#11  I never could figure out why we had a two-holer. It's not like they any seats to leave up.

#10  JohnQC ,

Used a Two-Holer for Years...

Scorpions in the Summer and Snow in the Winter..

Yes it had a roof on it, but the hard-driving fine-snow would find a way to get in and drift up on the seat. [6' foot board with two holes in it]

/fond memories believe it or not...lol >:)....

#9  A bunch of pi$$ed off computer geeks could be devastating to a modern society organized around computers. Ah I still have fond memories of living on a farm in Michigan in the 1940s. The farm did not have electricity because nearly all efforts and resources were directed towards winning WWII. Visiting the outdoor $hithouse in the winter was a challenge. The younger posters here probably wouldn't really appreciate the musings of an old codger. It might be difficult but we could exist and live without computers!

#6  Perhaps he was being forced to train his Indian replacement if he wanted his severance benefits.
I think I'd lose it too under those conditions.

#3  Same here BP - otherwise your open to charges of 'disgruntal employee' if anything happens after you leave.

#2  Not really.

Every company I left I wrote out a list of passwords I knew and asked for them to be changed.

#1  A disgruntled city computer engineer has virtually commandeered San Francisco's new multimillion-dollar computer network, altering it to deny access to top administrators even as he sits in jail on $5 million bail, authorities said Monday.

Every laid off IT guy's dream...
