"He works for a computer company in California. He does something with the Internet". Now I want to know what company!
- wisty 15y agoFull quote: "This is quite a shock. He hasn't been under any stress that I know of. He's never really under any stress. He works for a computer company in California. He does something with the Internet, which is just kind of mystical to me. This is quite a surprise" It's no surprise to me that he "does something with the internet". Who else would protest TSA procedures by walking through naked?
- KeithMajhor 15y agoI've felt like that at times but I think it's important to be unbiased. We're not the only people who give a shit.
- cwp 15y agoNote also the beard.
- wyclif 15y agoTen bucks says he's a sysadmin.

- reledi 15y agoThere's no need to publicly identify him. edit: Sorry, you're right. I somehow missed that in the article. I fully agree with you that he deserves to be supported, but regardless of his profession. If his actions get linked to his employer somehow, it could have a negative outcome on his career.
- caladri 15y agoThe article already did. I think it's useful to support the guy, as someone who agrees with him, by cheering this as the actions of a real person that should be a source of pride, and not pretending that this is some embarrassment that should be hidden. We shape the culture, expectations and the power individuals feel to speak and to challenge authority with how we react to stories like this. I deliberately applaud @CrimsonJohn for his actions. I don't think they were wrong or shameful, or should be seen as such, and I won't pretend that they were. His father was willing to go on the record questioning his son's sanity and trivializing the stresses of his son's life. The tech community can do better for one of our own than that.
