    I don't have time to patch my servers against code red!

    I'm too damned busy reply to all of my email. You'd never believe how many people have been sending me files asking for my advise!

  2. Funny BBC quote by Bowdie · · Score: 2, Funny

    From the BBC's news page about codered :

    "What might also hamper the ability of the virus to spread is the relative unreliability of Microsoft web servers.
    The Code Red virus lurks in the memory of a web server and is cleared when the computer is rebooted.
    As Microsoft servers crash more often than many of their counterparts, this might limit the spread of the malicious code. "
