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?
'Act of god' or whatever. They will never take responsibility, only your money.
Blar.
"Programming" is what Indian code monkeys do as well as those like yourself who will probably be replaced by them soon. "Development" is the end to end design and implementation of an entire software system. I realize it's not for everyone though, it's a fairly advanced stage in one's career. People like you who are content with merely "programming" are still needed to pound the nails once the blueprints have been made though, and hey, you speak English better than the Indians so I'm pulling to keep you on board too.
