If any boss thinks that you could be replaced by a student for $10.00/hr, then there is no respect. I had a job like that once, right out of college. Got paid $35k a year when the state average was $45k for the exact same job. After eight months of my boss passively insulting my value I gave them the finger and went and found a job that paid $75k a year.
What I'm trying to say is, if you're working a job where your boss thinks that lowly of your position it's time to get a new job. Let the idiot learn the hard way.
The CIA, White House, and others can destroy evidence all the time and there's never any consequences. I hear Bush heats his ranch with compressed rolls of shredded evidence. Yea, cus your initial post definitely doesn't have any personal resentment and the last sentence is definitely indisputable and mired in neutral.
This is how I would go about this. I would get a free copy of vista. Then, I would set web cam up outside on the driveway. I would grab a wood maul and just go to town on the disc, and do my best to savor the thought of MS technicians staring on in horror. Are you kidding? They'd be laughing at how stupid you look smashing something on your driveway with a wood maul. They'd probably wonder if it was a +2 Strength maul and what enchantments it had, that would make you record yourself doing it.
Google is the default because it's the best. How do you define best? How do you make it a non-subjective? Do you determine they're best because they're the most preferred by users?
Sturmgeist is also a Black metal / thrash metal band. For those not familiar with your stereotypical black metal fans let me advise you that there are two kinds (these are your stereotypical listeners, not all).
Type 1. Goths people, who do it for the image (Cradle of Filth fans).
Type 2. Severely disturbed people who exhibit dangerous tendencies. Read the story about Mayhem (specifically Dead and Euronymous) and you'll get a clear understanding.
True, but in a good way. It's a pretty harrowing experience for the innocent victim but at least it was just a prank. A more nefarious criminal could use the same exploit to send a SWAT team to the other end of their jurisdiction while they carried out a robbery. This way the security flaw can be found and fixed with relatively little harm done. While yes, some good can come from this the means to which it was accomplished is ghastly. The household could have had a gun and fired back at what they thought were intruders - a mistake could happen which cost innocent lives while shedding undeserved bad light on the SWAT team. And just as bad, now the SWAT teams may not trust the information anymore. This would make deployment times slower, or they might think the details are bogus and assume the worst and go in shooting, or there could be another added layer of beauracry to make sure it's never a bogus prank - costing more money and time.
The kid could've alerted the person responsible for administrating the 911 system and told them of the problem, and the possible consequences. And then, at the worst, to demonstrate the problem to an unwilling ear they could've sent the SWAT team back to their own location.
George Orwell is one of the greatest British heroes to ever live, and now his ideas are spreading around the world. This must surely be England's finest hour. England Prevails!

You'd be the new light saber kid!
How is this is an advertisement? How much advanced-technology military hardware do you own that you feel commercially engaged by the article?

But with three words car analogies become difficult. It'd be like trying to 15 gallons of fuel into a 10 gallon tank.
If I had karma then I'd modd your post funny. But only because there's no scary mod, and that's what I find the twelve steps to be. Scary.
I feel your pain, brother! I've spent my entire career not wanting to write code. Thankfully, I took a dev position at SCO.
Bollocks! You just shouldn't announce your intentions to do so.
Too bad their beer sucks. Pizza is good, though.
Wait, Bell's has crappy food but good beer. I smell a Homer'esque scheme cooking, twer I to still live in the zoo.
