An Eden Prairie company, Kroll Ontrack, Inc., recovered nearly 400mb of data from a hard drive aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia and was apparently able to complete some of the science experiments conducted onboard the flight. But it appears Kroll may be a very intriguing company beyond its data recovery operations.

Depends on who's doin' the preachin', I suppose.
Wait, it's not a sham?

I really don't understand how people can do this to innocent children.
How about a scavenger hunt to meet Mark Sanford's girlfriend?

The guardian article is overblown circumstantial rubbish. It would be unusual for a company -not- to make the occasional mistake in hiring.

I know a couple people who work for Kroll. Seems like a good company to work for and interesting work to do.

As an expert in magnetic recording, I will say that this is not a big deal.
The hard drive was still in one piece, and the platters (which contain the actual data) appeared to be intact.
The head of the drive and circuitry was probably damaged, but the actual magnetic media should be fine unless it was exposed to high temperatures.

Umm nice picture.
However as is seen below, the hard is in one piece, with no signs of melting or anything. Also the platters look to be in fairly good shape.
