Also, has anyone placed an order for silver spoons? Looks like we have a higher than normal demand.No worries, just placed an order of a substantial quantity, got them cheap as they are plated and made of cobolt and old mainframe parts:-P

Old mainframe parts - I love it! I hope none of them are toxic or we'll have to implement a direct-ship-to-customer program or something.

Steve, if you're going to be placing an order, we're running low on crystal balls. You should order some of those too. 😀

No that's not possible, those are not made by order, only when Koen takes out his trash they will mystically appear somewhere else in the space time continuum, somewhere back to the future:alien:

Theoretically it is possible to generate the Diamond version but Jeff will have to improve his ultra secret hypersonic pork chop dispenser for that to happen.

Now I'm left wondering if you deliberately misspelled cobol ... :w00t::-D

Has anyone ever heard about "disk unformating?" Did not know if you formatted your hard drive you could undo it. Maybe if you imaged it first.Lynn, you mean without the use of a big magnet? 😀
Can't say I heard of it.
Someone suggested that an OP "unformat" his drive to recover his lost database after he had reformatted his drive on his PC.
I'm not sure if software to "undelete" would work on a reformatted drive.
It does work. I have had to use software like that in the past. That is part of the reason for either mechanically destroying the disk and/or writing 0s to every sector 30 times or so.

Some like Vogon might be able to help if the format doesn't do a full zero out. Nosebleedingly expensively though.
I have a few freeware apps (linux based) and another I purchased for about $100. The $100 software was able to recover after 5 passes of zeroing the sectors. Can't remember the name and it is on a different machine not with me while I travel. The freeware apps were able to recover after a format and single pass of zeroing.

That's far too weak a security requirement.
Writing 0s 30 times? Never; Each bit mst be written as 0 between 14 and 18 times and as 1 between 14 and 18 times, no 5 adjacent bits may all be 1 on any pass, no 5 adjacent bits may be 0 on any pass, no 3 adjacent bits may be 0 on 3 or more passes, no 3 adjacent bits may be 1 on 3 or more passes, and not two adjacent bits may be given the same pair of values on 8 or more consecutive passes nor the same values as each other on 5 or more consecutve passes.
Your and "and/or" is not permissible, it must be "and". Physical destruction must include heavy impact treatment, very high temperature treatment, and at least one of strong acid treatment and intense magnetic distortion treatment.
If any of these treatments are omitted, the physical treatment requirements are to be applied to the sysop responsible for the omission. If an organisation loses more than 1 sysop through this procedure, the physical treatment requirements are to be applied to the IT manager. And if an organisation loses more that one IT manager through this procedure, the physical treatment requirements must be applied to the CIO (or, if there is no CIO, to the CEO).
This 3 pragraph description of the required procedure was not issued as a DoD colored book simply because there is no scky-blue pink with purple zigzags in the rainbow so that the proposed coloured cover was not acceptable as it would preclude use of the nice attractive term for the series of nonsense requirements of which the book containing it would have formed a part.
The third paragraph of this requirement for secure government computing was and of course still is conditional on the defaulting organisation's not having made appropriate campaign contributions to the party in power at the relevant time, although there has been a recent tendency to render corporate officers involved from abroad to some unknown destination in Cuba where the punishments set out above for defaulting corporate personnel are apparently regarded as excesssive.

Zeroing really is NOT acceptable security. DOD 5220.22-M requires overwriting (several times) with random patterns. And your experience shows us why!
Personally, I use SDELETE. SDELETE -P 5 <filename> when deleting a file that I want to be securely deleted, and SDELETE -c -p 5 <drive> after formatting a disc for discard. Fortunately I no longer have much that needs any security - other than stuff which is encrypted anyway.
edit: and sdelete -z <drive> now and again (maybe twice per year per drive) because it seems to help performance sometimes - I've no idea why.

For those that have an interest in martial arts - specifically the Katana.
An intersting video of Machii Isao, assisting in the configuration of an industrial robot, so it can demonstarte some 'skills' too.

The thing I find more interesting is the slowed down footage, showing just how sharp these blades must be.

If there's time to execute the move, the hundred year old "Ching-Ching-Pow" move will successfully stop anyone wielding a Katana or other bladed weapon. If truly prepared, it will just be a "Pow" move. 😉

That was pretty cool; thanks for the link. Swords can be kept ridiculously sharp, but it still takes quite a bit of skill to wield them effectively.
When you think about it, that's a pretty effective advertisement for their robot, too. Having worked with them a bit, I know they can be programmed to do a multitude of different actions. However, I don't think I've ever seen a demonstration like that one.
