Deleted Data/Photos

Able to recover data and photos is always a good thing. At least for me.

At times you are doing a mass delete, and your favourite gravure pic was accidentally clicked into the whole bunch and deleted... recovering them would be like a God given miracle. Like the skies split open, and the pic is brought back by Valkyries bringing your pic back from Gravure Valhala.

However, if you regretted taking nude pics or various sexploits... you would have to worry whenever the computer is sent to the workshop.

It's even worst for photos uploaded to the Internet.

Found this article on Yahoo!: No such thing as "deleted" on the Internet


"Why do "deleted" photos stick around so long? The problem relates to the way data is stored on large websites: While your personal computer only keeps one copy of a file, large-scale services like Facebook rely on what are called content delivery networks to manage data and distribution. It's a complex system wherein data is copied to multiple intermediate devices, usually to speed up access to files when millions of people are trying to access the service simultaneously. (Yahoo! Tech is served by dozens of servers, for example.) But because changes aren't reflected across the CDN immediately, ghost copies of files tend to linger for days or weeks."

I still think the best way is to not take any nude or sex pics at all, no matter what your "honey" says. For "own" use or whatever.

But I guess sometimes the curiosity of seeing ourselves in the buff in Jpeg form gets the better of oneself.
