Still though, the guy was a tool for using his work computer, especially considering that he worked for a city, which probably has a zero-tolerance policy which forces them to report all infractions to the authorities.
From what I understood from the article there was a proper use policy that was never published or distributed. That still doesn't make what this guy did any more appropriate of course.

I think the theft of time is completely valid and more relevant to a hacking charge. Funny enough they dropped that charge and kept the hacking charge.
