Comment good riddance (Score 1) 217

I wasted too much of my life with this crap in school. It was VB2 in high school for the stupidest programs, then in college it was VB5 I wasted all my time and never had any use or interest in it. The same time we had to take cobol which was another big waste of time I still resent all of it. I never learned how to do anything in it, and never used it again. I never even wanted to be a programmer but that all they would ever allow you to take in school. Around that time Linux started taking off and I haven't looked back since. Its funny to see VB turning into another cobol.

because i've got good access to demand for my skills, pay several times higher, and finally got to move up in my career and actually get to do something. If you have low ambitions and abilities, and are looking for healthcare and retirement, then canada is for you. They'll give away citizenship, but they won't do a dam thing for people in their own country. Disagree? look at me.

Don't be led to believe this kind of propaganda, canada has always tried advertising itself as the best country and looking to get top rankings, that should be a big red flag right there. I left canada after years of problems dealing with cheap companies and bad management, and i'm so glad I did. Taxes are much higher, and there are far fewer good jobs, most of this growth they mention is short term beginner level jobs that aren't very well paid or last long. The difference in pay is dramatic. Just look at all the big business and money the US has, canada has nothing like this, not even 1 big player. When I read some of the positive comments in here it makes me think what the heck is wrong with you. Try going to canada and i'll be laughing at you. And if anyone doesn't like what i'm saying and doesn't want to believe me, just wonder WHY are all these people in the world looking to come to the US to work in the first place!

I dont think he is guilty of a criminal offence. Notice that the story didnt explain what usernames/passwords were given weeks before his arrest, whatever access he gave them it was obviously NOT FULL access, even if it was, the circumstances would have to be better understood why he did this. I think considering HE was solely responsible for this public network, he was the only person besides the mayor that could make that call. A breach on this scale of a network could expose private data of millions of people, he had good reason to be paranoid. It was in his professional opinion that he decided his boss was not authorized, and I dont see how that breaks the law specified. Also just imagine if he did give his boss access and there was a major breach! What would people be saying then! He could be blamed for giving up access when he knew his boss was likely to mishandle it.
