Hell why not, that's how the US got to be top dog, help from Nazi scientist after the war.

The Germans were light years ahead of everyone with their rocket technology, the Russians managed to scraped up of few of them but the lions share went to the US, firing squad or work for uncle Sam.
war technology has been passed down from one people to the next. Sun Tzu - The Art of War is used by the US government so why not get paid for some US technology you legally bought. I'm not American BTW

1. The MIS department is responsible for software and hardware.
2. Engineering thinks all of MIS is incapable and that they can do better.
3. Engineering completely disregards MIS.
4. Engineering sends old hard drives home with a janitor... (no, seriously)

Things like this happen because companies don't enforce policies from the top down, you'd certainly hope that a company with such a high level of security access would have strict enough procedures in place to prevent something like this from happening... apparently not strict enough.]]>May 7th 2009 8:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/07/study-finds-that-lockheed-martin-needs-to-stop-disposing-of-hard/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/07/study-finds-that-lockheed-martin-needs-to-stop-disposing-of-hard/
I work for LM and I can tell you that classified drives are NEVER resold. They are destroyed. They do this because they know you can never truly make all the data irrecoverable. So I'm asking you to please get your titles straight as your looseness with wording, if taken literally, would be tantamount to putting the company out of business. That can majorly affect a company when reported in the media. ]]>May 7th 2009 8:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/07/study-finds-that-lockheed-martin-needs-to-stop-disposing-of-hard/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/07/study-finds-that-lockheed-martin-needs-to-stop-disposing-of-hard/
