Yep, that was the update. Mine was a little longer than half an hour, though, I think.
I knew a guy back in the '80s who moved on to working for Microsoft. He was a real piece of work. I'll bet he's a party to this kind of stuff. Back when all us naive people just started using mainframe computers, our username was our last name, and the password was our first name. That prick went in and fucked around with people's accounts all the time. His uncle was the Senior Scientist for our Lab, so he got away with more shit than you would believe. By the time I retired, any of his shenanigans would have gotten him fired at that company, due to the change in corporate culture (and a slew of lawsuits). Too little, too late.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
