AOL CTO Shown the Door

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the goodbye dept.

BrewerDude writes "Reuters is reporting that AOL Chief Technical Officer Maureen Govern has resigned from the company. Is this an appropriate penalty for releasing 20 million keyword search results, or is it too harsh, or not harsh enough? What do the slashdot readers think is the appropriate outcome of this fiasco?"

    There is no more such thing as "an inherent right of humanity" as their is "an inherent right of millipedes". Once you realize you are no more important to this universe than a common ant you may gain a bit of perspective on your self-realized importance. Society (and by extension government) grants rights - you are born with none.
