Really - maybe 'el presidente' is a dolt, msybe their IT guys are dolts, and maybe, just maybe, they didn't even really think about it.

I suspect they chose trivial passwords when the default auto-expired on first login...

Is this really 'hacking' when you guess the password?

Reminds me of the script-kiddie who 'hacked' into Sarah Palin's email account once he successfully guessed her password was 'popcorn'...

Wonder how he's doing in prison?

Apparently not, in the eyes of "First time accepted submitter CIStud."

They have punch cards they legally must retain, and no way to read them. Data without the code/hardware to read it is useless, but we have to keep it all.

IRS maintains a collection of tape drives so it can read old computer tapes, I suspect someone, somewhere could figure out some way to read a punch card...

Maybe they could get some card readers from West Palm Beach County?

The librarian said she would not infringe on the patron's constitutional right to access pirn in the library - does she also get to decide which constitutional rights are allowed?

There are many states that allow people to openly carry firearms, would this librarian, we're her library in one of those states object to this constitutional right?

I learned a long time ago, watching 'Full Metal Jacket' the difference between a gun and a penis (one is for fighting one is for fun)...

The write-up I commented on said 'ask' so that's what I said, and what I meant.

I never said force, and neither did the write-up.

Not the looters and vandals? Riiiight...
