If you use File Shredder, you won't be able to recover the data, even with Recuva.

Well, it's proof of concept at the very least.

It's not a case of proving the concept, it's proving it works all the time. If I were to use that, I'd want to know there was as close to 100% success as possible on it. Otherwise I'd just be wasting my time. Oh, 11 people said it was ok? Yeah, and 99,000 people said it was ****.

Gonna have to do better than that. How many people have actually used it, do you know? Then you can see what sort of ratio 11 is. If only 11 have ever used it and they've all been successful, you got 100% success, if not ....

Well, if your government refuses to issue you a passport and you need to travel, why not at least TRY it?

It's all hypothetical with me, as I will never travel outside Ireland again, at least as long as Karen is alive. But if I had to, there's no reason why I couldn't get a passport here, and if for some reason I could not, I wouldn't trust a new, untried and almost beta website with that information unless it could be proven a) that the passport would be accepted as legal wherever I went and b) the details given would not be misused, sold on or copied. I don't want to find myself suddenly accused of being a member of ISIS! Passport info is VERY VERY sensitive, and I wouldn't reveal it to just anyone.

Cause I don't want to get arrested by South Africans?

I think World Passports were originally created for stateless refugees who otherwise wouldn't have been able to get one.

Not sure if anyone here would have a need for this, but I've used it for some drawing tools and to look a few things up.

I think it’s a cool thread. So everything’s not foolproof. That’s life.

COOL TIP: Say you are doing a Google search for cats and only want to find a certain type of results [PDF's for instance], simply type filetype:PDF along with your search term.
