So much of the discussion is about what he said has any truth. I think this is beside the question. He Wrote and distributed materials criticizing his employer's core HR mission while alienating coworkers.
If you're a person targeted in his manifesto, I'd suspect you'd no longer want to work alongside him. That's reason enough to fire him on the spot. He's creating a hostile work environment via coworkers and media.
For those that doubt it, I say try it at your job and see what comes of it.
The researcher rubs me the wrong way for a few reasons:
1. 15 days for a major company not nearly enough to remedy this issue.
2. The activity log reads like a ransom timeline. This isn't some l33t hacker exploit it's simple session hijack and mac spoof. You're not owed anything for finding this.
Anyone that tries this could tread carefully. If you get caught (chances are slim), it wouldn't be hard to convince a jury that you're hacking an airborne plane's network.

Did you know a bathroom lock is woefully insecure!?! Time to hold the government ransom about this exploit and collect my millions. If they don't pay, I'll post it on the internet.

Right. So how did you react? Did you have your mom write the family a letter? Post it to tumblr? Write an angry post about the poor management of the restaurant? Or did you handle the situation as an adult and move on with your life?
When this child grows up, there will be no parent to write a blog post. My point being, we all have to learn to navigate this difficult world. Stern letters from mom eventually have to stop.
Kids say terrible things. This isn't the sign of a bad teacher or a worthy of a internet rant, it's an opportunity to prepare her kids (Not just the girls) for the real full-contact brutal reality known is the the real working world.
Since when it is alright to tell teachers how to do their job in bullet pointed letters?
* Be an adult and talk about any issues, complements or concerns during the class.
* Talk with them in person or on the phone.
* If you wish, post to your blog after the issues have been resolved. To put a global context on the situation should be supported with evidence as it pertains to life as a women in the IT industry.
(See what I'm doing here with the bullet points?)
Parents theses days...
--edit--
As I'm reading some of the responses to my post, I have to ask, what pillow soft existence did many of you grow up with? Kids (and people) say terrible things. This isn't the sign of a bad teacher, it's an opportunity for this blogger to prepare her kids (Not just the girls) for the real full-contact brutal reality known is the the real working world. Life gets waaaay harder than this.
"Reddit users" is akin to saying "internet users"... Sure many people think of steve urkil, but anyone with depth realizes that the "culture" is wide and varying.
I enjoyed the Microsoft store, as well as the sony store in LA.
Personally, I've grown bored with the apple store and don't have a reason to visit any longer (Same old inventory and experience for years). Now, the MS & Sony stores had several things that I haven't seen in retail stores before (3d binoculars, high end cameras etc..) and was very engaging. If I had a need for what they were selling (and wasn't such a amazon fanatic), I'd have no problem dropping in. I think this is a good trend.
The Mac fans are being a little too precious, IMHO.

Honestly, what did he think would happen?
