I use my drill press to drill a 1/4" hole thru some of the chips and the platters.

Anyone who wants to spend enough to get anything off of it after that is happy to do so.

For a load of corporate data a couple of holes would probably do it. After that it would be easier to burglarize you and get a live disk or machine with the data on it.

A lot of the ad servers are very slow, or overloaded.

I finally started blocking some of the more obnoxious adds, and pages started appearing much faster.

I am probably going to start blocking flash soon. It doesn't play nice with Konqueror on x86_64.

DNS resolution also seems to have slowed dramatically. I should probably put a caching name server on my network finally.
