Ballmer admits he stole bandwidth
Geez,
This is bad. Read the third to last and second to last paragraphs. Billionaires acting like script kiddies! No wonder they keep arresting big company CEO's lately. http://www.infoworld.com/articles/op...722opcurve.xml

thorn, that story is a real jewel! nice find.
and we thought some of the n00bs here were dumb. i've copied the relevant text below so people don't have to wade through the rest of the story:For all his success at bringing Microsoft's warring constituencies together, there are still things beyond Bill and Steve's control. "I was in a hotel in Sun Valley last week that was not wired," Ballmer recalls. "So I turned on my PC, and XP tells me there is a wireless network available. So I connect to something called Mountaineer. "Well, I don't know what that is. But I VPN into Microsoft. It worked! I don't know whose broadband I used," he chuckles. "I didn't see it in Bill's room. I called him up and said, 'Hey, come over to my room.' So soon everyone is there and connecting to the Internet through my room." Chalk up another good day for Steve Ballmer, CEO. Bill Gates may be the chief software architect, but as Microsoft matures in the Ballmer era innovation in software shares the spotlight with teamwork. somebody in Sun Valley should bring this story to "Mountaineer"'s attention.

Even if this is an unintentional theft of services, it it still a theft.

And another thing...
InfoWorld has a big Ethics Discussion forum.
Hmmm... No mention of this that I can see.

I did, right after I posted in the News forum here. The script said two items were pending review before mine, so I gather aFR or the other admins haven't been able to review submissions today.
