Not if you don't have a floppy drive! Throw away that legacy hardware
people - do as Steve does. :) We shall overcome...
(If you're really uneasy about that, throw in a removable floppy bay. You're
not going to really need a floppy unless you're rebooting anway.)
Proved quite nicely by the recent story about Debian confusing a notebook
thief, you can rely on stupidity, ignorance and pressure to foil the
amateurs.

If you're feeling wacky, and get a certain amount of satisfaction confusing
would-be corporate saboteurs, overclock the machine to hell, and pop it in a
crate of mineral oil.
Watch them look for the floppy drive!
Watch them look for the case screws!
Watch them try to remove the hard drive!
Cackle with glee at the security camera recording as they slide about
desperately trying to work out how they failed.
