Lol, in response to that second article, at my comp club we were given a bunch of old comps to tinker with. Fine. I took one of em, booted it up, and looked at what was on the hard drive. Every student's record in the school!!

You realize that if any student has a criminal record it may be purged when they are eighteen (if they ask) from their school records.

I'm not sure what this would mean to you, but nonetheless, you'll be in possession of material that nobody should have.

Wait wait, so if I did something real bad, and it went on my record, I could have it gone when I'm 18? So colleges won't see it?

I'm not sure exactly how it works, but the criminal record would be sealed by the court at your request when you are 18. If the school then had it in their records as well I'm fairly sure that it has to be removed from there if you request it.

LOL... I love that keyboard.

When I had to examen a couple of systems left by a company that went bakrupt for someone else we found out that they didn't delete a single file. All documents and excel sheats containing financial data where still on those drives. Pretty stupid if you ask me.

My dual-PSU PC is so powerfull that the neighbourhood dimms when I turn it on :eek:
