blogs.ittoolbox.com — Two geeks at a small tech startup find out that their CFO and a few other executives are not only planning on selling the company and terminating all the employees, but padding their own pockets with millions and screwing the board of directors/investors. The two geeks take matters into their own hands using linux, postfix and some ingenuity.

Plenty of 'happy endings' in the pron business.

The story reeks of fiction, but its a good read none the less.

On one hand this story sounds a little too "neat" and a little too good to be true. On the other hand, not everyone is computer literate (that might be difficult for Digg readers to believe but it's true), and will occasionally make boneheaded mistakes like the villian in this story. My electronics shop repairs computers (among other things) and sometimes I'll run across a hard drive containing some very questionable content along with the viruses/adware the customers have picked up. One time I even spotted some porn images on a laptop belonging to a local church minister (I won't mention his name). I could've blackmailed his ass so easily, but (luckily for him) I don't play that way. Sometimes you'd be surprised at who is doing what when they're sure no one's looking....

The plural of "Jedi" is... "Jedi"

I wonder if those who made the comments on trustworthiness would feel the same if it was the guy who was doing the cheating and the girl who was doing the checking...Sauce for the goose, my friends. In my mind, the one excuse for unethical behavior is to expose suspected behavior that is even more unethical. Does that make it right? No... but it does make it understandable.Ladies, Geeks are generally superior marriage prospect... but don't lie to one; they know stuff :)

Like the movie Hostel but the corrupt execs as the victims. They would be thinking things differently when treated with sharp objects. No?

Its a shame that you have to be a proper hacker/geek to do that.... if normal people could do that then life would be so much fun! (no offense to geeks and hackers, i don't mean that your not normal or anything!)
