Excerpt:

(CBS News) CBS News stated how Adam Lanza ruined his computer systems before he drove to Sandy Hook Elementary School on Friday. Investigators state the Newtown gunman did such a thorough job, the FBI has actually been not able to recover any info from those computer systems. But CBS News saw one company that may be able to help. When Hurricane Sandy cleaned with the Northeast, it saturated thousands of computer systems. Some of their owners are looking for a miracle from Michael Diomidous. He runs Data Recovery Operations for Kroll, the company now attempting to wring out info from those water-logged hard-drives. Kroll technicians recovered 99 percent of the data from another drive blown into the environment after the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster. That nearly thawed drive sat at the bottom of a Texas lake for 6 months. They were successful after 9/11.

-0.105748Venema said, "So even if somebody deletes a file and it's spread on different places on the hard drive, Kroll's proprietary software will find those bits and pieces and put them back together."
-0.177892Venema said they contain "obviously incriminating evidence, without question."
-0.225957He said, "Even somebody that has the most heinous intent to destroy something might end up missing all the important parts of the drive, just by happenstance or the stress of the situation."

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
