> My favorite, which also appears applicable to this case is: promote him into a top managerial position, then fire him for breach of trust (top managerial positions require trust from shareholders, the board and the CEO)

You can't retroactively apply "breach of trust" in this situation though, and promoting him with the intention of firing him (which would be obvious) won't help your case.
shrug Couldn't say, I speak for the low-end.
>It's also worth noting that in 3D, each eye only gets a new frame at half of the rate (because each eye only sees half of the frames), so each eye is getting refreshed at the rate of a regular movie.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but I'm curious: if this is a "commodity service", what competitors of BP would you recommend?

I'd love to see more detail on number of people for payroll and especially healthcare, that seems SUPER expensive.
I wasn't particularly familiar with it either, however there's a wikipedia entry :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metasploit_Project

edit : "metasploit module" is likely a reference to the metasploit framework, which is written in Ruby.
If you think recipes are like code, you should look at knitting patterns sometime. It looks like assembly code to me.
It's an automated vulnerability tester.

It will probe websites (and local networks) to find out the OS/server information (IIS, apache, etc), database info (mysql, mssql) and language (asp, php).

It then uses a database of known exploits and scripts (all types XSS, SQL injections, etc).
This is not going to be an SQL injection its going to be a remote code execution of anything you want.

Also expect that all network inspectors based on rules are going to miss it. You can serialize so many objects using YAML (Symbols, Objects, REGEXES, Structs, extend Kernel::HASH, etc..and I've only looked for a few hours), that there are going to be just too many attack vectors.
Metasploit is a software package that incorporates all sorts of security vulnerabilities and tools for using them. It's essentially a console where you can target machines, scan for and exploit vulnerabilities, and then install common payloads (like a backdoor for shell access) on the compromised machine.
Step One: Fire Him (at least make that decision in your head)
Step Two: Work it out for maximum payback to him and less trouble for you.

But a lot depends on how long you were married, maybe the wife still loves him and she may own part of the company.
Santiago is another example, also in the Americas.
This may come as a shock, but not everyone goes to college solely in order to improve their career prospects.
You do have a point.

I was thinking more along the lines of drilling down into the .net framework.
You also just install WP Super Cache and that'll largely handle your problems.
We have 5 staff total, most of that number is 3 of us. Healthcare is high because we pay for 100% of it and everyone is on a family plan. So cost is around $18K/year. We all work remote so we need to use a plan that's national which also costs more.
For "image" read, a runnable core file that can be updated (from within the program) and saved. Seriously. Forth and Smalltalk are two languages that are typically "image" based.

Because of that, the concept of a "program" might not make sense, because it's more of an operating environment. And even if you do buy the concept of a "program", each program is, in essence, a potential development environment (if the REPL is exposed---it can be sometimes be hidden or even modified). As such, a "program upgrade" is (in my opinion) insanely difficult to manage in such an environment, as the customer may have extended the program in an incompatible way with respect to the upgrade.

Also, the concept of "source code" might not exist as we understand it (a human readable set of instructions the computer will carry out stored in a file or files). Forth will compile the code directly; Smalltalk (disclaimer: I have no experience with Smalltalk) might store the code you type somewhere, so it can be viewed and edited, but there's no guarantee it's a "file".
The pay and employment gap between college graduates and non-graduates is actually higher in non-STEM fields, though, which seems to suggest that it's a more important credential if you're non-technical than if you are.
Many personal and business relationships have survived far more serious problems than sex with an ex.

Seriously, an employee's sex life is generally none of the employer's business - neither is the sex life of one's ex-spouse.

Objectively, the employee did not violate the bosses trust and the relationship might be repaired. Though not exactly typical, a marriage and family counselor might help in working toward that end if the parties are willing.
So is it a good tool (testing tool) or malicious?

If it's a good tool, why would he release it so soon without giving people much time to update?

If it's malicious, why is he telling people about it?
lol sigh
So does Apache's mod_security... but this isn't a normal SQLi and I certainly wouldn't rely on that saving you.
I just saw a PoC on twitter a few minutes ago. I tested it locally and was able to run arbitrary ruby code via YAML.load, including shell commands.
People cheat for many reasons besides "I secretly yearn to be poly", there's nothing here that suggests that OP's wife falls under that case.
If you and I go into business together, or if we're best friends, or you're my mentor or I'm yours, then we have a relationship. If you fuck my wife, that's absolutely a betrayal of our relationship, and casts serious doubts on your personal integrity. You maintained a deceitful and duplicitous relationship with me while fucking my wife, and I would fire you for that reason alone: I can't trust you anymore because you have near-sociopathic abilities to carry out an extended deception.

This isn't about revenge. It's about dealing with a breech of trust and a massive conflict of interest.

I don't want my business depending on someone I can't trust, especially if that someone is going to be on the opposite side of a massive legal battle (divorce, in this case).

The owner of the company would be irresponsible to allow his employee to continue while the situation is unresolved; at a minimum, he'd be suspended until after the divorce proceedings complete.

Frankly, I'd get rid of him on the deception and dishonesty alone, because keeping that kind of employee around is a disservice to the rest of the company.
I buy into this -- I very rarely remember a fact or tidbit of information that I quickly search for, especially when compared to what I remember when I read an article or news story and pick up a factoid from that.

Am I better or worse off from it? I'd almost assuredly argue better off, as quick access to virtually any information is one of the biggest highlights of our time.
SF actually has pretty decent stock of light industrial; they can just keep pushing out "dirty" industries as their leases come up, except that a lot of them actually bought their own real estate during the post-2001 dip.
For those who aren't familiar with the Metasploit Project, it's an open source collection of safe and vetted exploits. Once an exploit module makes it into the Metasploit Framework, it's immediately available to ~250K users. The Metasploit Framework isn't just exploits though, it's an integration point for offensive capabilities that simply work together. It's also very easy to hook your own stuff into it.

There are several programs that build on the Metasploit Framework and take advantage of it. Rapid7 has commercial penetration testing products. I build the open source Armitage GUI for it and a commercial add-on called Cobalt Strike.

It's worth spending some time to learn how it works and what it does. Here's a few links:

Yep. Trust is fragile. Once it's shattered, it's hard to piece it back together, especially in this gentlemen's case. The odds are against this work relationship being a healthy one for him and company morale. Time to make a quick termination and move on with more trustworthy co-workers.
> College officials said they need to increase net tuition revenue to keep up with rising expenses that include faculty benefits and salaries.

I would put forth that administrative costs are increasing faster than faculty costs. No hard evidence to back it up, just a lifetime of studying how organizations & bureaucracy grow.

I would also put forth that college life is increasingly cushy. The dorms at my alma mater are amazingly nice, compared to when I went there. I lived in a converted motel run by the university. Today's students have suites, with kitchenettes, free cable TV, reserved parking, and a fitness center. I'm not saying it should return to the barely-better-than-prison experience I had, but there needs to be a limit set, because all that stuff adds to the semester's cost.
Nice one! Comprehensive. Maybe it could use a list of game engines?

But how do you patch it?
No, those are good advice. Boss Man has just suffered a massive psychological shock, and needs to manage his mental state properly.

Not talking to a psychiatrist would be crazy.
Yeah I totally agree. Separation of duties and rotation of duties is actually a pretty important security measure that should be employed at any company. When there is one person that does/knows it all-everything rises and falls on that employee; even your morality.
The irony of quickly searching for this made me chuckle:

http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2008/07/is-googl...
Even if the wife was the instigator and the boss an inept husband, a person of integrity should draw a clear line when it comes to someone who is still in a marriage relationship. The fact that this was his boss's wife makes it all the more damning that he entered into an affair with her. If you have any morals at all you make sure the existing marriage is over before you pursue any kind of intimate relationship.

> Chances are that if the employee said 'no', then the wife would've found somebody else to sleep with.

So your argument is that because there is someone out there with no integrity, it makes it alright for him to act without integrity? And that should not affect his work relationship with his boss?

> The wife was the one who took a vow to remain faithful, not the employee.

If we really value honesty and loyalty, then we cannot excuse him for going behind his boss's back and helping his wife break her marriage vows. If keeping your promises is something we value, then we cannot excuse him for actively helping someone break one of the most important promises in their life.

The wife is definitely at fault, but if you value honesty and trustworthiness then the employee was at indisputably at fault too. I find it mind boggling that people would stand up for this guy.
It's intended to be used for security testing against one's own machines, demonstrating a vulnerability if it exists by directly exploiting it. The general nature of such tools, however, is that they can be used for good or for evil. It's just assumed that the bad guys have something of the sort already.
> Doesn't look like fair-use to me.

If you don't know what "fair use" is, you probably shouldn't be opining on this.
That this sort of psychobabble internet diagnosis is the top comment disproves all theories supporting the wisdom of crowds.

Dealing sensibly with a spouses sleeping around is not a pathology. Neither is dealing sensibly with a friend or colleague who participated.
The exception is and always has been "until it materially affects performance".

It's a shame seeing something like this come up, especially since there is basically no way we can really get a useful picture of events to give advice. Several statements lack qualifying detail that could be useful:

Recently, I found out that one of my employees has been having an affair with my wife.

Drunk hookup at New Year's Eve party, semi-monthly when the timing works out, or on your office desk every Friday when you're out playing golf?

My wife has since left me

For the employee? For another party entirely? For Scientology?

I've spoken to him, and he says he's sorry about what's happened but he's also not leaving.

He's sorry he got caught, or that he got caught up in the heat of the moment?

Seriously, there's degrees here and a simple "The arrogant little bastard cuckolded me!" likely doesn't do the situation justice.

Moreover, as the guy points out himself, the employee is technically competent and also the matter is private at the moment--presumably, he may be able to let sleeping dogs lie.

This is stupid drama and we can't help because we're all supposing things wildly.

This may be the only valuable bit of advice posted here.
A CEO's job is not to avoid conflict. In fact, I think it is probably quite the opposite. The startups that avoid conflict are usually full of yes men and they usually end up dead, from my experience. Writing this post was probably 10x more helpful to BetaPunch than anything else I could have done, although they seem so belligerent and willfully ignorant of their mistake that I am not sure it will have any impact.

Since I haven't seen the exploit, I don't know that it will do anything at all!
It's not the employee's responsibility to stay away from your wife. It's your wife's responsibility to not sleep with other people and your responsibility not to give her any reason to.

I've never understood the Hollywood story of wife cheats on husband, husband beats up her lover. As far as you know he wasn't even aware she was married.

In this case clearly he was aware it was your wife. Would it change the story if she was your girlfriend instead of your wife? Your x-wife? Your x-girlfriend?

I'd say effectively since she had the affair she already was your x-wife. Do the circumstances matter? If he she had left first then later started a relationship with this guy would that change how you feel? If he'd never met your wife while you were married and then met her without knowing she was your wife would that change things?

I'm not suggesting you shouldn't feel upset or want to fire the guy or get him to leave. You feel how you feel. All I'm suggesting is other ways to frame the issue that might subtly change your P.O.V.
SF also seems to be Mecca if you're gay, at least a certain kind of 20-35 year old gay man, too, which has a huge crossover with tech workers. I know it's been a great way to recruit at previous companies -- find the gay kid who is a developer or designer stuck in some crappy midwestern/southern town and help him relocate to San Francisco with a good job. But most of the older gay people I know later end up becoming boring and move to Walnut Creek or whatever to have a family, just like other people as they get older. Presumably NYC has the same thing going on.

I've only ever really been in the dating scene in the bay area for a month or two a couple times, and ended up with girlfriends rapidly. I guess being involved in the rave/party/etc. scene, and being interested in smart/confident/etc. vs. a lot of other things = easy mode for dating? But I don't really have anything to calibrate against other than MIT.

I'm concerned that I'm maybe putting the wrong emphasis on some bit of what you said, because if I'm not then yes, I disagree with you.

There is no reason historically that people have not had to work to support themselves, and so to suggest that they not do this suggests either that you desire them all to become layabouts dependent on welfare or that you want them to stop working and die off. Please explain an alternate interpretation of this.
Then you're wasting tax dollars and a slot at a school that could be filled with a student who actually needs an education for the field they plan on entering.

The devaluation of the college degree is partly because of the gross amount of people who go to college for no reason other than to socialize and enjoy themselves.

If your coworker sleeps with your wife you go to your boss and say "it's me or him, but I can't work with him".
I never implied that the boss should do nothing. I'd echo most people here indicating that he should be fired for a lack of trust. Yes, I'm going to continue to contend that beating the shit out of someone isn't the mature reaction regardless of the time since incident.

Also, I find it exceedingly amusing that you portray me as "raging" as you support "beating the crap out of" someone.

Have you tried maintaining some infrastructure over a decade? I did. And I sincerely don't know, which way is better.

There are tradeoffs. Physical hardware doesn't change underneath you, but can fail, require expensive maintenance itself and reliable infrastructure around it (colo). Hosting providers tend to phase out services or even go out of business completely. PaaS limits you, providers change the APIs all the time.

Having been a EC2 user since its announcement and first open beta, I'm actually more and more inclined to think that it IS mature enough to be considered. I'm pretty sure that if I'd try, I can find an AMI from 2007 and it would run perfectly well.

On the other hand from costs perspective, reserved instances are not that expensive, and, unlike regular hosting providers, costs pretty much guarantied to go down, in the long term.
