Well, if Doug were to walk away from the company at this point, we'd be in a serious world of hurt, so I don't think the company cares about $200 for a hard drive. It's probably less that the bar bills he submits for a week trip.
Yeah, that's why if I did have that level of paranoia, I'd melt the platters to slag with a torch. Probably go after the chips on the board as well.
But the only thing I really worry about losing, data wise, would be my financial stuff, so I think running a disk-wipe overnight before giving up the drive is fine.
Well, I've already donated $350 ($250 for myself and $100 for my daughter, who's running the 1/2 marathon). It's not like I'm "begging" for myself, but rather for a good cause. I'm clearly (at least to me) not doing the run thru team-in-training because it's better for me to do it that way. I could much more easily just pay to do the run directly.
It's about raising money to cure cancer. My Dad died of lung cancer when I was 4, my wife's Mom died of lung cancer about 5 years ago. Cancer kills a crapload of people, so doing the research is a useful way to spend the money (in my estimation).
Besides, those 8 iPods add up to maybe $2k. That's not a ton of money to spend over the 5 or so years I've been acquiring them...
I've got 4 ipods: 1st gen shuffle, 2nd gen shuffle, 3rd Gen Nano, 4th(?) Gen 'original' My wife has an iPhone & 2nd gen nano, My Daughter has a 3rd gen Nano and lost the hand-me-down Mini we gave her.
Most of the women I run with that use an MP3 player have a 3rd Gen Nano for the ipod+Nike thing.
Most of the people I see around with headphone on, the headphones are Apple-white (not sure what they are plugged into though, it's usually in a pocket.
Here in California, I don't see many non-ipod DAPs.
I've got a friend/co-worker/gun-nut who never returns a drive with his data on it. Work gets laptops back, sans drives. He takes them out to the range with a high-powered rifle and puts rounds thru them.
Me, I just use OS-X's write-random 7-times. But if blocks got remapped because of io-errors in the drive, that might be enough for the truely paranoid. If I were that, I'd use my oxy-acetylene torch and just melt the platters to slag, after pulling the magnets out to play with.
From the 'in the summertime' comment, I'd say you're running A/C and that's burning power. Try this instead. Get a big fan and stuff it in the window of an upstairs bedroom, or downwind window if you're house is single-story. Open windows at night and run the fan, drawing cool air in all night. In the morning, close all the windows and shades. Wood slat type shades seem to work best, but the reflective foil ones are good too. That should reduce the amount of A/C you need to keep the house cool.
Ha, we're getting the spammers to fund AI research...the more we make captcha's like Touring tests, the more they'll do AI research in their attempts to break it.
Right, the question was whether someone could be _prevented_ from testifying in their own defense. The answer is No to that, since it would be too open to abuse.
After all, if it doesn't work out, I would have just built myself a really nice Windows machine anyway, so I'm not really out anything.
Sorry, but that made my head explode. If I went to the Apple Store and came home with a box, opened it up and all it ran was Windows, I think I'd feel like I was 'out something'.
And living near SF (though not in the district), I am really pissed that the first semi-official thing Pelosi did is say she wouldn't try to enforce the duties of her office. Why the Democrats didn't go in, guns blazing, investigating everything and producing the evidence that we all know exist that BushCo should at the very least be in jail, if not hanged for treason.
According to wikipedia, New Jersey is 8729 square miles.
92x92 square miles is 8464 square miles
From what I've heard about NJ, if it were as sunny there as NV, we'd be much better off turning the whole state into a solar plant and using the extra square miles so I can leave my lights on all the time.
But it's not like they all need to be together. I'd doubt you'd ever build a plant larger than 1 square mile as a single unit. Of course, I haven't RTFA...
Not sure why your post was moderated insightful. Funny maybe. Slashdot it news for nerds. That's why a _scientific_ study about human behavior is interesting here. Redbook is (as I am slightly aware of it) unlikely to be publishing scientific information about human behavior. Likely they'd be publishing whatever they thought would most appeal to their readership.
I went thru that once...finally I isolated it to the cable. The F'ing cable was bad! Swapping it for a different cable everything worked. The three external SCSI drives, the SCSI scanners (plural!), everything!
So, to be evil I put the cable in my coworker's box of cables.
Either you're really young, or you haven't been around any 18 year old girls lately. God they are insipid...send me a nice "at the peak of my sexuality" 30 year old instead any day!

Does that mean I can shoot the border agent and not be prosecuted under American laws?

The trouble is, I already have your DNA...or I might. It's not like you don't leave it everywhere you go...
"plausible"
You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means...
Then where the hell is my flying car, and why do 80% of my countrymen still believe in bronze-age myths?
The thing is, there still is some question as to whether he even existed.

Much less as to him being any sort of god. Not that I've ever heard any sort of logical consistency when someone describes their 'god(s)' to me.
But go ahead and keep believing what you want. I'll stick with reality though.

I ran Unix with Display Postscript on a 68030 with 8MB of RAM. It rocked.
Software doesn't have to suck, there doesn't need to be 47 layers of crap between the CPU and the user.
Only up to the length of Moby Dick, or some small multiple thereof.

I just updated our "relationship", and so you've got a friend now :-)
Next thing you know, CERN will want to produce one!
Hey, don't laugh about the swords...recently in our small (~8k) town, someone was arrested for attacking his _friend_ in the local Burger King.
But then I live in Sebastopol, home of the wifi haters
