skydiver51 0 #1 October 24, 2006 I have a nifty junk cleaner called CCleaner which stands for Crap Cleaner that really gets rid of all the unwanted crap on your computer. I was going through the settings tonight and it ask how many passes you want it to make when it deletes something. 1 pass-standard 3 passes-DoD 7 passes-NASA. I spent 33 years working for the DoD and none working for NASA and no one has to tell me i'm not the brightest crayon in the box but I would figure DoD would have more secrets to hide than NASA. Can anyone tell me if i'm right?? And NO I don't want to know if you will have to kill me!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DoD has a higher quantity of smart people, but NASA has a higher quality. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

skydiver51 0 #5 October 24, 2006 I thought you meant DoD had more smart people. To me NASA has more and smarter. Where I worked it seems that way.

But then again,the friend running the program used to be a major hacker.He got in mucho trouble and a judge told him he could either go to the military,get a state job or go to jail.Either way,if he stayed in his hometown he wouldnt have been aloud to own a computer.So he moved and works at TDC w/my husband.

Cut it up and burn it with diesel fuel. Your life is in there and I wouldn't want to give ANYONE all that info. Except the US Govt. That's necessary for my employment. Scary to think what files are probably out there on me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
