pop quiz

Had your first sips of coffee?

Don't worry, no math, and you don't need coffee for this. It's easy. This is an observation quiz. In the box below, for 5 points and the admiration of your peers, type the answer to the question, "What is missing from this photograph?"

I've never seen the inside of a laptop. No hard drive? that would be my guess.

There is no harddrive, which is all that needed to be destroyed.

There is no processor, even the graphics processor (red card) was stripped off.

But then if you know that red card is a graphics card, then you probably know that it was never in a MacBook, which doesn't use PCI/AGP type cards.

It's surely encrypted and put all over the web in various clouds in any case.

Then the release of address and key exposes it all, if that's someday desired.

What's missing is a reasonable hope of complete deletion.

Discuss.

It strikes me as a yet another reason to despise our erstwhile allies, the Brits.

"What is missing from this photograph?"

The skeletal remains of the little mouse that ran things from the inside.

I love the sounds of geekdom in the morning.

PS What Leland said.

All of it.

The warranty.

Hard drive.

And what Leland said. Just some random old computer parts for show.

OT, but a pop quiz just the same:

Was it Susan Rice or Samanthat Power who said, "It's a slam dunk, Mr President", after the Choom Gang settled on this as a pretext to follow the Frawgs into Syria.

And is this, including the link, the reason why?

Lots of stuff. As been noted,no hard drive, but also no cd-rom, no cooling fins or fan, no usb connectors. It's just random computer parts. I am throwing away stuff like this, this very week. Some of it comes from a Commodore 128.
