Ebay Bargains & Oddities

SECRET ROCKET DATA ON EBAY
Quote:
Kim Jong Il must be sorry he missed this eBay bargain -- for $29, he could have had launch procedures and blueprints of a US missile defense system.

Instead of helping North Korea's nuke efforts, the data on a used computer hard drive ended up in the hands of a Virginia college professor, who promptly turned it over to the FBI.

Glenn Dardick, who teaches information systems at Longwood University, found the missile-system details on a hard drive one of his students bought on eBay.
Not really weird news and thought this might be a neat new thread...
