It's no different than physically walking out with the hardware.
Bullshit.
The hardware sat in the racks the entire time. Any tech could walk up and reset the passwords. The manager should have sent out his techs to reset passwords and then put a password policy in place.
Bad management, but the employee didn't STEAL anything.
it basically shut down the city of san francisco for at least two weeks. they held the guy in jail, but he refused to divulge. the mayor even went to the jail to ask him personally. he deserves prison.
No he didnt. The city could have sent smart hand techs the same day to reset passwords.
He didn't shut down anything, he was fired and walked off the job. The manager should have just did a password reset on the hardware.
It's kind of like working for a trucking company and taking the truck keys with you when you quit, except that it sounds like this was a pretty big ass truck (thinking in $$).
No its not.
Its not like keys to a truck, its like leaving keys in the ignition, the manager has to walk to the truck to get them.
Aka, he sends junior techs out to reset the passwords...
The employer never lost access, just easy access, but he never was denied access.
You make a good point. When you leave and hand over your laptop and office keys, that's it, you don't give them a password to the laptop, that's it, over, done.
And no, Its not like keys to a truck, its like leaving keys in the ignition, but the manager has to walk up to the truck to get them, not convenient, but you did not deny access. Physical access is still access. Having the password is nice, but doesn't deny access.
And physical access even with a pad lock, you don't have to give them the combination because the lock can be cut. Its standard operating procedure.
BUT, If the password was to an encrypted file with all the financial records, and not even physical access couldn't give access to the owner, then I'd say that was extortion or theft depending on the outcome since you cant get physical access.
Bad policy is INDEED the employers problem, very good point indeed, access was never denied, just easy access.
Amusing how because its "digital" its somehow different, its not.
I saw that article awhile ago with the 1440P monitors for 350 bux coming out of korea, picked on up and its amazing. 27 inch 2560x1440. I didnt have any 1440P content, but I could watch 4K content via youtube, which downscaled very nicely and looked really detailed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMUxpTb_wWc
Could I tell the difference, Yes, easily. Its like night and day over a 1080P on a blue ray. 4K over 1080P is a BIG step in detail with that high resolution, so no idea what they keep saying "too soon".
Also, this whole True 4K vs 4K HD is annoying, 4096×2160 vs 3840×2160 means conversation, unless 4K HD is selected, then there will be upscaling. And 4K isnt even the end, they have 6K 6,144 × 3,160 next step.
So baby steps, lets get 4K going for now, get better monitors and tvs going, broadcast and video services delivering content, and anyone who says "too soon" can die off like the dinosaur they are. The 4K monitors are here, the 4K Ultra HD tvs are here, some 4K blue rays are here, Youtube 4K streaming is here.
Like pubic hair? Yea, I'm pretty sick of all this "look like a little girl when I'm really 30" crap, too.
Ugh...no!!!
Look at some good old, 70's pr0n....Debbie Does Dallas or the like, man...if you wanted to go down on one of those ladies, you'd better take a machete and a sherpa with you if you wanted any hope of ever returning alive!!
Seriously, I don't like mandatory flossing after eating....
Whoa whoa, 70's porn actually had good stories, today its all about 2 minute video clips on your phone.
This younger generation will never know about classics like Deep Throat. A woman who could not orgasm until a Doctor told her, that her clitiorous was in her throat.
Everytime I see the regressive aspect as a counterpoint to sales tax it normally follows with discussion of an increase in taxes by the way of the income tax.
Its a big difference when a working person gets taxed a couple thousand more a year, and a fortune 500 company gets a billion dollar refund.
Lets stop stepping on the little guy to close state taxes, when corps are using federal tax rule loopholes to avoid taxes.
We have cliques of wiki editors who have agendas, we have non corporate organizations with agendas, we have internet groups of like minded people who make sure their viewpoints are the only accepted truth, etc. Wikipedia is slanted with the common viewpoints, not the historically or factually correct in many articles. The wikipedia rules are ignored when the editors disagree and enforced when a counterpoint they want to limit, its the standard attack method.
My favorite was the common belief that in the Vietnam war there was no Canadian military. It was contested with a Canadian Military government webpage that listed medals earned in Vietnam during the war. It was still removed and banned. The historian had so many of his viewpoints over turned, he ended up only writing articles in his personal page.
The "group think" is so strongly promoted on wikipedia, that its basically re-writing our history so the popularly viewpoints are the accepted viewpoints.
Credibility has always been an issue with rampant viewpoint moderation.
Pandora doesn't have the selection I want, and I'm not an apple user so I wont use iTunes. I have other places to buy mp3 cds and my music discovery of choice is Spotify.
Amusing my car has a pandora app, but I use bluetooth to stream spotify music and metadata.
Seattle's connectivity is pretty abysmal, unless you live in the tiny areas of downtown Seattle serviced by CondoInternet.net. Other than that, you're lucky if you can get Comcast (trust me, there are FAR worse ISPs than Comcast).
Agreed, lived here for almost 20 years, and I've had ISDN/IDSL and DSL on Qwest or Frontier (sucks) living in major suburbs of Seattle. I'm on comcast now and I dont want to ever go back. Plus the digital cable is better than Frontier anyday.
Always wanted to make an application called cloud burst, that lets you move all cloud providers, move your resources with a touch of a button.
Amazon throws tons of money in the shorter term to own cloud computing in the long term. Openstack is still green and needs support. If they embraced AWS/Rackspace they might get more support and become a perfect fit those times when AWS isn't the best option. Want to run a lab? A 1500 dollar blade is works just fine. Want to run a few heavy duty load balancers, hit the cloud provider. Want 1 app to manage it? AWS has a bunch of 3rd party desktop managers for billing, reporting and maintenance. Openstack could come in and clean up.
Problem I've always had with openstack was its complex design, extra network and view of hardware resources is just fugly. I used puppet/kvm with a few scripts and it was much easier for me to maintain. I deployed almost a thousand VM's from a puppetserver with cobbler on multiple location with hundreds of blades. I spent most the time in Excel working with devs on hardware requires on cpu/memory/disk usage and node count and network design. This is what I need automated.
I was looking at Openstack to replace the excel spreadsheet that keeps all my configurations. Make it simple. I wanted a vmware like interface on top of well known linux technologies with an configuration import button. But that never happened. No way am I manually typing in configurations, and I dont want another network for openstack management.
So now, I'm using AWS. Still using puppet, but ec2tools work mostly for me. Still dont have a good configuration management tool, EC2 desktop is lacking basics. Could Openstack fill the need? Maybe, but it needs to think of its users needs not its devs fun programing projects.
This is absolutely not true. The vast majority of industry trade shows look quite professional. A small minority of industries that attract people with developmental problems (automobiles, guns, and games) don't.
Actually, those women who sell pharmaceuticals to doctors or telecom services to engineers kinda disprove your theory that its not an industry wide issue. Public relation groups and special interest groups are full of ex-cheerleaders and attractive men and women.
Not saying its right, just saying its not just E3 and Boat/Car shows.
Reminds me of all the self righteous blog posts by industry insiders about how average person just don't understand the elegance, and the future direction of the GUI.
The said the vocal outspoken are just loud cry babies that don't know anything, don't contribute, and just waste everyone's times.
As if removing the start button and window themes and ridding the world of "archaic" features like a program list and mouse will enlighten the common man to GUI nirvana.
I always push for the ISO 8601 time formats. I like seeing YYYY-MM-DD on my time stamps. Wish this was the industry standard for logging, file systems, etc.
What I hate how the US has Saturday/Sunday split on the weekend. Who really thinks, Oh its Sunday start of the week! Monday is really the start of the week, right after the WEEK END, and that's how I like my calendars displayed. Monday thru Sunday.
Plea bargains make people plead guilty all the time. I remember when Wennatchee sex ring scandal happened. The whole population wanted justice, hang the child rapists! The state went for life sentences for all 40+ people accused. Many of the people pleaded guilty when they faced life in prison. Only after years of litigation did it come out the entire thing was a hoax. No child was raped.
The stresses this young man faced shouldn't be the norm. Obama was suppose to be the voice the people, the people who work in his administration should echo his values.
I can only hope that a 3rd party takes off someday, we really need to vote the bastards out, not vote pretend in a 2 party system.
I wonder, is the vine format smaller than gif? Lots of small gifs all around, so no reason they couldnt be placed if devices can view them. Only problem I can think of, I want to be able to see them on my android phone and laptop and no viewer yet?
Not sure what all the hate is, its like people dont like new tech around here.

First thing you do is change the passwords when someone is fired. They just had to drive to the datacenter to do it. They never were denied access.
It's no different than physically walking out with the hardware.
Bullshit.

Yup, 2560x1440 for 350-450 on ebay, brand new, drop shipped from Korea, Got mine in 27 hours by fedex for 70 bux.
No dead pixel options also.
Cant wait for 4K.

Exactly, thus limitations and restrictions on things that a group of people don't want. Make it artificially hard to obtain.
Same goes with the left side on gun control, the right side with abortion, both sides on medical marijuana.
I'm sure 100 years from now, free speech will be allowed as long as your in a room by yourself. Restrictions and all.
