Deleting Does Not Erase

When a file is deleted in an application or file manager, only the file name in the directory is marked as deleted. The data still reside in the disk sectors until overwritten by new data by the same or some other application. In the meantime, if somebody wanted the file badly enough, it can be reconstructed from the sector data.

That's definitley an interesting little fact there ...

Battle of Agincourt is actually one of my favorite battles of all time, simply because of the overwhelming odds that the British faced. While they would have had the advantage with the British Longbow Men (Widely considered to be the Machine-Gun of their time), they were made useless by the fact that the French had just found out how to make a nifty lil' thing called Steel. The Longbow Men's iron arrows would hardly dent the armor of the French Knights, and were effectivly made useless... In long range combat.

Agincourt was a plain type area, and had one certain place that ended with mountain (or some such) which caused a bottleneck. The English set up their troops there to help lessen advantage of the French Knight's superior numbers. While that did help, the one thing that pulled out the battle for the English was.... Mother Nature. It had rained the night before the Battle of Agincourt and the ground was thick with mud. Now, the lightly armored English Longbow Men had very little trouble with the mud beyond what any person would normally have as they were wearing cloth boots. The French Knights, however, were all decked out in their shiney new Steel armor which created a -very- strong suction with the mud. This basically allowed the Longbow Men to take their knives and hammers and run around, slaughtering the French Knights en masse.

And that's why the French didn't get the chance to take the middle fingers of those in the Battle of Agincourt. Most of this was learned from watching the History Channel, And I had actually seen a show that talked about the history of the middle finger called "Assume the Position with Mr. Whul" or something to that effect.

Well, I got mine in an email from someone that's kind of an idiot, he might have gotten it from someone else but still.

Yeah, that was a lot more interesting so I actually understood it lol. I was just like, "Stupid french." They're really not that dumb, everything I hear about 'em, they make the best s**t it's just a little off and that makes them suck.

What was that one thing they built a wall of cannons and everyone just walked around 'em?

Not really sure, but the French were actually a Powerhouse until everyone started using Gunpowder. They just couldn't make the leap. But they did have a few fights (Like everyone that people hear about) that show the low points of their fights, and it definantly makes them look like the Special Ed Fighting Force.

Yeah, it's because when they lost, they lost hard so they get all the attention. Most of my knowledge comes from Video Games or the History Channel. I'm just a fountain of useless knowledge.
