Black collar criminals are every bit as bad as white collar ones and street thugs. Society can quickly fall apart when a minority attempt to take laws and justice into their own hands.
Except for all the times that it didn't, of course.
We'd all be better off today with less police and more tar and feathers. Except for those getting tarred and feathered. Maybe. They still might be better off than being thrown into the rape cafe.
In that case, I admit my error and I apologize. It sounds like you do have a good reason for wanting to do what you are doing. Be careful though. Stuff like what you wrote above could really bite you in the ass.
You installed a bunch of open source software all over the place, removing Windows, Unix, and or Novell. (Probably Windows.) Your documentation is, admittedly, less than complete. You, admittedly, have scripts running here and there, which are also likely less than documented. You also are doing a job that should take a month, bringing a new admin up to speed on your (literally) custom built network, in a day.
And your primary concern is (and I quote):
I'm trying to cover all my bases so any excuse my replacement has to call me is seen as nothing but laziness or incompetence.
If I was your boss, I'd fire you and might consider bringing you up on charges of interfering with government property. What, is your name Terry Childers? Probably not. He at least was trying to do a good job. You're just the sort of tool that gives Linux users and computer guys in general a bad name.
The best practice for leaving an IT position? You should start by improving your attitude.
Good Lord, now that China has developed 3rd generational warfare capabilities, we might need to redevelop some of the tools we used to defeat the Soviet Union, which was also using 3rd generational warfare capabilities. Oh wait......
Not pennies. Silver. Silver was removed from the currency in 1965. Before that, your quarters and dimes were silver pieces, 90%. Now, all they are is base metal.
Well, it could be worse. Look at what England just did to poor Suarez. So much for a multicultural cosmopolitan EPL. Use a word in Spanish that sounds like a different word in English and get banned for 8 games.
I had a very good friend who was on the steps of the capitol at the fall of MiloÅeviÄ. She told the story of the police arriving. She said, "The boys were in front and ready to fight, and we girls in back were ready to die and bandage them up. But then, the police put their guns down and joined us. That's when we knew we won."
So yeah, it sometimes happens and there's a happy ending.
I expect that the very best education comes from nuns. I found that Catholic school prepared me for the real world far better than my public school counterparts. Catholic school students learned more and were better at applying their learning to real world situations.
If it weren't for the anti-Catholic bias in America society (a bias that rivals that of African Americans: and I can easy prove it. 40% of American is Catholic, but we've had only 1 Catholic President, whereas 13% of America is African American, and we've had only 1 African American President), Catholic students would be ruling the country.
There exists a myth in Indian history that they went to war against Pakistan in 1965 with inferior non-American air fighters. India rather thoroughly beat Pakistan. It would make very good sense today that India feels it doesn't needs a cutting edge air force.
Very much so, absolutely. In this case, I think it was fairly nefarious. A mortgage backed derivative (a financial product that requires calculus to create? WTF?) is very different than shorting 200000 bushels of January Hard Red.
And as I posted previously, I still want to know why this is different from Steam Boat Willy. Cultures need to be able to decide for themselves what is significant. In order to do that, copyright needs to have a limit. I would suggest no more than 2 generations, or 38 years. Disney and other companies have destroyed what should be a person's innate right to culture. Almost all of us alive today were raised with Mickey Mouse. Mickey Mouse should belong to us all. And so should MLK's Dream.
This happened to me once. I crossed the International Date line on December 24. It was December 26 on the other side. It was the year without a Christmas.

MOD PARENT UP. Please.

Thanks Sting. Although, there's no reason to post anonymously. We all know you're a member in good standing of /..

OK. Lemme try on:

I don't recall for sure (and I'm too lazy to look) but I think I might have wrote it......

Dumb.

In the United States, we call our logical fallacies Texans. What do you call them in Canada?

STEER clear of sheep!?!? Wocka wocka wocka!
I'm offended that you're offended at my offense.
Or possibly someone doesn't know their history.

Or we could get rid of the TSA, and go back to liberty with a very slightly higher amount of insecurity.

Making money on losing a shedload of money is called selling short. And it is precisely what a number of Wall Street banks did.
Hmmm. Meant to publish that anonymously. Whoopsie. Hope I never run for office.
Really? 'Cause on that anime I saw last night, ray would definitely be appropriate.
Oh. Thanks. I was going to watch Star Wars again tonight. But now, thanks to the anon....
You know. Nevermind. I'm too bored to actually finish this post.
This story is a duplicate, but still valuable.

This is the solution you're looking for. It's simple and more or less fool-proof.

fu-uck.
