If you are running MySQL, typically you don’t want to allow direct connection from outside. In most cases, you might have web server running on the same server where the MySQL database runs so just set the proper IPTABLES rules and you then mitigate a huge potential breach. Then, if the mole is inside you can dig-dug them out and publicly flog them later. Right?
Which is why, no matter where I go, I use my smartphone and PDAnet. Much more reliable and in some cases faster. Now I don't do anything of a secure nature over that, but it suits me just fine for fartin' around on the Interwebs.
And, as I said in my original article, that most people seem to have "skimmed" instead of "read". I would be more than happy with a few extra days of PTO. I'm not necessarily looking for money, so all you "it's a horrible economy, be thankful you're working" broken records need to STFU. It's a clean-cut case of "this for that"; of for all you Latin and Hannibal Lecter buffs, "quid pro quo".
Finally, a response that isn't full of cynicism but instead provides a practical approach with a good, legal suggestion. I think you for being a serious./ contributor that doesn't troll or flame on a question just to vent their anger about the world.
There is no no-compete or non-disclosure in my file. There is no "domain rule" blanketing what I do outside of my job scope. The skills were not attained at this current employer but instead were amassed on my own time out of sheer hobby. The fact they were not divulged at the time of interview and hire are irrelevant.
Entitlement or exploitation? It's a fine line. Would you say the same thing if the terms were not monetary but instead based on the barter system and other goods were exchanged?
I already have a military family background. I'm being practical. Why should one benefit at the other's expense without exchanging the means for the knowledge and expertise? They hired me and outlined my job description to the T. I abide by it. The fact that I have the ability to go beyond my job scope should be the merits used for salary negotiations. But as raises have been completely shut down for all non C-level people, what's the point of going beyond the scope? And don't feed me any of this greater good or terrible economy crap. The only way to get through a terrible economy in through self preservation and accumulating the necessities to weather the storm.
You obviously didn't take away from the article the whole meaning and instead jumped on the whole "bad economy, how dare he want more, what a selfish prick" bandwagon.
You are correct in both aspects. The treatment is poor, the morale company wide is low since the new management team was put in place and I am well under market value for my experience and skills.
@Aighearach - A sysadmin is not a programmer. The skill sets are different but are lumped under the general IT fog. I hardly consider writing a script that cleans up log files on my Windows and Linux boxes to be in the same realm as writing an application that handles the hiring process and workflow for HR.

Noah Wyle already nailed it in "Pirates of Silicon Valley". No-talent BURN!
A link to the actual code snippet would've been nice; I'd love to see the structure and logic behind it.

The messages. Inspector Gadget style.
Back to the days of having rats physically deliver hand written sentiments that are then eaten or burned.
