What you are describing is in the same vein as the Creative Commons Founders' Copyright, although I am not sure that there is a workable way to also offer the work under a permissive license until the conversion to public domain. Alternately, you could simply wait 14 years (or what have you) and then declare your work to be in the public domain. CC can help you with that too. Of course, all of this assumes that they will still exist in 14 or however many years.

I assume you realize that "maximum theoretical speed of the interface" and "real-world performance" are not the same thing.

Both of Intel's Mini-ITX desktop boards with the Atom have the CPU passively cooled. However, they have a fan for the chipset (which consumes more power), and that may be the source of your confusion. At least some Atom-based notebooks do have cooling fans, but I couldn't say if they all do.

Additionally, the (theoretical) recovery methods for wiped data all rely on electron microscopes taking extremely high precision measurements. Your hard drive does not contain an electron microscope, nor would that be economical.

I think the GP has confused "realistically doable" with "easy". No one, to my knowledge, has ever argued that recovering a wiped drive would be a trivial undertaking. Only that, to a determined attacker with appropriate resources, it might be possible to do in a reasonable amount of time. And the question is really whether or not that is true.

I didn't even see the "previous interview" and "next interview" links on the articles until I deliberately set about finding such links. I did spot the links under "recent features", but those will eventually move down the queue and out of sight. So it's actually somewhat helpful for TFS to link to the 3 articles. Granted, better web design could have made the additional links unnecessary.
