Destroying evidence is a crime in the US, too.
Only if you leave evidence behind that you've destroyed evidence. Absence of evidence does not equate to evidence of absence...
..destroyed overnight, go with the SSDs. The melting point of a surface mount IC is a lot less than that of a spinning platter.
Surely putting either in a microwave oven and turning it on would suffice?
Deleted, should mean deleted.
That's what the Linux command shred is for...
$400 for a netbook that doesn't run windows. Hell, doesn't even run when it's not hooked up to your phone. You can buy a netbook running windows 7 (or a full linux distro of choice) for under $300.
You can buy netbooks for under £/$200-250 these days, some with Win XP, but more running a Linux variant of some sort. I use an Asus EeePC 1000 running Easy Peasy 1.5, which is exactly what I need - all I use it for is light web browsing (Opera, sometimes Firefox for less W3C compliant web content), listening to music (hello Banshee), writing documents and the odd bit of spreadsheeting (OpenOffice). Simples!

There are other nominees..? O_o
The ANC were at times terrorists, but Nelson Mandela made peace with the South African government.

If the Internet wins, will Al Gore be picking the award up on it's behalf?
If it wins, I think Tim Berners-Lee should collect the award, personally.
Saying that divorces are linked to Facebook is like saying car purchases are linked to internet usage.
Quite. One in five divorces cite Farcebook because one in ten people worldwide (~600 million) use Facebook, which is probably more like one in six/seven in the USA; the chances are very high that if one half of a couple uses FB then so does the other...

This company has a power control chip which has firmware which you can tailor to the hardware it is attached too. And its available to buy right now.
The reminds me of the Transmeta Crusoe processor designs, which automatically shifted gears, moving the clock speeds up and down as more or less workload was put through the CPU.
For decades, Grim blamed himself for World War II. If he'd let Adolf win the scholarship, that guy might have just gone on to become some nameless painter doing still-lifes, instead of becoming the most infamous name in all of history.
I can't believe you've manage to Godwin a discussion about Betty Boop and Copyright... O_o
Sanity in copyright law? Gosh, you look different. Haven't seen you for years. How's life? Must be horrible, you look like an abuse victim. You sure you're not taking drugs?
