Yeh - I read that. Quite am00sing 'twas

How much bullshit about Code Red did the media swallow ? The BBC News (telly, not web) the other night was virtually saying the web was going to explode

 

[Testin da Cable]

dutch media was on the air [briefly] complaining about the media hype [heh irony or what =P]

 

[(Shovel)]

BBC tv then went on to say that the fix for the windows weakness had been avaiable for months... everyone laugh at companies worldwide who "forgot" to check WindowsUpdate.com...

The fix for windows has been available for years:
































Linux. Plain and Simple.

Linux is for cocks.

Apparently, Code Red had zero impact on the web - the slowdown on July 17th was caused by a train crash and fire which melted a load of data cables.

 

[Summo]

You what? How can a bunch of knackered cables over some train line slow down the Internet around the world?

Answer me that, sunshine.

 

[Will]

I can't be bothered, but the answer you seek is here, young jedi.

 

[Summo]

...severed cables running through the tunnel used by seven of the biggest net service providers to swap data.

Aah... I getcha. I have completed my training, master.

 

[Will]

I think you were looking for 'The circle is complete. Now I am the master'

 

[Summo]

The circle is complete. Now I... dammit!

Yeah sure.

Heard a report that said Code Red is a memory resident virus, and a reboot should get rid of it.

Therefore, on a Windows machine, it should'nt be too much of a problem, as a reboot is required on most servers every other day anyway

Linux rox

 

[Will]

You considered paging up to look at my earlier post?

 

[bids]

Nope

 

[Will]

Go on, you know you want to. Don't make me quote myself.

 

[bids]

No won't

 

[Will]

I really will. Don't think I'm bluffing you with this "I'll quote myself"

 

[bids]

Oh OK then

<* Bids scrolls up *>

Bugger me - you copied my post

 

[Will]

Well done.

 

[bids]
