  2. Analogy Sucks... on Austrian Tor Exit Node Operator Found Guilty As an Accomplice · · Score: 1

    "Under this sort of thinking, Volkswagen would be liable if someone drove a VW as the getaway car in a bank robbery"

    That may be the case, but probably only if VW knowingly pursued bank robbers as customers (e.g.; in their ads they said something to the effect of "Perfect as a get-away vehicle!")

    I'd bet the courts/prosecutor said something to the effect "As the 'administrator' of a TOR exit node, It's not unreasonable for the operator to expect illicit or illegal activity to take place, as the intent of TOR is anonymity", or something along those lines...

  15. Re:Don't mix the vendor networking gear? on Book Review: Scalability Rules · · Score: 1

    notwithstanding vendor incompatiblities, the "one throat to chock" position is often held by organizations that lack technical competency, at least in a lot of my experience.

  16. Re:jobs on Age Bias In IT: the Reality Behind the Rumors · · Score: 1

    "However, any time the screening process is handled by H/R or non-technical management people, I rarely even get my foot in the door"

    This suggests you need better inter-personal skills. Try joining a speaking group like toastmasters, or find local social groups in your area. Not only is it good networking, but you may pickup how non-technical people perceive you.
