IT Thrill Seekers: File Transfers and FTP Roulette
I've heard recently that there is a new craze for thrill seekers known as Russian Roulette parachuting - a one in six chance that the parachute might not open - but apparently this is just not close enough to the edge for some IT folks out there. It seems the latest stunt is using FTP (File Transfer Protocol) to provide access to information. You would have thought that this went out with Glitter Rock since they both showed up around 1972, but apparently there are still FTP groupies out there.
