According to the summary, Eli Lilly was rated "the most notorious Big Brother boss", after "...its invasive background checks of workers after Sept. 11, 2001, some of which led to dismissals."
Umm... doesn't it matter what those background checks uncovered (say, personally donating money to Hamas vs. simply having smoked a joint once in college)?
Yeah, it was a bad idea to begin with, but let's give Boston and Tampa (Bay?) some credit.
The government saw once of its "law enforcement" / "war on terrorism" programs was ineffective and (gasp!) dropped it.
Isn't this exactly what we're *not* supposed to see from this bloated, non-responsive, heavy-handed bureaucracy/police-state that the libertarians/progressives bash all the time?
They had a trial run of a new, controversial idea and it didn't work. Isn't that exactly the sort of innovation and creativity people claim "big government" sorely lacks?
Now that you're fired, they might mistakenly consider the case closed. If the "real hacker" (e.g. a coworker) got wind of this, and stops doing so, they will likely assume they got the right guy when they accused you.
Second of all, why would you assume it stops here? They may have contacted law enforcement authorities, and you might need to do some preparation to get your stuff together. Even if you're charged with something you didn't do, you'll need to mount a defense.

This time it was a Jew, baby.
finally!
other reasons not mentioned by H0ek:
* it's more of a challenge (ergo more prestige)
* most web servers run Apache
* they want to be different for its own sake
In other words, innocent until proven guilty.
You mean it's "guilty until proven innocent" at UF.
Just wait until a politician gets his identity stolen.
Then we'll have the opposite problem -- post a comment anywhere under someone else's nickname and go to jail!
Excellent. That's what I'm talking about.
It's anecdotal, but it's unambiguous.
Thanks.

Umm
And what the hell does "invasive" entail?
Specifics, please!

If movies, TV et al. can influence dress, why not video games, another form of entertainment?
This is just arrogant "OMG! Geeks can set trends!" stupidity.
I care.
Clearly you're jealous.
Otherwise, you could just ignore it.
Like you ignored the fact I accidentally "signed" my name twice.
How many in Israel vs. more culturally- and trade-restricted Arab nations. Mabye Israel is counted in Europe in their stats?
Also, I wonder (like Satellite dishes) how many pirated consoles there are.

You've probably caused a lot of people to Google, download and then use it.
Heisenberg would be proud.
No, I'd rather he hunt down the Amazon referrer code for a worthy nonprofit and then post that link. What are you, Michael Moore or something?
And you're so excited about the Amazon Associates commission that you put five exclamation marks in your subject and post!!!!!

I must be mistaken, but don't executives and substantial shareholders need to file before they can sell company stock?
so close.
yet.
so far.
FP bitchez!
Why do you think people, who are otherwise gaming fans, disrepect GT like that? Because of its genre?
Ethically: Of course not, that's asinine.
Legally: We'll find out soon enough. The RIAA has gotten a lot farther than I thought they would.
(e) Because a consumer should have the right to do whatever they want with their property, including sharing it with others.
Except if your friend is a minor. Then your arse is most certainly on the line.

Would you rather he just struted around the stage saying "developers developers developers"?
Or "Give it up for me! Woooooooo!", a la Steve Ballmer.
