<p>the thief must be quivering at his fate</p>
<p>Wow . . . . .</p>
<p>i second drab...wow!</p>
<p>In the words of drab, "Wow..." but didn't they catch whoever it was that had the laptop?</p>
<p>I think the guy turned himself in, but i'm not sure.</p>
<p>I had heard and read about this before, but had not seen it.</p>
<p>Wow, still.</p>
<p>What Class was that? Grad/Undergrad?</p>
<p>Wow, what a liar! If the person had been seen and identified then why would the teacher go through all the trouble of giving a big scary speech? And why, if the computer is so darn important and has billions and jillions of dollars worth of data on it would he just leave it unattended in his office? And the bit about microsoft calling him 15 minutes after the computer was stolen and being so confused as to why two computers were running the same windows, I had a hard time not peeing myself when I heard that. This guy deserved to have his computer stolen.</p>
<p>his statements were found to be complete lies... </p>
<p>and i think the person was never caught.</p>
<p>the recent news about the lap top recovery was a different lap top.</p>
<p>Suppodedly Bio 1a, so undergrad. This was a few years ago.</p>
<p>It's pretty funny that it didn't work. He hammed it up way too much. If he had just said, "By the way, my laptop was stolen, and it has a tracker inside it that has traced it to the exact area that it is being kept. There is an empty room in such and such place that you can leave it, and if it is not damaged, I will not pursue the matter further except to drop you from the class. Now, onto Fungi."</p>
<p>That was definitely overdramatic. Secondly, I seriously doubt the FBI and the Federal Marshalls were scouring Berkeley looking for a 19 year old kid with a laptop (that just narrows it down to oh...22,000 students). Thirdly, I'm still wondering why a laptop with the trade secrets for a "pre-public biotech company" and millions of dollars worth of NIH data was left UNATTENDED in some office or lecture hall. If I was the professor, I would've handcuffed the laptop to my wrist and swallowed the key. Every time I needed to use the laptop, I would just vomit the key back (along with my breakfast). (Yes, I'm exagerrating, I wouldn't actually do that.)</p>
<p>Actually this wasn't a few years ago; this was last year.</p>
<p>I've seen this a while ago, pretty sure it is older than a year old. He was too dramatic about it. The guy who stole it probably could tell he was Bsing.</p>
<p>it is NOT older than a few years ago. it happened during the spring semester of 05.</p>
<p>Okay, how about somebody present a newspaper article or something showing a date and not just saying when it was?</p>
<p>My hallmate from last year was in that class when it happened...</p>
<p>Trust us older, non-freshman on this. (I'm a sophomore.)</p>
<p>It was spring 2005.</p>
<p>Can't locate an article on that stolen laptop, although there is news on the other one with grad students' data...</p>
<p>Even though I guess it was evident that the thief was in the class, can you imagine... (sorry about bringing back an old post)</p>
<p>yea *** dude come on this was in Pimentel last year Spring 05. </p>
<p>1) This is bs.
2) M$ doesn't check for product keys when you log onto the internet. The only product key checking is WGA which is done when windows update is done, and this was only made MANDATORY during summer.
3) Yea anyone with trade secrest wouldn't put them on their laptop and leave them in lecture in the open
4) Anyone with such mission critical data would encrypt it all and moreover...</p>
<p>Transponders in laptops huh. What do you think this is, an aircraft?</p>
<p>You can't TRACK a computer wherever it goes because its wireless card is on. Wireless cards don't connect to networks unless they're set to do so or you manually set them to. Moreover, ok, you know he's on campus. Now what? Do you even know how large the campus is? Har.</p>
<p>This guy never got his laptop back. I say he deserves it. Any f@g who uses such blatant idiotic lies should be shot. If you want your laptop back, be honest and make your plea properly.</p>
