  Besides actually getting rid of hardware, you also don't want to do DoD-grade wipes of your drives, if a lawsuit is on the horizon.
  
  This is akin to finding bleach at a crimescene.

• NEWS: "CANDLE MAKERS SUE EDISON!!"
  No business is promised a profit!
  
  Are Candlestick Makers entitled to sue lightbulb owners, because they don't buy candles anymore?
  
  Candlestick Makers and the RIAA aren't promised a profit.
  
  Record buyers for years have been wanting legal downloads, and the record companies fought tooth and nail. Then we have iTunes -- and guess what? -- it's was a success!
  
  Record stores are over!
  
  Getting ripped off on $20 CDs is over!
  
  Musicians making cents per album is over!
  
  Master and Servant record contracts are over!
  
  Record companies are over!
  
  ProTools, MySpace, and websites have made the RIAA and Record Companies as useless as Candlestick Makers.
  
  And the RIAA, you are in the last throes. Keep the lawsuits coming, and futher make your customers and fans hate you.

• Clueless
  Hey clueless, obviously having iPod in the title got people to read the article, and of course the iPod is not the only vector, all usb devices are.
  
  Look in the mirror before you call others stupid, and get back to making my fries!

• Article is NOT a mess
  The article is right on -- you are not.
  
  After the iPod is connected you it can execute Autorun, just like a CD.
  
  This can even be done behind a "Locked" console.

• Bad Analogy
  The "Oil Light/Car" analogy is a bad one.
  
  A better analogy would be cars that come
  with no doors. Then the user buys doors
  and other protections for their car.
  
  A car with no doors is vulnerable.

• Great Article
  It's beaten into every new programmer that every piece of data needs to be thrown into a powerful relational database, even though it might be overkill for their project.
  
  There is a reason why SMTP servers use flat files, because they scale well, are efficient, their portable, and no corruption will occur. Ask a MS Exchange Admin who's on his 50th mailstore recovery if he likes the "all eggs in one basket" approach.
  
  Data retention will be an ever growing problem, not just with space allotment, but with future data formats. How do you know in 20 years if the data you have now can even be read? Archiving records in plain-text is the only way to insure your data can be read 5, 10, even 50 years from now.
