/"Jailed IT admin Terry Childs relinquished his hold over San Francisco's multimillion-dollar FiberWAN, handing his administrative passwords over to San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom http://www.infoworld.com/article/08/07/23/San_Franciscos_mayor_gets_back_keys_to_the_network_1.html, who was 'the only person he felt he could trust.' Childs is still being held on $5 million bail for his lockout of the city's FiberWAN <snip> ----------------------------------------------
Very interesting. I also read "http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&..." and can understand this part... ;-) "Terry felt that his direct superior was intrusive, incompetent and obstructive and that the managers above him had no real idea of what was going on and were more interested in office politics than in getting anything done."
This seems way, way too harsh: "He was jailed on $5 million bond"..."a San Francisco Superior Court Judge refused to lower the bail, even though Childs in a dramatic move earlier this week disclosed the passwords to Mayor Gavin Newsom in a jailhouse meeting." It seems they're making an example of him, rather than just punishing him for his actions.
