Take it to a data recovery specialist if you have anything valuable on any of the drives, and then get the lot recycled at Best Buy or any legit scrap dealer.
Yeah, what brings Bush to a new low is that instead of the ends justifying the means like with Lincoln and FDR, for Bush there is no justification, no logic, no sense, no idea other than Bush first, most, and always.
Why do people still stubbornly insist that flagging 'terrorists' was ever the reason for all of this data-mining? Don't people understand the hidden agenda is to develop detailed dossiers on every single ordinary US national?
If you're an incompetent engineer, attorney, accountant, or physician -- or someone who misrepresents his abilities in one of these occupations -- then you tend to get found out rather quickly (if for no other reason than that colleagues stop covering for you). In IT, on the other hand, people who aren't quite up to the task can persist or be tolerated at companies for decades. And employers are getting sort of sick of it. So they're asking IT 'professionals' to put up or shut up.
There was a fascinating talk on TED.com by Paul Rothemund saying exactly that.

...the ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) already does lots of lobbying on behalf of IT and CS professionals.
There's also the AITP (Association of Information Technology Professionals) which has more of an applied/business slant to it than the ACM.

If you contract with a local Kinko's or printing shop, you could have these printed and bound for minimal cost -- far cheaper than the $40-50 that a computer book would cost at Barnes and Noble.
You can't go wrong with the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Sweden, or Norway. Many people in those countries speak quite good English (in many cases better than the average native speaker in England and North America), and by law they usually offer generous dollops of PTO.
I use MyCheckFree.com -- completely free, no monthly fee like a lot of those consolidated bill payment services. My only complaint in five years of using them is that more companies don't offer payment through it.
And this is bad how? I'm sure buggy-whip and horseshoe makers bemoaned the loss of their jobs with the advent of that new-fangled motorcar gadget. I'm sure those debt collectors can adapt.
Sure, it's not FiOS, but cable, in this area, is a hell of a lot better than DSL.
I concur. Here in Richmond, VA, we had a pre-FIOS choice of Comcast, Verizon DSL, and Cavalier DSL.
Verizon DSL is good, but unfortunately most CO's in the area don't have the line-card capacity, so people have to wait months or years for availability. And given FIOS's aggressive implementation, Verizon seems to be phasing DSL out.
Cavalier simply resells Verizon's DSL, so you have the same availability problems with the addition of piss-poor customer service and higher prices.
I had Comcast for roughly eight years before getting FIOS, and despite the $10 hike in monthly price over that interval, service was consistent and I never really had any problems.
I asked myself the same question, and then speculated that a lot of companies would rather support one browser with an addon than two separate browsers on every desktop.
I attempted to wear contacts for a couple of years, but eventually my severe lifelong allergies won out. But I know exactly what you mean about reduced field-of-vision and more head movements (also your eyes are constantly making more minute movements, wearing out the muscles surrounding the eye). Because of 25 years of being in front of a monitor, at the age of 33 I now require bifocals.

I think you should patent your patent reform idea.

Maybe now he'll find himself inside a 'series of tubes' called a prison cell.

There, fixed that for ya.

I think Caddyshack's Judge Smails (played by Ted Knight) said it best:
'The world needs ditch-diggers, too.'

Go fuck yourself.
Well y'know I do need a new pocket protector. Mine's getting a little funky and worn-out.
And all those lines of primo coke.

Just wait until various governments start claiming that the text of statutes constitutes a 'state secret'.
Defence: Your Honour, what law did my client break?
Prosecution: Objection! That is 'eyes-only' information!
Judge: Sustained.
No, it applies equally as well in that situation, as well.

I agree -- both previous World Wars were started over less.
