Aren't they specialized drives anyways? Couldn't they just get the company that makes these drives add an internal shredder+heat source? Like a mini car compacter that then puts voltage through the whole thing. Hell you could probably do it so it if the wrong encryption key is entered, the drive self destructs.
Alternate solution.
Put the drives in a raid.
Throw one of the drives OUT OF THE AIRPLANE.
Destroy the other.
KFC's stock soared 100 points with the news that the protoduck would be served boneless and with hot sauce.
When asked to comment on the decision to serve 100 million year old extinct bird, a kfc representative was quoted as saying "It has to taste better that the cluck we serve now"
But the article has poor documentation and no side by side examples. This makes no sense. It sounds like a cool idea, but the article doesn't give details that would be useful to us. God bless modern blog style journalism!
Yeah, but I don't like religion, and I don't like smoking on water (the stuff gets soggy). Deep purple wrote INAGADDA DAVINCI in my world.
We all came out to davinci, blah blah blah DEEP PURPLE, FIRE IN THE SKY...INAGADDA INAGADDA INAGADDA DAVINCI!!!
I have no problem rewriting reality so that my post is accurate. Don't think I won't.
Why would you think that this would be easier to implement that hanging wires? If you got some of that cable cover stuff, even in a stripped office the ethernet would be invisible, and SO much easier to maintain.
Of course if you get paid per call, it makes lots of sense to setup wifi, as you'd be setting yourself for lots of complaint calls (at $80-$120/hr that adds up to a LOT of cost for wireless)
DON'T SEND THEM TO WAR FOR OIL! Seriously, though, in a time when soldiers have to choose between using homebought armor that actually works (but will cost them their pension) or losing their lives from lack of protection by their employer, the only real way to make sure the government stops killing our Guys and Gals is to pull them out of this useless war.
The problem with this is that these things is that these guys don't know how to fight and as such could really get hurt. And the thing is, if you accidentally kill someone in an illegal fighting event, it is still manslaughter. Course, a few dead dorks might mean that new positions open up in the fields they're in. HEY!!! That's a great idea. I need a job, I could get it Klingon battlecruiser style.
Didn't Cohen invent THE current primary use of bandwith on the internet? Was bittorrent just a plan to make obscene amounts of money by raising bandwith costs?
I've been in the spyware removal (windows consulting) business basically since there was spyware to remove (restart computer into safe mode and clean out startups) and I've NEVER had a client who used spysweeper come back and tell me how great it was. Usually they'd say the program didn't do anything to prevent or remove their britney spears doggie porn popups/virus/adware melange. I'd install spybot S+D, spyware blaster, and have them run spybot weekly after I'd removed crap. The spybot/spyware blaster machines ALWAYS came back cleaner.
Now I just make them get a copy of Symantec Antivirus 10.0.2 and after installing the innoculations from spybot and spyware blaster, setting the default actions for adware/trojans to delete, and making sure it updates everyday, I get machines from complete porn addicts who refuse to switch to firefox that only have 20 or so (very very minor) issues after 3-6 months as opposed to 20,000(literally) in one month.
And for the record I normally HATE symantec products, but their pro (non norton) antivirus is the best I've used.
I'm not a lawyer, but given the VERY real value of these pieces of property he may have a claim. Course he was probably in violation of a EULA or even contract that he agreed to but didn't read, which compromises his standing. The scariest thing to think about would be if these companies could seize accounts that use that new ATM system. They'd have the ability to legally seize real money, kinda like people say Paypal's been doing.
See the last time I was attacked wirelessly was by an RC plane. I now protect my self by wearing an umbrella hat OVER my tin foil hat. Sexy, stylish AND functional.
Or did you mean that funky interweb wirelessness? I can't read much due to the tin foil/umbrella hat slipping into my eyes.
BUT AT LEAST I'M PROTECTED!!!!!!!!!!
I'm a long time Apple fan, and even I'm not surprised to see this. Since Apple started making the big Ipod+Itunes money, they've started getting...well...EVIL!!! Not Microsoft evil, but definitely more lawyer oriented, as happens in big company (google, anyone?) I think this kindof stuff, combined with the recent Intel switch, will further serve to alienate the Machead fan base, but have little impact on the MUCH bigger new base of clients, which is a much larger pool. We probably won't see the old Apple again for at least a long time. Who do you think will take their spot in the market for rabid devotion?
Like the constant ads we see in every tv show and movie? Want a COKE? It's the taste of the new generation!
No Thanks, I'll just have a water,but have you seen my new Timex watch and Converse All stars?
Or, do they mean little flashes of "buy crap now,buy crap now" in the fast forwarded ads.
I wonder what subliminal brokerage ads or 90's style jeans ads would be like. You have this irresistable urge to go do...something or wear maybe pants?
Unavoidable ads! Yeah!
I don't think anybody ever thought it wasn't linux, just that it was a CRAPPY version of linux. I also don't think too many people thought about linspire in terms of OS, more in terms of questionable politics.
In related news...Tech junkies agree that paying more for earlier, more unstable versions of hardware makes them cooler, except when the tech overheats, then they're HOT HOT HOT!
To parent: I own several macs and run a pc business. I couldn't agree with you more about the kool-aid comment! The problem is that Macusers refuse to admit that a computer is a tool made by a company that doesn't care if their fanboys live or die as long as they keep making money.
I love macs for the os, but I'm sure as hell going to put XP on a mac to allow me to WORK.
When calculating the environmental impact of a Prius, don't forget to include the fact that new cars use oil and power before the first time that they're even fired up. It takes gas to get the factory workers to work, to power the machinery it takes electric which is usually coal, it takes energy to get the designers' computers to work, it takes energy to get the designers to work...blah blah blah
A used car has already made that impact, a new car is basically buying a NEW environmental disaster.

Humor nazi mode engaged. IT WAS A JOKE. TO the showers with you. End Humor nazi mode.

Sir Slud. Your humor chip seems to have short circuited. Please report to the geekery for a replacement.

Bittorrent. Thumb drive.
