Very computer literate indeed.

Taking a quick break from what I was doing I decided to have a look at Reddit to see if there was anything new and interesting to read. Currently occupying the 2nd and 3rd positions on the Reddit front page are two different links to 2 different accounts of the City Manager of Tuttle, Oklahoma and his threats of reporting CentOS to the FBI for hacking.

Link #2 goes to the Register’s story on the whole incident (thats where i got the link to Mr Taylor)
Link #3 goes to the account as posted (including full emails) on the CentOS Site

I won’t go into detail, as there is too much to fully duplicate here. But to sumarise, if with “22 years in computer systems engineering and operation” you can’t comprehend plain language telling you that it is a problem with your webserver and you need to contact the Administrator or that server, then you’ve really got some problems. If instead you retaliate with what amounts to “stop hacking us or I’ll call the FBI” you make yourself look ignorant, incompetant and exceptionally stupid all at the same time.

I had to share as I found it too damn funny reading it.
