Apparently they're using it to track how the students are performing during class by downloading the information. HIPAA has to come in to play here? http://unioneagle.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3032&Itemid=30

Fedor is an unstoppable killing machine I guess the Russians figure Fedora must be an unstoppable OS. What's next? A USA national operating system named Chuck Norris?

I don't agree with people screaming at their employees, taking credit shamelessly and kissing so much ass like the antagonist of todays story did however the not-nice guy did make a case for his job to the management. He feared losing his job and presented a case for himself to upper management.

In my experience if you don't make any noise(good or bad) then nobody knows you're there. I don't think this situation sounds like it had to do with being a nice guy as much as it did being a quiet guy.

On more than one occasion when removing old computers we pulled the drives and destroyed them while donating the old PC's. If you think about it then it's really a no brainer. What's the first thing you do when you get a machine that's come out of no place and been previously used? You snoop around for things.
