    what are the odds on these files being "accidentally" shredded?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,807 ✭✭✭Custardpi


    Put them all online & crowdsource the work.

    Kids in Iran are good at piecing together shredded documents.

    I seen on a film what was made by the guy who was in Gigli.

    Upon reading the thread title, I had to ask myself one very important question. Why in the name of fook would anyone need to examine 24 million flies??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,818 ✭✭✭donvito99


    Ye wikileak it. Or put the unemployed to work.

    24,000,000 / 450,000 = 53 documents for those on the dole.

    Not sure, but if they need them printed then Aengus Ó Snodaigh is your man.

    24 millions files?
    I call bull****.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,995 ✭✭✭Sofiztikated


    Just leave them, someone else will do it.

    Go for a walk around the office, hopefully they'll be done by the time you get back.

    Thought the thread title said 'Fastest way to examine 24 million flies' :o

    Was intrigued by such a random topic


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 411 ✭✭NotInventedHere


    Scan the lot using OCE and then search by keyword after a human analysis some of the key files.

    I will give it to the son of a bitch he has a good legal team!

    What he has is collusion and co-conspirators in the Anglo bail-out fraud. Arrest him and imprison him pending trial. His crimes are that serious. Draft up legislation of change the constitution. Whatever it takes to get some of these people behind bars.

    I'd be more interested in the cost to the taxpayer of examining these files rather than how they are going to go about it.

    I did the same. Was thinking "what the hell?" :o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 794 ✭✭✭bluecode


    Of course you don't have to examine all 24 million. There are relevent files and irrelevent files. But you only need one or two that point the finger.

    It always seem to me that the more guilty someone is the better his defence. If there were a couple of documents clearing him they would be found immediately.

    The usually delaying tactics from a crook with no conscience and no regrets for his behaviour.

    They're being stored in a warehouse (voting machine schtyle) owned by a Fine Fail politician who charges €10,000 a week for the privilege no doubt.

    JOKING!


    They're being stored in 10 warehouses owned by several Fine Gael & Fine Fail politicians who charge €10,000 a week .

    Before the ePuzzler program in the link below, since the fall of the Berlin Wall people were putting shredded Stasi files together, piece by piece, in the world's biggest and most painstaking jigsaw.

    The following key search words, should help shorten the search time significantly I think.

    “The taxpayer will cover the costs.”

    “Shaft them with abandon.”

    “They’ll take it up the árse for us.”

    “The money will be resting in many, many accounts.”

    And they get to the end and there's still about 5 pieces of sky and a corner piece missing!

    what are the odds on these files being "accidentally" shredded?

    It won't be.... the files are keeping them off trial, they are likely to be dead or infirmed by the time they are all analysed and a comprehensive report is issued. This sh1t is gonna take 15 years and sort nothing out. It will however, line the pockets of a lot of Lawyers.

    Control alt delete - Job done all files examined in a shot

    Yeah, i don't think that means what you think it means.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,281 ✭✭✭donegal_road


    its as simple as this... 'please Mr. Fitzpatrick, could you tell us which files are most relevant to this investigation? thanks'

    Try this one

    "Mr Fitzpatrick, is there any particular file you DON'T want us to look at? That one? Right lads, someone go to college for 15 years, to figure out how to open a word document. What, it won't open? What the hell is a .docx file?"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 145 ✭✭Elfinknight


    its as simple as this... 'please Mr. Fitzpatrick, could you tell us which files are most relevant to this investigation? thanks'

    And then look at the rest i presume.

    In this country it's traditional to use a flood to destroy paper work.

    Fire are soo hard to backdate, but a flood in a basement could have happened yonks ago "and we only found out when we opened the boxes"

    have they printed these double sided ?

    Basic defense technique, bombard the prosecution with information (90% of which is probably print outs of random websites & copies of Fifty Shades thrown in for good measure)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,496 ✭✭✭Boombastic


    If they put them up in After hours, we'd have it done by midnight


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,184 ✭✭✭3ndahalfof6

    Make a big heap and set fire to it, and throw anyone who breathes a sigh of relief into the flames.

    Ahem. That might be a bit ambitious in some cases. I can see the returns on the "why didn't you do your 53 pages" form;

    Please tick the applicable box:
    Illiterate...() Can't be 4rsed....()
    Was busy doing a nixer....() Kids ate them...()
    Dog ate them...() Got drunk and lit fire with them...()
    Didn't get them in the first place...() Got them and was traumatised and stressed and will now sue...() Got them and sold them to "The Sun"...()
    Had no idea what ye wanted...() Found three typos, was that the task?..()

    etc etc. Might be easier and cheaper just to burn them.
