Binary Expressions

This is old news by now but I had to comment on this because it just blew me away.

I came across this article talking about the lost of computer systems in the British government. This is obscured amount of missing computer systems. 153 lost last year alone and 23 lost this year. I’m sorry but this is udderly ridiculous. I would be demanding as to why this is happening and what is going to be done about it. There should be no reason for this occurring, period! Maybe I’m out to lunch of internal/external theft within a organization but please there must be something that can be done. It’s great that the numbers has been dramatically reduced however stating that this is “similar in percentage terms to any large organization” and stating that they have policies to encrypt the data so it’s safe. Come on people, encryption can be broken especially for a price. It’s nice they have such a policy but lets get things straight here.
