| wfz said: Nightsurge seems extremely paranoid about people stealing computers, and I find this weird considering I've never even heard of people doing that before. What situation do you find yourself in so often that makes it a potential threat? The only time you'd ever really be away from your notebook is when you're at home, right? Do you live with evil people? :P |
I'm not worried about people "stealing computers"... oh wait... I actually am kinda worried about that too, but I mostly meant I am worried about protecting the data on the computers.
I work at a university as an LSP (local service provider) for the Math Department. Basically I manage all IT needs for this department. Data protection as well as actual physical hardware protection is a very big deal for a university, especially given the government funding involved which makes this somewhat of a government institution.
And unfortunately you will find evil people everywhere. Just last year we had 3 laptops stolen by breaking into our cabinets in one of the labs (which have since seen much reinforcement to prevent this).
