Contractor admits planting logic bombs in his software to ensure he’d get new work

Remember the old de-motivational poster?

Consulting - if you can't be part of the solution, there's a lot of money to be made prolonging the problem

So much pearl clutching.

I thought this was posted after it happened?

So you still support execution for someone who stole a petty 40,000 dollars?

You're doing a great job of deflection.

I'd have to go look and see how you got here from there but no, I don't think I ever said that. All I was doing with this comment was fucking with two guys cause I'm feeling like fucking with them and maybe making some people laugh for a moment while I'm at it.


I'll try and walk this one back to where you got this idea from. And as a rule, I'm not against executions, not at all. And if it were my $40K I'd kill you for it personally. So keep this straight, I just need a moment to look back into how you are getting this from where I have been involved in the conversation, this is an older thread I don't remember all I have said and to what.

Dont worry about it. This threads all over the place. Probably wrongly quoted person.

Job security exists in every profession. Nothing new under the sun.

No, actually you are correct in that I did call your post out when you objected to another poster's implication that the man should be killed, or "cooked" as he put it. I replied that I wouldn't have a problem with it, that I would tend to be rather "draconian" about it. So you did call it right reference that remark.

And now you have me questioning the cavalier manner in which I made that remark because as I apply serious thought to it I find that I have a hard time one way or the other. It's like I want to be harsh, but when I pin myself down to it, maybe not. Then again, when I pose that question as if the man had stole $40K from me personally, I'm right back smelling the pork fry.

That's as honest as I can be.

Except that this isn't really job security.

It's an excuse for something that is inexcusable.

What's more, it's "understanding attitudes" for dishonest unethical behavior that help these people justify their actions in their own minds.

In my time in the Army, if I saw a soldier driving the wrong way in a parking lot, I would stop them, explain how they were screwing up, then make them turn around right there on the spot. You might think that this is crazy and I wouldn't ever try that on civilians in public because it is simply not the same thing. Regular civilians didn't commit their lives to something bigger like soldiers do. Soldiers must be ready to do things the right way always and shouldn't be surprised that when they do things the wrong way they get called out on it and corrected right there on the spot. You would be right to see this as an entirely different world and it is, but just like physics, the laws still apply and human nature remains the same.
