    I call bullshit. That, or your boss is a fucking idiot for allowing you to run anything because your sysadmin skills are obviously shit. I suggest you go back and read your original post, dipshit. You posts support unprofessional, incompetent, possibly unethical and possibly criminal behavior, yet you completely ignore that. Seeing as you seem to think such behavior is acceptable, I have little doubt you defend Terry Childs.

    I don't owe the submitter or you anything. I pointed out a very reasonable inference. Then, with no evidence or knowledge of me, said I was projecting my own action on the submitter. When I showed the flaws in your logic, you tried to change the argument and included things not in the post.

    So, you can shut your hole and go back to your mother's basement.

    It is a shame you can't keep a coherent argument. First you say we are slaughtering innocent civilians. Then, when I call you out on it, you talk about soldiers committing suicide. You ignore the fact that war is traumatic. Oh, and have you ever actually served in the military? Have you met what used to pass for a service member? A bunch of soft whiners who joined thinking they would get a free education and never have to actually fight.

    Comparing the carriers to what this guy did is comparing apples to fudge and you are an idiot for trying it.

    And, the NYT was wrong. Mostly because Keshav didn't figure in the cost of 99.999% uptime, servers, licenses, sysadmins, ops and prod support, DR, data center costs, SLA payouts, the cost of tower and equipment upgrades, spectrum, etc. Do you work in telecom? Do you even work in the IT industry? Do you even work?

    Want things put in perspective? You are so brainwashed, you failed to read the NYT article where they just guess at the costs.

    Seriously, you shouldn't talk about things with which you have no experience or even knowledge.

    You are right, I don't know what your job is. I just assumed that because you decided to comment on proper system administration of production servers, you actually had a job doing that.

  19. What an arrest actually is on Photographing Police: Deletion Is Not Forever · · Score: 3, Informative

    tl;dr "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

    A seizure or forcible restraint; an exercise of the power to deprive a person of his or her liberty; the taking or keeping of a person in custody by legal authority, especially, in response to a criminal charge.

    The purpose of an arrest is to bring the arrestee before a court or otherwise secure the administration of the law. An arrest serves the function of notifying the community that an individual has been accused of a crime and also may admonish and deter the arrested individual from committing other crimes. Arrests can be made on both criminal charges and civil charges, although civil arrest is a drastic measure that is not looked upon with favor by the courts. The federal Constitution imposes limits on both civil and criminal arrests.

    An arrest may occur (1) by the touching or putting hands on the arrestee; (2) by any act that indicates an intention to take the arrestee into custody and that subjects the arrestee to the actual control and will of the person making the arrest; or (3) by the consent of the person to be arrested. There is no arrest where there is no restraint, and the restraint must be under real or pretended legal authority. However, the detention of a person need not be accompanied by formal words of arrest or a station house booking to constitute an arrest.

    The test used to determine whether an arrest took place in a particular case is objective, and it turns on whether a reasonable person under these circumstances would believe he or she was restrained or free to go. A reasonable person is one who is not guilty of criminal conduct, overly apprehensive, or insensitive to the seriousness of the circumstances. Reasonableness is not determined in light of a defendant's subjective knowledge or fears. The subjective intent of the police is also normally irrelevant to a court's determination whether an arrest occurred, unless the officer makes that intent known. Thus, a defendant's presence at a police station by consent does not become an arrest solely by virtue of an officer's subjective view that the defendant is not free to leave, absent an act indicating an intention to take the defendant into custody.

    I have highlighted the important points. One can be arrested on the scene of a possible crime and let go with no charges. One can be arrested by the officer(s) telling one not to leave because he wants to question one. Then, by attempting to leave, one can be arrested for resisting arrest, but this time taken into custody, transported to jail, booked, etc. It wasn't that long ago that one might be arrested for being drunk, dropped in the drunk tank, then let go without charges when one sobered up.

    This is yet another problem with the ambiguity of the English language especially in the case of legal or professional jargon as opposed to general usage.

    A seizure or forcible restraint; an exercise of the power to deprive a person of his or her liberty; the taking or keeping of a person in custody by legal authority, especially, in response to a criminal charge.

    One can be arrested by being taken into custody. One does not have to be taken to jail or even charged with a crime. Simply saying "You. Stay where you are. I want to talk to you about what has happened" is enough to be considered arrest because the liberty of the person address has been removed. By attempting to leave, one is resisting arrest.

    Please explain in detail why one would want to stop and/or remove "notification scripts of disk usage etc and a spaghetti of "backup" scripts to ensure that important data is on a couple of different physical servers at once so that minor problems don't require loading from a real backup".

    By stopping and/or removing the scripts you list, the organization would then be exposed to possible outages and/or data loss. If the submitter was doing his job properly, he would have been maintaining those scripts and they would have been "replaced by a few less simple scripts to make it simpler" for himself or someone else.

    The only example in your post was the desktop background script which should be on a workstation or desktop which would go with him to his next assignment. You are a sysadmin and you have a script on a server that downloads a photo and sets it as your desktop on said server? Why are you using a production server as workstation?

    That leads me to believe you have been abusing your access.

The only two explanations are either you are trying to hamstring him or you are doing something unethical, probably immoral, possibly illegal, and would definitely get you in trouble with your boss.
