Fifi, do you know what separates you from the other idiots here?

"Wiping" is in quotes because it is a nontechnical term, computer experts like myself generally use the more technical term of "delete fukking everything" or DFE for short. Wiping is what you do to your ass. Anyway, with full disk encryption you don't need to erase/wipe/DFE on your hard drive, you just forget/lose your encryption key. "I can't recall my password" or even better "My hardware encryption key device broke/was lost/stolen/ect. when you seized my server" sounds much better than "I erased all the files with a military grade forensic file shredder."

You crack me up princess. I helped build the building that makes your computer chips and the building(s) for the processers and Microsoft buildings and so on. Can I get, like, a visitors pass on your internet?

However, these are the Clintons we are talking about here. Those drives have been magnetized, shredded, melted and sunken off shore right next to Vince Foster.

Oh, don't be so hard on yourself, my diminutive little friend. I doubt your IQ is lower by 40 and 70 points respectively.

It's 30 and 60 points lower..tops.

You can also take solace in the fact you're marginally smarter than Sol Dunce.

I worked at Maxtor for 4 years and we made HDD's. Class 100 clean room Bunny Suits and all (I was a once proud man! ). Then another 8 years spent at MS. There is no such thing as "wiping" a disc clean unless the drive is physically destroyed. If Hillary's drives are still around, they can get at least get some partial data back. However, these are the Clintons we are talking about here. Those drives have been magnetized, shredded, melted and sunken off shore right next to Vince Foster.

Well lookey here...."Wiping Standards"....

I use DBAN for my utility and DoD 3 pass for my method when I'm in a wiping mood.

Bonus question...
How long would it take, using DoD 3 pass, to wipe an 80 GB HDD ?
