This article in the Sydney Morning Herald reporting on research done at The University of NSW suggests the use of Microsoft PowerPoint (and similar products) in lectures and meetings actually makes it harder to absorb facts, rather than being a reinforcement of key points.

Recently I had to replace some hard disk drives from the same batch which had failed, while still under warranty. Because the drives were no longer recognised by the SCSI controller, it was not possible to erase the data on them.
In view of the sensitivity of the data contained upon them, and the chance this was still forensically recoverable, our company decided to buy new drives, rather than risk the disclosure of their contents by returning then to the supplier.
How would you non-distructively (physically) destroy data on a hard disk without access to a bulk eraser? Obviously in this case it's a bit late to be thinking of using encryption.
