    You just explained what quantum physics is. Or translated, if you don't know something, we name it "quantum physics", and voila, Nobel prize. We don;t know why the quantum pair relation is not limited to the distance between them? Here we go another quantum law.

    I would say that you are perfectly wrong. Even if having CS does not mean that your are decent programmer, i would never put my trust in programmer, who does not have any math skills, and having CS is the prove that you have these math skills. Tell me, how could some guy who knows 10 languages (natural, not computer) could have enough time and brain to learn at least boolean algebra? Don't bother to answer me, there is simply no way. Btw, don't tell me about the exceptions, because, as you (maybe) know, the exceptions are the prove for the rule.

    Do you really think that in the following 5-10 years this virus could cause a pandemic? Because, otherwise, burning all this big amount of money in vaccine is much less productive than for example some lab research, or whatever else, don't you agree?

    Apparently busted. If you actually bother to read any decent medical journal, you will find out that there was, and will never be a 100% proven correlation between drinking coffee, and less cancer risk for example. NEVER. All that this statistic does, is just that, statistic.

    You are missing the point, next time, he, or any other sysadmin, when he faces the termination letter, he/she will follow the law to the letter. Which could mean that he could "forget" to inform you about some tricky passwords, terminals, systems, etc., and when YOUR system crashes, you could blame only YOURSELF, not the already terminated sysadmin that gave you "all the passwords", and who did not try to protect the public. You understand me? The difference between protecting yourself and the public? If not, go find this article about the hacked PSN hundreds of millions of stolen accounts.

    He is apparently a decent sysadmin, but is also apparently a geek, without the slightest idea how the politics are thinking and working. He was punished for his lack of social instincts, but hey, at the end of day, he is just a sysadmin, not senator, right?

    Yes, it is true about "no reason" termination, but it is not true if there is actually a "reason". To put it other way, if your employee did something wrong, and you have a reason, you better fire him "without reason", or will face a discrimination case otherwise.

    And what about the fact that the whole network was put at risk just because of some password???? Why i dont see heads falling down like house prices for example!!! Such a lack of policy at such a scale, it simply amazes me that no one actually bother to solve the bigger issue, and focus on such a little inconvenience of retrieving some password.
