The only way to permanently remove data is with programs that can do a 'severe security erase,' when the drive is over-written 10 consecutive times." Believe it or don't!

The rest of the article quotes some other data recovery experts and "Sharp" is never mentioned again. It's fun to debunk journalists but it takes more than saying "it's bunk". --j

Sure something's fishy. Look at the technological capabilities they have, and we're not keeping up with them. One example: L.A. riots, 1992. 6,500 or so fires, unknown arsonist(s). But very convenient for clearing certain properties if you're putting in a new freeway or subway tunnel, and you don't want to have to fight with all the riffraff who might be resistant to getting up and moving. So how do you light all those fires? Do it the hard way - plant the stuff (6,000-plus times!) and hope nobody catches your guys, or light 'em up from satellites, using "new experimental" focused energy. Gosh, Mr. Bill, would they do that? Guess it depends on what you're willing to believe. Remember what Tom Wolfe wrote about? "The reason the folks on the East Coast (circa 1700's) were such easy victims for the pirates was the fact that they couldn't comprehend just how vicious and ruthless the pirates really were." (quote approximate).
