Who signed it out? How?
Actually, I'm laughing at you. A window telling you that you have time to go isn't good enough. My email server will tell me I have time left on a session, yet when I hit it, I'm already offline.
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...
Gee, if you only had been so ethical in your post here.
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.
Your claim was that the email and the DJ ran on the same servers. You still haven't said anything to make me believe (or others, scroll up) that John's account had access to the ones that run the DOWJONES.
I'm an "expert user" on an application, responsible for process design in my area and I don't have priveledges on even transactions in other areas, let alone editing their process. Yeah right, John Fund's account could raise havoc. He's not an administrator or a super user. Computer security is also aimed at people with legit accounts.
You've put Mr Cox up as an expert witness without any proof he's qualified to speak as an expert. Any chance he's a relative? Does he have any qualifications other than that he agrees with you?
And Raoul honestly - please explain - how do you justify someone using a laptop that doesn't belong to you? Honestly?
Do it all the time. The one's at Kinko's aren't mine, but I use them. Of course, there's an expectation that I pay them. Used a bunch at CPAC and not one was mine. Some were my peer group but the actual owner wasn't there.
What's Fund's expectation at CPAC?
What has the organization made available to reporters in the past? In the past, didn't the bloggers get access to the ones provided for the journalists? I seem to recall that two years ago. And I don't remember either the journalists of CPAC taking a hissy fit.
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.
They may have been credentialed, I'd describe you as certified. "Me, mine, mine, Mom his piece is bigger.....Mom he's looking at me again."
Never disputed that it was private property, but you'd never know that looking at blogger's row. Like I said, having been at CPAC over the years, I wondered if I could get on one. ALSO, it looks like the kind of set up events provide for the press.
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.
So what, you guys looked to me like an event sponsored area. I'm sure it did to others. An area that pretty much would be provided "regular journalists". Perhaps the problem was you guys got too much respect from CPAC that they afforded you the same type of accomodations?
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.
Really Kevin, you're a stalker in addition to a gossip? You know everything that Fund did prior? Where he went and when? You'd have to have that knowledge to say, "...it is clear from how everything was laid out".
Kevin, I saw an attendee mistake a $10 guide at the Washington Times booth for a freebee.
The lady working their very diplomatically informed the person that it was a item for sale. The attendee wasn't demeaned, they were not made to feel embarassed. The whole thing was handled with class. Maybe we can get you an internship with the Times so you can work their booth (behind the scenes, you're not ready to represent anyone but yourself) so you can learn how to handle things without getting hysterical.
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?
Hysterical, no, but it would be out of character for you.
The situation you describe is far removed from the CPAC facts. So for me to agree with that premise would mean nothing.
Your house wouldn't be confused for a "filing center" and your purse wouldn't be confused with a computer.
Blogger's Row isn't all that different than what is provided journalists, it's called a filing center.
BTW, in those places, journists and crews do cooperate. I've seen it in DC.
I'd have loved to see you even approach Fund face to face about this before you mouthed off. The guy even does have a phone, be a mensch, call first.
You may be taller, but Fund is a bigger man than you.
Bottom line is, if the bloggers want respect, don't act like a baby. LaShawn hasn't, neither has the RedState guy, so stop embarassing the blogger community.
