Ah, the stuff that dreams are made of....geek dreams, but dreams nonetheless.

Techie version of going postal?

This is a fine opportunity to see if waterboarding really works.

Take that, internets!

I invented it!

I can remember urban legends about programmers whoset up payroll systems that waould erase themselves if their SS number was ever removed.

Sounds like this guy is living the dream.

Terry Childs is a True,American Hero!!!

Geez I wish there were a lot more real patriots and heroes like Terry Childs,especially in Washington DC and the Pentagon! People like Mr.Childs are the ones who can really bring the crooks in government to their knees and make them pay for all their corruption,treason and crimes against humanity! Go get em Terry and make them admit their crimes before you give them any important information!!!

Bullshit. Speaking as an IT professional who just happens to also work for a city government, I can tell you this guy is an asshole. Watch how long it takes them to crack his password, fire him and prosecute. The first thing you should have learned in programming school is that there is always someone smarter than you.

I waste a hell of a lot of my time, not to mention breath, explaining to clients exactly how to supplant policies to prevent just this sort of thing. As long as there are a lot of really stupid people owning these systems my job is pretty safe.

AntiCadillac;

You would not think him such a hero if the system he locked up was responsible for your welfare payments each month.

Letus not forget, today is the 39th annivesary of Mary Jo Koppechne's murder.

Which is it, 08?

38 or 39?

Is that the best you can do?? Glad to see the math nazis are out this morning. This must be the high point of your pathetic day. I would bet that you are down in your parents basement jumping for joy.

I can just picture ted now, bouncing up and down in his chair, clapping his hands while wearing that special helmet his mommy makes him wear.
