Yeah, makes sense that the law would require a much higher standard for preventing changes the original evidence. What I described would be okay for recovering someone's funny cat pics (on the cheap), but not for recovering evidence to be used in a criminal trial.

Good point, but modern Windows OS's don't update NTFS file access times any more (for performance reasons). However, other things can happen when a drive is mounted (e.g. Recycle Bin might be created for the current user.) Personally, I would use "dd" under Linux to make a byte-for-byte copy...

Hilarious Gawker comment (hope this hasn't been posted already): http://gawker.com/the-rob-ford-admin-summed-up-in-one-gif-1456074214

Couldn't agree more, but there are some people who won't be convinced. Believe me, I've tried.

The truth is, unfortunately, that many people will support Ford no matter what. I know a TTC bus driver who dislikes the Ford brothers on a personal level (especially their pretensions of being "middle-class Average Joes"), but she thinks Rob Ford's policies make him a great mayor. She also...

http://xkcd.com/1227/ and "I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies: 1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works. 2. Anything that's invented between when you’re...

Yeah, hard to disagree with this. I guess the idea of having a Philosopher King leader who's smarter and wiser than everyone else is kind of seductive in a way, despite the fact that taking the idea to its logical conclusion leads to totalitarianism. I still don't have a problem with trying to...

It's funny that no one ever wants to be in hands of an uneducated, incompetent or simply mediocre brain surgeon or airline pilot, but as soon as it comes to politics, many people suddenly want a "regular guy you can have a beer with" to make all the decisions.

If that's directed at me, I assure you I'm not trolling. Obviously many people here take architecture very seriously, and hopefully I haven't offended anyone or overly embarrassed myself. Or maybe you think my posts are just noise. If that's the case, I can take a hint. I just get a bit...

Okay, fair enough.

Personally, I thought anti-vaxxers were typically libertarians. So I decided to look it up: http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/intersection/2011/04/27/more-polling-data-on-the-politics-of-vaccine-resistance/#.UiXUVDZwp8G Funny how our respective assumptions probably betrayed our political...

@adma: I am a Canadian (born and raised) of Asian descent, as it happens (*). I did not write this -- "What seems sophisticated and classic to North Americans may be ugly and tasteless to Asians" -- as a reflection of my own opinion, but only as an allusion to this quote from the EIFS thread...

Sorry, I have to offer a dissenting opinion here. If I understand correctly, you are slamming HaveLove for his architectural insensitivity and comparing it to racism and domestic abuse. I think this is a little over the top. These are buildings, not human beings. I agree the EIFS-covered...

Because property taxes are paid annually (in installments) and condo maintenance fees are paid monthly. One reason the maintenance fees are high might be the size of the unit. The age of the building is also a factor. Don't take my word for it, though. Here's a comparable (in price) listing...

Well, looks like it probably is what most people assumed: the transit video. What an (intentionally?) poor choice of words in the FB post.

As others said, looks like both accounts belong to her: https://www.facebook.com/mysarahthomson/posts/507747795935751

If you set a password on your backup, whatever you sync to your phone is encrypted and unreadable without the password. So syncing to your computer might not be as crazy as you think. Syncing to iCloud would be a dumb idea, I agree.

Yeah, I was going with Tulse's apparent assumption that any kind of upload or transmission of the video over the internet would be unsafe (as he ruled out e-mail and Message). E-mail and Message would actually be bad ideas because the quality of the video would be highly degraded (as opposed to...

I guess very old or very young people might not know about importing pics and videos from a camera or smartphone. Very old, because they just don't know about anything to do with computers and very young because they are used to just "sharing" everything through social media. But you'd think...

I signed up just to reply to this. You must have never owned a digital camera in your life, because the procedure for directly transferring photos/videos from an iPhone to a Windows PC or Mac is exactly the same for doing so with a digital camera. If I'm not mistaken, you don't even need...
