Me in Jan. It's the last time I let anyone with a camera near me (evil soul sucking machines) but the only thing different is my hair cut.

Computer forensics is good enough to recover something that was overwritten once, but not 10 times.Melody wrote:Lucky bastard. My family did not get a computer until I was seventeen. *cries, waves arms randomly*
I thought all one needed to effectively erase something on their harddrive was to replace the memory space it occupied with something else. I do not doubt memory recovery techniques, though, so if I ever have to delete something securely, I will throw my whole computer into a volcano.
But, then again, some idiot kid would probably dig it u...! YES! GREAT. I CAN NOW continue my incredible story!! *shreek* I had been stuck for a while. <_<
Anyway, some idiot kid would probably dig it up and his retarded-but-good-with-computers uncle would recover the data and find all sorts of things, and it would create a huge controversy. I can see the digital floating headlines now.

Aye, it's a bit of a pain. Easiest option, blank the partition tables in the first sector, then format. For government security standards every sector has to be overwritten a minimum of 3 times, we use a program created by Sophos for this. Military requirements is 7 times or more.Kisai wrote:Computer forensics is good enough to recover something that was overwritten once, but not 10 times.
The reason "simply erasing" a file doesn't get rid of it, is that up untill MS DOS 5, files were actually erased, after 5.0, only the filename was erased, but the file data was still there, and you could undelete it easily. Most people when they give away their computer either quickformat the drive or delete all the files they don't want the next person to know about. However you can recover stuff that was simply erased once.

Magic word not to say when taking your computer in to a shop "deleted stuff", because that's an invitation for the tech to go undeleting things. And yes I did do this once because the guy's "kids" deleted something, but all they deleted was the pictures they sent over ICQ.
thats really cute. I remember when I used those in my computer graphics class. lol. lest just say they didn't have a greatly funded department. here is a picture of me. well, kind of. its more of my jacket. but its a kick ass jacket sporting the Blue Monday Pins.cortland wrote:That's my brother and me, circa 1984, playing around with our family's 128k Mac (I'm on the left with the dark hair).

It has been my experience, having once worked in the computer tech field, that all service technicians, when they're alone in their lab with your machine, will search every square inch of your hard drive looking for porn, even deleted porn.Soap Soaperson wrote: This morning, I had something happen to my computer, and it won't turn on now. I had to take it to the shop to recover my important files (drawings, documents, blah blah blah). I hope he doesn't try to recover anything but those folders I asked him to - I have about 500 meg of mp3s, a bootleg Harry Potter 3 movie, and some Sega Genesis ROMs. Uh oh.
Ecco the Dolphin has two games for Sega, two for Sega CD (which are just fancy rehashes of the original two), and a stunningly beautiful game released on Dreamcast/Playstation 2. All the games are fricken' HARD, but they're too much fun (for meee, anyway).Melody wrote:Sega Genesis ROM's...is Ecco the Dolphin a Genesis game? I should know, seeing as I am an insane fanatic of videogames and I'm going to be a game programmer and eventually designer. I ask about Ecco because you have/had some Ecco link on your site.
I don't have much porn, but I'm not gonna lie and say it's not on the laptop.Ghastly wrote:If they avoid eye contact when you pick up the machine and get a little flustered you'll know they've been looking through your porn.
I have some yaoi, too. Nooo, I'm not a "YAOI IS TEH HAWT," person - My friend randomly kept sending me this lesbian photo for no apparent reason, so I thought it'd be funny to send him a yaoi picture. I found a really good, nasty one, and it shut him up really quick.

I know about the Dreamcast one. Its story was written by David Brin, my favorite sci-fi author. There was also going to be a 32X version that was canceled. I have a short video of the title sequence thingie.

It's like taking your film to be developed, if you are going to take pictures of things -NORMAL- people take, nobody cares, but if you start taking pictures of boobies, the people running the film developing occassionally copy them, and if they see any kiddie porn, they call the cops.Ghastly wrote:

They won't give a shit about the bootleg stuff. They will joke about the porn they find behind your back and if they find kiddie porn they'll usually call the cops but will just think you're a sick bastard if all they find is pictures of people screwing sheep.
If they avoid eye contact when you pick up the machine and get a little flustered you'll know they've been looking through your porn.
This is not a photoshop, the camera actually generated that.
And some really bad photography about two weeks ago. I tend to quickly look away from the camera... I have worse pictures where I roll my eyes at the camera or shut them entirely as the flash goes off, so it's hard to keep a smile without feeling silly.
