1196810	2011-04-24 22:47:00	Thanks for the link - Love the way they make sure a HDD is "cleaned" to guarantee that when its replaced there is no way anyone could ever read the data :thumbs:	wainuitech (129)

1196814	2011-04-25 11:18:00	Yeah I saw XP too, I'm sure they had a strict "No Microsoft OS" policy? Or was that Apple?	Chilling_Silence (9)
1196815	2011-04-25 12:09:00	Yeah I saw XP too, I'm sure they had a strict "No Microsoft OS" policy? Or was that Apple? I would imagine that might definitely be true of Apple, but possibly Google datacentres are a different kettle of fish to the Google software development centres scattered around the world... I'll ask my cousin's husband - he works for Google in Sydney (lucky bugger!)...	johcar (6283)
