A Hilarious Prank

Can't remember where I read it, however I remember it was something more along the lines of reading the electronic fields made by the head as it creates the data. Very interesting. To bad I can't find it.

Well that's not reading the remnants of this supposed hard drive laser. Not knowing something is fine, but I wish you'd learn to stop spouting bullstuff when you clearly have no idea what you mean.

Given the time you could simply write over every piece of data on the drive. Not formatting it, rewriting over the data many many times. Or very strong magnets can make quick work out of a hard drive.

Magnets is what I would do.

We don't have the tools and techniques that can recover overwritten data at this time. Naturally if you destroy the hard drive (like by dunking it in easily bought hydrochloric acid to partially dissolve the surface) then no one could read it no matter what they do.

Some peoples IP's change daily.. some weekly..

you cant find someone by their IP....

Ah, I still lol'd.
Don't give a damn if it's real or true or whatever, it's still loving hilarious. Until he said "epic win".

[TapeDeck]

Haha.

Couldn't they check the IP address of the computer and figure it out from there? Also, there's ways to get data off a hard drive no matter what you do. They're playing around with reading the remnants that the lazer gives off, as to read what was on the hard disk. nothing can cover that up.

Hard drives are written on with a electromagnet.  When you delete something, it marks that area as open, but the stuff is still there.  It just doesn't show up. 

EXAMPLE: When I tried to uninstall rise of nations on my old PC, it deleted my entire games folder. D:  I was on 2000, so I had to buy a recovery program.  (This was a long time ago, before I knew about BL).  I got everything back though! :D

You can completely overwrite the data though.

LOL

There is no proof of who even said those things. They might have grounds to search any computers in that house, maybe. Anyone know if that is enough evidence? And if nothing illegal is on the PC there's still no way to prove it was him who did it.

You obviously don't watch enough "How to catch a predator with Chris Hansen"

Never said you couldn't.

It's Dateline NBC.

Plus it was a trap set up by Hansen and his team. They posed as a girl and got some girl for just looks and pics. Then baited him and got 'em. Forgot if he ran away or w/e.

Obviously they have a good amount of proof if you meet up in person. I could go to a friend's house and start saying stuff to children online using his account.

Ahahahaha.
