Wiping a Hard Drive
June 22nd, 2008Question:
What is the best way to ensure that
nobody can recover any information from a hard drive that’s being
thrown away? The drive is very old; though it’s still operational, it
isn’t worth putting into a new computer or external enclosure. It holds
the OS and all files. I want to pull all documents and such, then
effectively wipe the drive clean and/or destroy it before throwing it
away.

April 11th, 2008If your Skype calls are sounding less than optimal, get some technical detail. In your Skype UI, click over to Tools | Options | Display Technical Call Info. One of the more important stats displayed there is Roundtrip. If this reads 100 milliseconds or more, your call traffic is getting seriously delayed.
