I had to disable UAC to install FF. I am sure I could turn it back on.

Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know. -- Ernest HemingwayNot sure why was it with you. Both of my desktops and the Vista notebook has FF installed. I don't remember disabling UAC for that purpose.

when they are all 0's. after that, you're on your own.
Even if you wipe all your bits to 0's, statistically, 50% of them can still be recovered correctly. :-D

hmm i came across this little video showing you how to defeat Windows Vista Bitlocker in matter of minutes... When will our Bits be save... :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: http://citp.princeton.edu/memory/[^]
With greate code, comes greate complexity, so keep it simple stupid...:-\ :-\

Never, with physical access to a a machine, would be crackers have the advantage of time to analyse.

Jolly Roger said in the Anarchist cookbook that he would feel safe if his data was in a safe encased in concrete and buried. BTW, I just found out that Vista with UAC on doesn't allow FF to be installed. What a surprise.

You mean the FireFox installer doesn't follow the guidelines that have been in place since Windows XP?
Is UAC prompted me saying I may not have the necessary permissions and suggested I log in as Administrator. Since, of course, you can't log in as admin in Vista without a few hacks and I was already logged in as pseudo admin I just clicked allow with my user and then nothing happens. I turn UAC off and it installs immediately. Personally, I am under the opinion that an operating system should operate the system and not get in the way of that.

You misunderstand. Your data is safe as long as the drive remains in its virgin, unformated state. Once data has been written to the disk, all bets are off. and actually using forensic software recovery options, the last 15 writes are now considered recoverable. That is why I said as long as the drive remains with no data, your bits are safe, as long as the drive remains empty. As soon as the first bit is changed, that bit is in danger of being lost. :)

Sorry, I should have put the joke icon. (Maybe I was a bit obscure with that joke there) I was referring to the fact that as there only exists 2 possibilities for each bit (1 or 0) even if you set all bits to 0 (assuming you can't do forensics to analyse previous state or anything like that), 50% of the bits would still be in their original state and unchanged. Obviously, the flaw, and therefore the joke lies in the fact that you would have no way of telling which 50% of the bits we're still in their original state, thus rendering the information useless. :laugh:
