    I came across this while searching for demolition contractors.

    Imagine.. paying someone to destroy your computer..

    LOL! I like where they say you're welcome to come and watch the drive being destroyed. And if you decline that offer, what? I bet they just throw it in the garbage can. Hilarious.

    Somebody email the guy and ask how much it costs. Hell, I'll go pay a welder about $20 and he'd do it within seconds for me. [​IMG]

    They may just turn around and sell the info. Anyone paranoid to use the service, has to have some good stuff on their hard drive. This could be an easier way to get it. I'll bet most of the companies don't even bother to re-format the hard drives before turning them over to this company.

    Speaking of paranoid, I heard something about this cyber-hacker group that figured out a way to hack into and alter web servers. The servers then put a trace-cookie onto any computers that visit the site, which allows them to monitor that computers internet activity using the IP address.

    Since it's not a "true" virus, most virus scanners won't pick it up, and the only way to get rid of it is to either go through the browser software line by line, or erase then reload the browser software. The only real clue that most people have that they are "tagged" is that the group puts it's logo on the site -- a picture of a bull -- that has absolutely nothing to do with the service being offered.

    Before anyone re-formats their hard drive -- I was just kidding. [​IMG]
