Comment Recycle bin? Bad move? (Score 1) 418

If you want to get rid of something, first destroy it then delete it. Otherwise, you just have evidence sitting on your disk, because whatever you delete, just has its flag changed. So it remains there , till it gets overwritten. People who would look for the file will not just use windows' search. i bet many are going to burn their HDs now.

real time co-editing... i wondered how it was possible that nobody had not yet offered it. no,it is not that i was the only one on the planet that thought about it (google did too :P ). bah,i hope they do well implementing it. i will be curious to see it in action. ideas mean nothing when you are not capable of materializing them...

Here = Greece. On June every unregistered cellphone number will be deactivated by the providers who are obligated to do so by the authorities. I wonder how this can halt criminality. They can just get accounts from other countries, can't they? Or, simpler, they can steal accounts from others and use them till they get reported. it will generate more illegality like stolen account information sales or customer databases hacking. And of course, there is the privacy issue and how the information will be treated by the providers.
