Present american generation is nothing but a bunch of weed smoking idiots....

if NASA has sensitive info they should have just yanked the HDD's and set them under the launch pad in one of the exhaust vents for the last shuttle mission. but then again this info is probably about as old as the hundreds of 486 processors used in every shuttle dating back to columbia. talk about time for an upgrade!

 

[Randomacts]

They should have sold the PCs w/o the HDD

I think someone at NASA is about to be charged with rape.

 

[Parsian]

What could be so sensitive from a Shuttle's computer? They are responsible to carry international spacemen to international space station and do repairs...

I'm sure the federal government will keep our national healthcare medical records safe and secure, and that none if it will wind up being used for identity theft and fraud... right....

one of the hdd contains 56 years of playboy bunnies pics
just physically destroy those hdds

 

[makwy2]

Ah... I remember the days when the people at NASA were so awesome they married genies and such... good times, I tell ya! Nowadays they cannot control their own info.

 

[stevo777]

Yeah, I heard on the TV news about this. The anchor was asking what would happen if the info fell into the wrong hands. Seems to me it was already in the wrong hands.

I bet NASA is pretty pissed that the information about the newly captured aliens being sent to area 51 got leaked.

 

[stevelord]

This happens with a lot of government agencies (primarily lower level though.) Especially with regards to copier machines.

^^ Right, should have benn sold w/o hdd, no risk-

 

[belardo]

Its really really easy to handle this.

Pull the HD... take a hammer to the HD. Sell the PC without the HD.

 

[mjello]

Actually a hammer isn't enough unless you have a lot of patience and strong arms. Powerdrills work better.

 

[doive1231]

Shuttle PCs.......ha,ha.

 

[abhijeet1982]

ha ha may by they found aliens on mars and had coffee with them or the shuttle carried those computer was rented to aliens for weekend

 

[shin0bi272]

well when you consider that that arsenic based life form was a lie and that they are a government agency should we really be surprised that they cant keep track of their own crap?

American needs to get it's act together and tighten access to their sensitive technology and information. Billions of dollars in research only to have someones "accident" put it on the market. America has become a joke at how it is protecting their crucial data from outsiders and doesn't care because they think they can keep throwing trillions of new dollars more at new research and breakthroughs forever.
