2.5 Years in Jail for Planting 'Logic Bomb'
cweditor writes "A former Medco Health systems administrator was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison and ordered to pay $81,200 in restitution for planting a logic bomb on a network that held customer health care information. The code was designed to delete almost all information on about 70 company servers. This may be longest federal prison sentence for trying to damage a corporate computer system, although Yung-Hsun Lin faced a maximum of 10 years." How long before the disgruntled sysadmin replaces the disgruntled postal worker in the zeitgeist?
1. Imagine an internet news site defined as the greatest conceivable news site: no dupes, no bad summaries, no typos, no goatse or gnaa or other tired cliches.
2. It is greater to exist in reality than merely in imagination.
3. If this perfect news site did not exist, then you could have an idea of an even greater new site - one which did exist.
4. In that case the perfect site in your imagination would not be perfect: a logical contradiction.
5. So this perfect news site must exist in reality.
6. ???
7. Profit!
Actually, I think its time for a Seinfeld reference. Anyone want to make one? I'm too disgruntled to think.
Ok, I've seen this in about every thread on slashdot for the last few weeks.
WTF does it mean? I mean I don't have a problem with people pushing a political agenda in Spam, but I have a hard enough time following the post. I think it's Anti-Bush, but then we have some stuff like Global Warming thrown in.
To the AC, clean up your wording and maybe more people will listen.
I read this same comment yesterday in the RIAA story. Why is Anonymous Coward so behind lately?
