Rodda speculated that more sophisticated gear using high frequencies to "degauss" a croc's magnetic sensors - a process similar to erasing a music tape - could be more effective, but said magnets also could do the job. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Computer monitors When you press "degauss" on your monitor, what does it do and how does it work? ❋ Unknown (2009)
Olbermann is the next Ed Murrow, I predicted, the way the idea-impaired CBS News brainiacs could degauss themselves of all past mistakes ❋ Unknown (2008)
Or suppose Moseley, a few years later, had not applied the new equations in his laboratory, had not discovered he could degauss the effects of cold iron and release the goetic forces -- We'd have a world dominated by fossil fuels and electricity. ❋ Anderson, Poul, 1926- (1999)
She had toyed with the notion of going to one of the jock hackers she knew for some kind of portable induction coil simply to degauss the stolen computer's circuits; but from what she had read of its specs, she knew its shielding was up to anything a battery was likely to generate, and there was no guarantee she'd be able to tap into the computer's magical electrical source herself. ❋ Hambly, Barbara (1988)
He even amused himself in gunnery practice by warning his men against low-elevation shelling over his area, because "the pixies would degauss (demagnetize) their proximity fuses". ❋ Sturgeon, Theodore, 1918-1985 (1953)
Someone said, "Up forty or better on your right quadrant, corp'r'l, or the pixies'll degauss your fuses." ❋ Sturgeon, Theodore, 1918-1985 (1953)
His cheeks flushed, his eyes expertly anticipating the appearance-point of each target, Hip said out of the corner of his mouth, "Up forty or better on your right quadrant, corp'r'l, or the pixies'll degauss your fuses." ❋ Sturgeon, Theodore, 1918-1985 (1953)
Last month we looked at services that degauss and shred hard drives as the ultimate data security measure. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Secure Erase software, or to disassemble the device and degauss all of the exposed parts. ❋ Jessica Dweck (2010)
I've read (but never confirmed) something like this to fix the screen w/o degauss. ❋ Unknown (2010)
What you have to do is find someone who can degauss your drive. ❋ Unknown (2009)
While there are many quite foolish methods for destroying hard drives online, the most failsafe and sensible is to unscrew the case, remove the platters (the actual disks) and use the magnets on the inside of the hard drive to degauss them. ❋ Paul Booth (2009)
Superconductors At War April 29, 2009: The U.S. Navy has developed a technique, using superconductors, to rapidly degauss the hull of a warship, and make is less detectable by naval mines that sense large metal objects. ❋ Unknown (2009)
This is where the degauss technology becomes useful, because a smart mine will often go off only if a certain type of ship (setting off a specified number of sensors in a specified way) passes overhead. ❋ Unknown (2009)
US DOD standards up until 2007 specified that seven rewrites was sufficient, they have now changed their position to requiring a degauss which as well as erasing the drive effectively renders it useless. ❋ Unknown (2009)
