if zango is going to complain about a silent removal from its symbiote, perhaps in fairness a statement like the following:
"Hi, i'm zango, i'm a piece of spyware and i'm just going to go ahead and load myself on your PC and i really don't give a dingo's kidney what you might happen to think about that. also, please ignore the impending additional charges to your credit card, viewable on next month's statement"
should be shown when zango attacks in the first place...
sysadmins/techs at my educational institution generally get Bent Over F-ing Handrail by people who, as the original post states, callously, or perhaps more accurately and literally, carelessly break the hardware and software that they're using. moreover, it seems that a LOT of these people do not have a good general understanding of what they're doing and what sort of laws apply to them and to what tasks they are allowed to perform on their workplace-provided computing equipment, regardless of the amount of or level of training offered to them months in advance of any change. we even provide a state of the art instructional tech lab for them to use, though few do.
i think that if any sysadmins are truly bofh's reminiscent of simon travaglia's character, they've likely been driven to it by idiots. in fact, i know one sysadmin who, in the early days of networking (token ring) used a coaxial hypotentiometer to fry a glory stealing troll's ring network because the fellow had actually taken the FQDN that was registered to the business and redirected it to his own cluster of machines....doesn't it almost seem that BOFHness is a direct result of being bofh'ed?
