Suggestion for a webmail application with good Hebrew Support

[ronys]

Hi Shachar,
 
'urban legend' may be a bit strong. The reference I had in mind was
http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/secure_del.html
which is a bit dated (circa 1996, plus a couple of undated epilogues), but still an interesting read.
 
Of course, if you're going to keep sensitive data on magentic media, it's *much* easier to use an encrypted partition (e.g., dm-crypt  <http://www.saout.de/misc/dm-crypt/> http://www.saout.de/misc/dm-crypt/ or TrueCrypt http://www.truecrypt.org/) and securely destroy the keys.

Note that if you're going to dd, at least use if=/dev/urandom. Running dd several (>10) times is best (or using shred(1), which does the same).

I am familiar with the urban legend. From what I read about the technique by which you reconstruct older generation data, I'm not sure it would make that much of a difference.
