Sounds like you haven't evolved past even the two year old in a sand box phase. At least they learn to take turns. You have to be real anal about Bloggers Row to believe your own position. It was very ambigous as to who could or couldn't use a computer on Bloggers Row. I know, I was there too. I wondered if I could use those too.
Helping them realize its not good for them to keep touching things that don't belong to them is.
And that's your role in the world. Have you won the "Little Tin Yenta Award" yet?
Fund also left the blogger's computer connected to the Wall Street Journal's servers which also just happen to be the servers for the DOW JONES.
Ah, Kevin, tell us if it was signed in....
Oh, that wouldn't be so hysterical would it.
Had the bloggers in bloggers corner not had decency and integrity the problems that John is facing tonight by a little bit of an embarrassing story - would PALE in comparison to the lawsuit that the WSJ could have tapped his butt for...
John is facing? That's hysterical, both funny and exaggerated and so typical of you. The intergrity problem is at your end of the story.
Lawsuit? Please, please tell us why John would be sued by the WSJ? Now remember, you have to determne if he left it signed in.
Well Raoul, he did in fact leave it signed in. And when Bob found the window on his screen that told him he had another 1 hour and 20 minutes left before it would disconnect on its own.
In addition he left his e-mail page at Outlook open as well.
The bloggers were very careful not to open a single one. But about half of us confirmed what Bob asked us to verify...
So to review -
1. He was signed in to the WSJ e-mail server, AND the Dow Jones admin server.
2. I was told by Mr. Cox that a hacker with a third grade education could create great havoc with both of these servers at their disposal and passwords already signed in.
And Raoul honestly - please explain - how do you justify someone using a laptop that doesn't belong to you? Honestly?
Each of us who had been credentialed brought our own laptops, cameras, audio devices, and everything else that use to keep our sites updated. In other words this was all personal property.
In addition there was a large area sponsored by TownHall.com just 30 yards from us that had computers available for people like Fund who didn't have a laptop of their own. And since John had been there since CPAC had opened (he spoke in the first half of the first day) it is clear from how everything was laid out - that he knew what he was doing when he went to mooch someone else's machine.
If that sounds hysterical I do apologize. But Raoul - honestly - if someone walked in off the street into your living room - and started rummaging through your desk, your wife's purse, or your dresser - wouldn't you tell them to cut it out?
