Re: Fired IT guy puts porn in ex-boss' PowerPoint, gets sweet revenge

Hmmmmm:

"... faces federal charges connected to the guns and homemade silencer supplies cops found when they searched his home 
for evidence of hacking."

So, they found something that clearly wasn't related to what they were supposed to be looking for.  How can they seize 
guns and silencers if they're looking for "evidence of hacking".  Wouldn't the search warrant be pretty specific for 
Computer type equipment?

A guy who slips porn into a CEO's PowerPoint presentation isn't the
kind of computer nerd you'd expect to spend his off-Internet hours
making homemade gun silencers. But disgruntled IT guy Walter Powell,
52, apparently wasn't in it for the lulz.

..... there are two survival skills we must always remember: Never
mess with people who handle your food; and never, whenever possible,
enrage the IT guy.
