How would this be useful again? Let's remember that if the objective is to self educate, you can already do that quite well in this day and age. The Internet makes almost anything available to you, there are libraries (including the ones on Universities) open to the public, and indeed you can sit in on classes at some universities, even if you aren't a student (some have to allow that). Learning when and what you choose has never been easier.
That's kind of missing the point of a college degree, though. Sure, I've learned more through my own research and a lot of that would be useful on the job, but without a degree I'm pretty much sunk in my chosen field.
Lookee here, I've got a Knoppix CD. No more troubles with the guy's password. So no one at the PD was intelligent enough to do this why? As long as the disk isn't encrypted, what's stopping them?
