FHK SitRep 12.19.07: Power Corrupts… (a.k.a., How NOT to Quit your Tech Job!)

Information Week is reporting, “Lonnie Charles Denison had been in a dispute with his employer when he took the action against the data center’s power supply.”

A contract Unix system administrator pleaded guilty to trying to disrupt a data center where he was employed in Folsom, Calif., by hammering the safety glass of an emergency power shut-off, then pushing the shut-down button.

The case drew the attention of the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force in Sacramento, Calif., because it involved an attempt to shut down a data center of the California Independent System Operator Corp., an electrical power consortium chartered by the state to manage the statewide energy grid.

[...]

Denison faces a fine of up to $250,000 and up to five years in jail. (read the rest, here)

I wonder how he will explain THAT the next time he goes to apply for a job?

Speak Your Mind


This comment section is for the readers of Ft. Hard Knox, a place for political conservatives to share information about online activism. We are not "fair and balanced," and we aren't refereeing a "free speech zone." Intelligent, funny, and on-topic comments are welcome. Trolls, spam, and liberal propaganda are not. We may occassionally approve a comment with an obvious lefty-slant so that we can amuse ourselves by making fun of it, but most will be deleted. (Why? Because we're busy, we have lives, and when we want to talk to you we'll go visit you on Digg or the Daily KOS.)

This is a private blog, and we reserve the right to make up our own rules as we go along. The few comments which manage to squeak by our censors reflect the opinion of the commentator, and not necessarily the staff of Ft. Hard Knox.

Hint: One sure-fire way to get your comment sent directly to the "spam" folder is to call us "racists" for disagreeing with a policy of the current POTUS or speaking out against terrorism.
