The Mother of All Embarrassing E-Mails
Folks, please remember to be careful who you send your e-mails to. Otherwise you could have something like this on your hands: "The Email Scandal That Just Shook Cornell’s Campus". NSFW language. Link via Buzzfeed.

Embarrassing. Those bits don't go away. I'm so glad they didn't have the internet when I was young and stupid. On the other hand, I was involved in litigation where my adversary got access to about 8 hard drives that I had used for the prior 10 years because I had worked from home, so some of the 'confidential information' not yet defined was potentially in there, and very little was explicitly excluded from search. We settled, so it never mattered, but given the scope, their bad faith, and my daily usage of my computer, it was unnerving.
