Disgruntled at $150k/year?

The guy is making good jack, gets one poor review (we think), and jepordizes his future over such pettiness.  I mean - look who he works for  ::)

Wasn't there a big case lately on computer passwords and whether a person could be forced in court to give them up?

IIRC that was a case of child pr0n and a locked laptop.  Never heard how it ended.

Hey, $150K in SF isn't the same as it would be in St. Louis.   ;)

Very interesting.  Thanks for pulling those up.


I say it's definitely testimonial, and thus potentially self incriminating.
