The farker who stole the laptop, whoever you are, be prepared to have your head laid on a platter!

No, not my laptop. Jasper Rine's laptop. Dr. Rine is a professor at UC Berkeley, which ironically won accolades for campus security. Short of calling NASA to shoot deadly laser beams down at the thief, Dr. Rine has sworn swift and unforgiving measures by way of FBI and U.S Marshals, because of the "Top Secret Trial and Industrial Information" residing on the laptop. These information were gathered from his consulting career, which I might add should be ending really soon.

I do think Mr. Rine's threats are nothing but hollywood-style BS however. Many others think so too. I'd be nervous enough to spout hot-air if I were him, seeing as how I'm about to lose so much painstakingly gathered data and client confidence. If he'd actually said the things he said during an IT lecture, he'd be laughed out of the lecture hall. There were so many technical inconsistencies in his little rant, that one could write an essay that simply focused on refuting his claims. Sad to say dear sir, specific instances of electronic duplication is virtually unverifiable, unless planned in the first place. Nonetheless, I wish Dr. Rine all the best in retrieving his laptop and preserving his international dignity (going by the fark forum, the latter is batting negative).

Links to the relevant bit of the video can be found via Boing Boing, and I've taken the liberty of mirroring the mp4 here. Use Media Player to view. Kudos to caustic.soda for first noticing it. His link to the vid however, seems to be down, and I've also been blocked from his website due to spamming (I believe this is the first time I've been called a spammer). Good thing my IP should change within a few minutes thanks to DHCP.
