What he did was wrong. Totally wrong. Who uses their own login to run tests against? Didn't he read BOFH? The BOFH would have a dummy local account on some critical server that auto-disables every 6 months. If the innocuous automated script running from some antique piece of hardware finds that this account has been disabled for more than 30 days, then it triggers a system event that another chron job on a different server is checking every other weekend which fires off a file-based task that runs a script in a different scripting language which writes to another event log that triggers a compiled agent running on the backup server, and then ...

I was at a (not huge corp) company where these two points happened. Our company went through the process, and hired the Indian H1B holder and he got his green card.

...Staring Ryan Reynolds and The Rock.

Watch Foundation (TV) as an original story based on the concepts expressed in the original story.

Just like with some of the iRobot movie.

Why is the name McCarthy always associated with governmental witch hunts?

Back in olden-times when I was student at least a semester of "Typing Class" was required if you wanted to take a programming related class. Students who just wanted to learn about computers did the minimum, and anyone who wanted to take programming classes (BASIC & PASCAL) all did at least a full year. ~rbs
