Comment Amiga for music making (Score 1) 418

I make music on the Amiga today. Not necessarily mod tunes, but I integrated it in my home studio and use it for midi sequencing, drums, triggering synths, controlled glitching, etc.

Comment Deadly Romanian scandal (Score 2) 122

This reminds me of a big scandal in Romania involving a firm called Hexi Pharma who was the major distributor of dissinfectants to all .ro hospitals.

Submission + - Datacenter HDD wipe policy

socheres writes: Hi Slashdot! I keep a Slackware server hosted at various datacenters on leased hardware for personal / freelance business use. I have been doing this for the last 10 years and during this time I moved my stuff to several datacenters, some small and some big name companies. No matter the hosting company, since I choose to install my own OS and not take a pre-installed machine, I always got the hardware delivered with the previous guys' data stored on the hard drives. It was also the case with spare drives, which were not installed new if I did not ask specifically for new ones. Has this happened to you ? How often ?
