Q. Last night my external hard drive took a nasty tumble. The case popped up slightly (less than a quarter inch) but no inner workings were exposed. When I went to plug it back in the white light on the back of the hard drive was blinking and I could hear and feel the drive spinning but it didn't register on neither my nor my girlfriend's PC. We're both running Windows Vista. The connecting cable is working fine, and I'm pretty sure nothing inside the hard drive is broken. I've tried a few file recovery programs but I don't think they're finding the external either. I know manual data recovery is also expensive so I'm curious if anyone has a program or has encountered a similar situation. And if it is beyond recovery software does anyone know a good place for data recovery in Toronto? Any help is appreciated.
A. seems more like the components of the external hard drive case may now be faulty , I am guessing the USB that connects the drive to your puter , grab another external hard drive case off Ebay ,and put your old hard drive in that , I reckon in should then work , lights flashing and spinning means that it has survived in my book.
does anyone know any places or companies that can repair hard drives and recover data at reasonable price?
Q. I live in the philadelphia area, pennsylvania
I already spoke w/ the geek squad and they can't do anything, they only referred me to the manufacfturer, (western digital) and they don't do data repair, only replacement. I received repair service quotes for $1500-$2000 from respectable companies. I need a cheaper solution
My budget is $300, it's mostly music and movies, but it's not backed up and it's 109gb worth

HomosexualityâIs the Bibleâs View Reasonable?
Q. How times have changed! Canadaâs Toronto Star noted that not long ago âthe very idea of gays or lesbians openly cohabiting was a moral outrage.â Yet, Barbara Freemen, a teacher of social history at Carleton University, Ottawa, observes: âPeople now say, âPrivate life is private life. We donât want other people interfering.ââ
Clearly, over the past few decades, morals have deteriorated rapidly in many places worldwide. What has led to these radical changes? How do you personally feel about them? And what do the changes indicate for the future?

A. Ah geez, not this nonsense again? Are we to believe and live by everything the Bible says?
Psalm 137:8-9 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)
O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction,
happy is he who repays you
for what you have done to us-he who seizes your infants
and dashes them against the rocks.
Deuteronomy 21:18-21 âIf a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.â
Leviticus 20:9 âFor every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.â
If a man commits adultery with another man's wife, both the man and the woman must be put to death. (Leviticus 20:10 NLT)
But if this charge is true (that she wasn't a virgin on her wedding night), and evidence of the girls virginity is not found, they shall bring the girl to the entrance of her fathers house and there her townsman shall stone her to death, because she committed a crime against Israel by her unchasteness in her father's house. Thus shall you purge the evil from your midst. (Deuteronomy 22:20-21 NAB)
The LORD then gave these further instructions to Moses: 'Tell the people of Israel to keep my Sabbath day, for the Sabbath is a sign of the covenant between me and you forever. It helps you to remember that I am the LORD, who makes you holy. Yes, keep the Sabbath day, for it is holy. Anyone who desecrates it must die; anyone who works on that day will be cut off from the community. Work six days only, but the seventh day must be a day of total rest. I repeat: Because the LORD considers it a holy day, anyone who works on the Sabbath must be put to death.' (Exodus 31:12-15 NLT)
And you might want to take this into account before you suggest the Bible as a cure for "declining morals".
"A STRENGTHENING of religious faith is often raised as the answer to society's ills. Peter Costello has said, for example, "that a recovery of faith would go a long way" to solving many of our society's problems. The Prime Minister, too, has publicly argued for the societal benefits of religiosity, claiming that "the Christian religion is the greatest force for good in this nation". Labor's Lindsay Tanner, a self-described agnostic, seems to agree, stating that "without some kind of sustained spiritual input" our society will "degenerate into a bleak utilitarian shell that debases us all".
Many ordinary Australians share the belief that religious faith is an indicator of morality, and it is accepted wisdom that high rates of religious practice correlate with lower rates of crime, promiscuity and abortion.
However, a study published in the Journal of Religion and Society, an American academic journal, set out to test this hypothesis and found there is an inverse relationship between religiosity and public health and social stability. The study, "Cross-National Correlations of Quantifiable Societal Health with Popular Religiosity and Secularism in the Prosperous Democracies", compared social indicators such as murder rates, abortion, suicide and teenage pregnancy using data from the International Social Survey Program, Gallup and other research bodies.
"In general," writes the author, Gregory Paul, "higher rates of belief in and worship of a creator correlate with higher rates of homicide, juvenile and early adult mortality, STD infection rates, teen pregnancy and abortion in the prosperous democracies."
A striking example of this is the US, which has the highest degrees of religious faith and the highest rates of homicide, abortion, STD infection and teenage pregnancy. The least religious countries - Japan, France and Scandinavia - have the lowest rates of violent crime, juvenile mortality and abortion...."
