Hate to side with the oil tycoons of this century but I'm glad they fired this guy.
He obviously thought enough of Microsoft and it's Microsoft monopoly money to work for them. With work comes responsibility and loyalty. He snapped pics, which I'm sure Microsoft security just loved, and posted them. What if this was a snap of the new Microsoft XP 2010 in action with details of the server the code was located on? Surely trade secrets would be at risk.
This guy got what he deserves. As a future employer I would be wary of him and his loyalty to my company.
...is they ALL look like default crap! Man this one looks like it was taken from a 1999 default installation of Storm Linux!
Pretty it up, make it look nice, put some makeup on it, THEN and ONLY then send it off on it's first official date to properly get banged in the back seat of a make believe car by a FreeBSD geek.
I ran to the IT department asking for an explanation for what they did, to which they replied, "Nothing."
Oh they knew what was going on.They just didn't want to waste an hour explaing to some dumb ass in marketing what DHCP/MAC control is!
They had much bigger fish to fry, such as downloading new drivers for that 256M 600MHZ vid card they were putting in that new E-Commerce dual 2.8 Xeon server with 4 Gigs of memory to play Counterstrike on the 61" plasma in the conference room when everyone else was home playing with their "fruity" Macs!
We all know what is going to happen when SCO shows up in a city near you! Let's compare other events in history that would be comparable:
Ron Jeremy being a guest speaker at a pro-life rally.
A Hitler appearance at a local synagogue.
The Titanic's Captain holding a "Safe Sailing" seminar.
General US Grant showing up for the annual Southerners Cotton Picking Picnic.
I just read a recent article online, not sure where I saw it, that there is a dramatic increase in the number of female gamers between the ages of 18 and 30 somthing. This wasn't a small number either but one that could drastically change the way games and systems are made and marketed.
I would have never believed it unless it was for my current girlfriend* who loves Halo and the Xbox.But then again she does insist on using the vibrating control pad!
*girlfriend-opposite sex of the male slashdot reader who actually likes the male Slashdot reader. Rare. See also Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster, Yeti.
I can totally see this being integrated in massive MISSPs where monitoring large volumes of incoming intrusion alerts and data on enterprise size SIMS (security information and management systems requires plenty of shuffling on a large visible desktop.
I write this letter to you balloon pilots in hopes that when you are up there you will do me a favor.
About a week ago I tied lil Sparky, our family Chiwwawwawa, to about ten helium balloons to see if they could lift him off the ground. Needless to say, it did. After ten minutes of riding my Green Machine through town following poor old Sparks I lost sight of him some where near the Rockies.
So, if you happen to see Sparky some where up there in the great wild blue yonder during your travels will you fetch him for me? Don't know if this is possible cause the kid next door who is into h4ck1ng and Slashdot and all that other stuff keeps saying something about the decrease in atmospheric pressure at those heights and that either the balloons will pop or Sparky's large intenstines will explode. Either way bad news for Sparks. So PUH-LEASE keep on the lookout for a dog with ten balloons tied to his collar.

PS. He will be the dog with the Red Power Rangers collar in case you see more dogs tied to balloons up there.

That totally boggles the mind that companies/individuals still think that they can play the "electronic ignorance" game with the court and legal computer experts. It seems as if the time of being able to pull the wool over the courts eyes due to the lack of knowledge of technology is slowing coming to an end.
What's even more amazing, in this case, is that it is Microsoft playing "oops, backups? whats that?"
