When will people find out ? You do n’t mess with Unix admins ! Not because they exert a lot of power or anything , but because they ’re generally the type of socially maladjusted people who are liable to riffle out and do something reckless when raise . You do n’t pass that much time in a waiter way and come out OK . Just wait at the example of Lonnie Charles Denison , a former Unix sysadmin who tried to sabotage the California power grid for get back at his employer .
Ol’ Lonnie hammered the glass and hit the emergency close - down button at a data center field in Folsom , CA , that manages the state ’s power grid . He was wear out by security camera footage and by a note that looks like a bomb terror but seems much , much more gimpy when you know what he was insinuating .
Hey , at one point I respected you … you have a new kid . So this is only because of him . Get out before the timekeeper expires . Not long now . Take precaution .
He also evidence a friend that he had “ done something bad , ” presumably via voicechat in World of Warcraft . The criminal brain is now face up up to 5 years of hard time and $ 250,000 in fines . Was it worth it , nerdlinger ? [ EE Times ]
