I wouldn't worry about it. The chances of a.) the person finding out and b.) the person actually giving a shit are pretty slim. I definately wouldn't rat him out...especially if he's a lead. Although it may seem like the ethical thing to do, in reality being labled a 'rat' in a company is pretty detrimental to a person's political status. If shit hits the fan, management will deal with it accordingly (after all, isn't that what `svn blame' is for?).
In my experience, it's not the needle prick that's painful but the medicine being injected into you. Maybe they should work on getting that not to sting so much.
Although not ideal, it gets the job done fairly cheaply. I have a media server that utilizes LVM, spanning across multiple disks. I also have an external enclosure with a drive that is large enough to hold everything that's stored on the server, plus some more. The external enclosure has both an eSATA and USB 2.0 port. I back up everything on the server to the external drive via rsync utilizing the eSATA port (I had a cheaper enclosure that only supported USB 2.0 that I was using before, until the USB-ATA bridge crapped out during a restore and I almost lost all of my data, so I only use eSATA for backups/restores now). Whenever I run out of space on the server, I buy a new drive that is larger than the drive currently in the enclosure, move the drive in the enclosure into the server, add it to the LVM volume group, extend the logical volume to include the newly installed drive, and extend the filesystem to use the newly created space in the logical volume. It works for now until my data on the server uses over a terabyte, since that's the max my enclosure will support..then I'll have to come up with a different solution for backing up.
I trust Blizzard with my gaming computer. I would rather lose a bit of privacy and not have annoying crackers trying to game the game.
Yeah...it's this type of reasoning that lets the US government get away with wire-tapping w/out a warrant and other similar privacy violating activities.
Yeah, WoW is like digital crack to it's users. Blizzard could probably pull off taking people's first-borns and they'd be ok with it as long as their account stayed active.
You know, if Microsoft was a proactive company instead of a reactive one, they might actually be able to legitimately claim that they are innovators. I'd say 95% of the crap they produce is the result of a response to products already available on the market. If you're going to copy somebody else's product, then it needs to be an improved version of it....this is one big reason why I have no doubt in my mind that Linux will eventually overtake Microsoft in the OS market.
If your application follows the n-tier or MVC architectures, there's no reason for your database server to be exposed in the first place. No database should ever be accessible directly from the Internet..ever. If you feel differently, then you probably need to reevaluate your design strategy.
Unfortunately Wal-Mart have made a huge oversight, and they're gonna have quite a few disgruntled customers because of it. I mean, they forgot the "not good for pr0n" disclaimer!!!
I beg to differ. Pan + unrar + mplayer = god's gift to nerds
yeah..judging from the customer comments, it sounds like they're quite happy with them. if the walmart crowd is happy with them, then I think Linux is definately ready for the masses.

shhhh! don't tell them that, I was hoping to pick up some free Macs after a night of dumpster diving...
My personal favorite:
Zap Brannigan: Ahh, my home away from home. By the way Kiff, your toilet seems to be set to stun and not kill
but why restrict it to 3rd world countries when the appeal is universal?
Apparently you're missing the point of the project...

(And you could keep going, adding inches to the case until you had 512 or 640K or some-such.)
Good thing u'd never need more than 640K...ever, otherwise u'd be constructing quite a skyscraper.
ghey......that is all
Heh, just tell him the first month is free, after that he's gotta pay up or you're coming after his knee caps..
I hate to break it to you, but we're talking about a game here, not federal politics. The two aren't even remotely related.
The issues aren't related, but the mindset is...

welp, it was only a matter of time. let this be a lesson to the rest of you BOFH ISPs

Sounds like someone's putting their MBA to good use.
Oh yeah? What about my iPod, Bill?
Or my Ubuntu box, Steve (Ballmer)?

Someone told me that you can actually hook a bluetooth keyboard up to the iPhone, can anyone verify this?
It seems like everyone is trying to jump into too many new markets these days.
Yes, it's called diversifying your risk away. Companies do this so they don't have all of their eggs laying in one basket.

if this isn't chair-throwing worthy, I don't know what is.
this is great news indeed....lets just hope we don't see an equal number of returns/exchanges in a month or two..
They are making sure they get a judge who has never heard of a computer before.
Actually, as many software patent cases they've been hearing lately, I'm quite positive they've heard of computers before..
