Maybe slightly off topic, is there a program that would allow me to remote wipe a system if one gets stolen? Or automatically wipe out a system if it has not communicated with a central server for a set amount of time?
Hmmmmm neither Windows nor Mac OS allow for this, mostly because neither system can ensure a complete destruction of the partition its located on. However, there are plenty of laptops on the market(high-end Dells, Lenovos, HPs) which have built in GSM modems which can be issued a command remotely to wipe the hard drive.
