Almost 10 years ago I was taking C/C++ programming non credit class at a large educational institution near CalTech (Pasadena, CA). We had to go to the college lab to write programs but instead doing my class work I explored the all shared network drives containing confidential or may be even classified files from school grants to politics.

The people pursuing the FOIA requests need to get in gear and sue these A-holes to force “official” release of these docs.

I did that once too. Stopped when I accidently printed off the schools payroll.

The liberals will continue as though nothing has happened.

You just expressed my suspicion -- that these guys had this data on a server on the network that anyone at the college has read access to as long as they have an account at the university. Another interesting observation about this information is with respect to the size of the compressed archive (61.mb). I have worked on several software projects for different companies and it is not uncommon to generate 150mb or more just in artifacts related to describing and implementing the software solution. Data sizes are typically in the gigabyte or greater range.

If these guys don't have data connections to industrial size databases where they are crunching the data then it just adds to the skepticism. I am downloading the compressed archive now and will check it out thanks for posting that hyperlink for it.
