stop the transactions, you hurt the value. This is a Fed operation, because they can't control it they're trying to destroy it and make it look like script kiddies. So fucking transparent...

Apple has patents on putting solar into a display.
Really?? Prior art on commercially available solar embedded displays goes back to the 70's...
moving controls off the main unit is an absolute abortion of a design decision. Case in point: the Grundig MD-P1 personal minidisc player. All the controls are are on a pod, the only control on the unit itself is a mechanical eject. It works great until the cable splits, then you have a paperweight unless you want to fork out for a spare control pod - which is also the only way to connect a pair of headphones.

I have a MotoRAZR V3i and a V3r, I'm pretty sure you guys can't be referring to either of those as "worst phone ever" because frankly, they're the best phones ever.
My brother has one of those Chinese phone watches that does everything - even has a camera, SIM and MicroSD in it, and it's about the same size as my Breitling Navitimer. Maybe a smidge thicker. He also has a Tag Heuer analogue watch that has motion charging built into it. I'm pretty sure I can combine the two and get a patent on the corners...
660.32C melts aluminium, this temperature is fairly easily attainable in a domestic furnace (eg a garden incinerator or wood stove, a blacksmith's forge if you're of such a mind as to have one of these). OK, just doing a melt-n-pour into ingots leaves you with a variable-purity alloy containing 99.9 aluminium, the rest a mix of palladium, platinum and chromium, but that's still useful (and being ready melted in your own furnace guarantees you the data is gone forever, and you have full chain of custody of the data until it dies). That said it is more expensive to recycle aluminium than it is to refine it from bauxite (tho if it's there, right?), reflected in the abysmal value of scrap aluminium and even considering the fact that following a major bauxite find in Western Australia in the middle of last year the arse fell right out of the scrap aluminium market.
ah, cool. I might even have one of those around somewhere...
kind of expensive on ammo as well... I prefer my Air Arms Mistral
Not to mention it appears they are still using voodoo like having to degauss drives instead of simply wiping them.
Degaussing is only useful if you don't intend to use the drive again, considering the vulnerability of controller chips and servo tracks to strong EMP renders drives useless.
That's not half of it. There is also this bit:
A computer monitor that might have some top-secret images left on it?
Seriously? How does stupidity of this level actually make it to the real world?>
Burn-in. A common problem on CRTs and on early OLED screens (I just ditched a CRT with an image coldburned into the screen (you could actually make out what it was with the monitor turned off), and I have an mp3/media player that plays video on a 1.1" OLED - which has the player screen permanently burned in. Actually, somewhere around I have an old TFT panel from a Dell laptop that also seems to have burned...)
I've never come across a hard drive with a stepper motor actuated arm. Care to cite a model number for me?
(I have a Quantum Fireball 5.25" 40MB drive that uses a voice coil actuator and two very strong rare-earth magnets to move the heads, the exact same technology used in my Hitachi Deskstars and in my 1TB Seagate 7200.12 SATA).
Of course, I stand to be corrected on this, but: model numbers, please, none of this "You're a fuckin' idiot!" bullshit.
yeah yeah whatever, but my point is made.
yeah, that's worn sleeve bearings, it'll get progressively louder until one day they just plain don't work.
Never trust a computer you can't repair yourself.
