Rob Ford's Toronto

A few days are needed to organize an event like that, like next Monday (hint!).

There's no way Rob Ford is walking away. We don't know how he's going to play this (sombre apologies most likely then the bully gene will kick in and he'll get all tough) but he isn't going anywhere. In a perfect world the video will be released by the court next summer or early fall, as a reminder just in time for the election.
 
"We still need definitive evidence... we all have skeletons in our closet" <--- Ford supporter :rolleyes:

Seriously curious where Rob is right now. I have no sympathy for him, and can't even muster up sympathy for his loved ones at this point. But this could turn out to be a rather ugly ending to an ugly day.

Don't people at this point admit they have a drug problem and go right to rehab? Then they come back a month later saying everything is just fine and dandy. I'm sure Fords will go in this direction.
 
One minute until Ford speaks, CP24...
 
Citizens,

the Toronto Sun is preparing a supplement to be published at 3 PM today, with 25,000 copies on stands by 5 PM. They're soliciting advertisers for the run, looking for big bucks.
 
Media are pressed up against the glass walls outside of the mayor's office. They're trying not to squash each other.

Not even to mention the other ongoing cases that might delay the beginning of the search, and a variety of other considerations.

The same IT squad that does this also recovers child porn. While the Ford cae is important, they can and will drop everything if they have a hot lead on a child that's being abused.

Also, as you mentioned, chain of evidence concerns make it a slower process than just using Picture Rescue on your SD card. They usually Encase the drive and work on the copy.
 
I'm getting married at City Hall tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully the media circus isn't too crazy down there by then.

As for this ^ No!!! It'll have to wait until I'm back from my honeymoon so that my-soon-to-be-wife and I can attend! :)

To people talking about how long it takes to recover the video, windows prefaces deleted files with a non-display character, depending on the formatting the string which represents such a character may or may not mark a deleted file, and simply removing it could cause damage, so what they do is run through the drive at a machine code level, index all said characters automatically (about 6.5 hours per 100 gigs) and then examine the code by hand, if it's determined by a forensics technician to be a file header they determine the sectors the file occupies, and then they attempt to recover it. Most machines have hundreds of thousands of deleted files, it can take weeks, maybe even months to properly analyze a hard drive. If you want more info try reddit's netsec, hacker, or computer forensics boards. There are multiple approaches to it, but blindly undeleting can have disastrous effects, you could have a missing bite of information (often from corruption), that causes a reading frame shift, so what looks like the character could actually be a completely different character.

Long time lurker, almost never poster here.

not to digress, but an initial low level pass with a write blocker engaged certainly speeds up the indexing process without the worry of inadvertently corrupting the data with something as banal as a file access time update.

And here I thought I had thought of most of the process... working on a copy makes a lot of sense!

Can't wait to hear what the mayor has to say...
