from about ten years ago.
Offer next day pre 10am delivery for a price, and free 5 day super saver delivery for free. People who are desperate will pay extra for fast delivery. People who don't care will go for free delivery.
That's what they do already, and that's what pretty much every other company does.
We have a harvest thanksgiving festival towards the end of September. The difference is that it is a purely religious thing, and you don't see any mention of it outside churches.
In the event of a conflict between their TOS and criminal law, they have to comply with criminal law, and not their TOS. To the extent that they have to do that, they aren't in breach of contract.
At the Apple shop in Regent Street, yes there were lots of people waiting. However, go round the corner to the Carphone Warehouse and O2 shops in Oxford Street, and they weren't any busier than normal.

Trademarks have to be applied for, are capable of lasting indefinitely, cover only a limited field of expression, and can be lost if not defended properly.
Trademarks cover only a specific area of business. For example, I am aware of four different companies that use the trademark "Lotus", IBM in computer software, a car manufacturer, a clothes manufacturer, and a Chinese restaurant in London. They only cover setting up in business and using the name, not for example, me mentioning their existence in a Slashdot posting.
Well Sony is more evil than Microsoft. Sony rootkits are deliberately designed to impair your computer, whereas Microsoft problems are merely the result of poor programming practices.
In Britain, you don't get pulled over unless you are doing > 10% + 2 mph over the speed limit, in a 70 zone - the fastest you will find here, you won't get booked unless you are doing more than 79.
Your checking / savings accounts are FDIC insured, or the equivalent in your country, up to the limit.
Bonds are loans to people who are probably less secure than your bank.
Stockholders are at the back of the queue in the event of problems. Your Bank of America stock may pay 5% dividends at the moment, but that isn't guaranteed, and is likely to fall if the sub-prime problems continue. Stockholders will lose out long before deposit account holders.
They pick small caps where there is very little active trade, and it can take weeks / months to sell the stock.
They buy a load of them at the normal price over a period of time, then sell them at an inflated price to the people they spam. By the time they send out the spam, the price has gone up, and it is already too late to profit from the upside.
You probably get some legitimate email about people enlarging other things, so I guess it is just penis you need to enlarge, and of course all the variations in spelling of it, and all the other words used to describe the same thing.
Much less than 1%. Most email systems have an attachment size limit of around 5MB, and it isn't really possible to fit the average music track into that space unless you encode it to a very low quality level. Yes, you can split it up, email the bits separately, and join them together at the other end, but it is much easier to send them by MSN Messenger or similar.
The original idea of the patent system was that some individual inventor could come up with the invention in their bedroom, get a patent, then go round venture capitalists looking for funding to implement it without having to worry about them stealing his idea and implementing it themselves.

The christmas lights are up, and there's christmas stuff in the shops. However, the holiday season doesn't start until about mid December.
No, because 2/3 of users do use Ubuntu, and 2/3 of users do use Red Hat.

Child benefit is paid to everyone who has a child regardless of how much other income they have.

Does it matter to the investors how crap it is, as long as they sell lots of copies of it?
What the investors would be interested in is if their customers discovered there was a better product out there.

So he may own the trade mark in the field of business of running link farms, but not in the field of business of running a blog.

And also with the Office 2007 filters for Office 2003.
You know where your voicemails are coming from, so whitelist them and block everything else?
Probably they see other spammers doing it and think there must be money to be made out of it?

Most likely Storm closes whatever hole it used to get into the machine, so no other worm can come in afterwards.
It isn't unknown for rival worm authors to attack each other's worms.
