A sysadmin tries, and fails at being a 133t hacker

A disgruntle employee is a dangerous thing. Lucky for this company, this one didn't do any damage. I'm glad that our legal system is trying to reflect the reality of today's workplace. That writing destructive or disruptive software can be (and in my opinion, should be) a crime. The amount of damage a hacker can do is stunning, and currently our legal system is inapt at best and ineffective at worst at dealing with computer / internet crimes.

I suspect foul play...

HOUSTON (Reuters) - A Houston-area man was killed in a hunting accident after his dog stepped on a loaded shotgun in the back of a pick-up truck, triggering a blast that pierced the vehicle and the hunter's leg, a local sheriff said.

Perry Price, a 46-year-old math teacher, shot a goose on Saturday then put his gun in the back of the truck where the dog was waiting to retrieve the bird.

"I've been in law enforcement 20 years and this is probably the strangest one I've had," said Chambers County Sheriff Joe LaRive.

Investigators found paw prints and mud from the dog, a chocolate Labrador retriever named Arthur, on the shotgun, LaRive said.

Price was taken to a local hospital, but died from a loss of blood after doctors were unable to revive him.

How (and Where) to Ship Stuff Ahead When You Travel [Travel]

from Lifehacker by Gina Trapani

If you're traveling with stuff you don't want to lug onto the airplane, box it up and ship it ahead of time to your destination's local post office and mark it general delivery or "post restante." Then pick it up there when you arrive. Travel site Upgrade explains:

Poste restante is an old fashioned mail-pickup service that most countries' postal services still provide. Mail is addressed to a person, but in lieu of an address for delivery, the mail is sent to a post office branch, where you pick it up. You'll usually address mail to Name, Poste Restante, the specific name of the post office (usually the main, central office), that branch's street location, city, postal code, and country. Of course, you need to KNOW the location you'll be picking it up from beforehand.

You can also ship ahead to the hotel where you're staying, or, if you're an American Express customer, to the local AmEx Travel Service office.
