Mar 18, 2011 - its not that easy to just "hit delete" even on your computer you could reformat your hard drive 50 times and there still will be traces of EVERY THING! that was stored there

Mar 30, 2011 - @wally52212 That's not true. It's much more complex than that, but because it's an inconvenient truth that you don't know how to wipe data correctly (multi-pass writes of all zeroes and then all ones in iterative succession and a bit-by-bit verification), you chose to post a fear-mongering comment.As long as you're thorough, there's no reason to fear hard drives.Furthermore, most copiers have the option to not cache old copies. CBS is known for yellow journalism concerning technology.

Mar 30, 2011 - Nobody ever calls out the mainstream media on their half-truths because everyone wants to feel comfortable and secure. The truth is: RTFM on your copier and actually learn to use it and you'll be fine.This story, while completely factual, leaves the viewer in the dark about their pathway to a solution and alone with their fears. You heard the Sharp guy. Pay 500 bucks or figure out how to use the machine on your own.

May 11, 2011 - @Alistairville I would say it's somewhere between convenience and big brother (company watching employees). When you're fax scans stuff into memory, to send as you walk off, it has to store it somewhere. That and when it kicks out a "failure" to send, it's from (HD) storage. I can give a good number or reasons, but it's the same thing.
