| 213348 | 2004-02-06 21:28:00 | Read this today: Sharman Networks, the creators of the Kazaa file sharing network, found their offices and homes raided today by Australian music industry "investigators", who also raided two Universities and several additional businesses. Sharman networks says the raids were a "a knee-jerk reaction by the recording industry to discredit" the company. - More on: www.broadbandreports.com |

| 213349 | 2004-02-06 22:30:00 | Wow - I always thought that "raids" could only be carried out by duly authorised officers of the courts - i.e. warranted policepersons. Do these "inspectors" have special powers in Kiwiland? P.s. I don't use KaZaa |

The can exceeds a wavelength in size and will reflect most of the energy. Any absorbed energy will be absorbed by the outer case, and not the magnetic media. Eventually it may get hot enough, if the microwave isn't destroyed first. There is a difference between magnetic waves needed to erase HDD material and microwaves. Many orders of magnatudes in frequency difference. |
