stick the drive into a linux box and:
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdb bs=512
(obviously, make sure the drive in question is listed as /dev/sdb before proceeding)

Around three months ago i found myself in a job that i hated - I spent 5 out of 10 weeks on the other side of the world, the pay was good, but not good enough to justify the frustration the job involved. I decided to leave, and my new job paid roughly ~30% less than my old one, and ever since i started i haven't regretted it for a second. In fact, i am currently on the clock, sitting in my couch at home, while my toddler son is playing with a SATA cable that belongs to him. I voted 50% pay increase, as that's what's closest to the 100% pay increase it'd cost my old employer for me to go back to them.

I have an iPhone, you insensitive clod!

As mentioned earlier, hire someone to check out your security measures. Many companies do this. Sadly i can't remember any names off the top of my head, but google is probably not completely clueless.

And obviously: Make sure that the contractors are legit and not just in it to rig the system with backdoors

Made a .reg file for a lazy friend of mine.. basically, it just reroutes the requests to my server instead, as he trusts me more than microsoft, heh.
Feel free to use it, if you want, or edit it to fit your own preferences.

I take no responsibility, etc...

PS: I'm slightly less evil than google.

95% of my total disk space used is for pirated stuff (TV shows, movies, music, etc etc).

On top of that, it just so happens that I'm currently on the ship i work on... that's gotta count in the pirate-direction too, right?

Also, having a weird Norewegian last name is suitable.. the first syllable is pronounced "Yarr"

I can picture it..

"And the winner of the 2010 Nobel Peace Price is The Internet!"

and then Al Gore comes up to receive a sack of money, and pours it into a series of tubes.

It appears that the setup i have isn't in production anymore, but the ones below are very similar.

bed: http://www.ikea.com/no/no/catalog/products/S69849849 http://www.ikea.com/no/no/catalog/products/50156664 -- slightly different measurements
plus a thin (15-20 cm) mini-matres thingy on top to make it extra soft.

Oh, and sorry for not providing the link in english, but search the product name on your local IKEA, and you'll prolly find it.

It is by far the most comfortable bed i've ever slept in, and the ones who's slept in it agree with me. It's 200 x 180 cm of awesomeness.
I am currently undergoing a moving process from Norway to Ireland, and due to the comfyness of the bed, i decided to throw some extra money into the moving process and drive all of my stuff around europe, across the channel, and a few bridges and ferries along the way to be able to bring the bed to my new apartment.
A bed is a place where you spend approx 30% of your life, so in my opinion it is a severely underated upholstery.

Am i the only one thinking that his body will probably never decompose?

..since Lithium has been used as an antidepressive substance for atleast a few decades. Could be that it's been used for that for alot longer, all i know is that it was common in the early 90's
