What about the setting for 'day's to 0?
And what about all these crime shows that have the FBI or police come
in and confiscate somebody's computer. The criminal has stuff they
retrieve to ultimately convict them. If they would have reset their
History, that would have never happened, would it? My history was set
at 20, and since I haven't tampered with that before, think that must
be a default setting. I wonder how far it can go, or if other systems
have different settings?
