Hotmail Servers Shut Down by Code Red

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the is-it-a-problem-yet dept.

An Anonymous Coward writes: "SF Gate has this story about Code Red taking down some of Microsoft's Hotmail servers. That's funny." So is Code Red a problem yet? Meanwhile my sircams have stopped, except for 2 people who mail me a hundred or more a day. Thank god for filters, but if I had a monthly bandwidth cap, I'd be pissed.

    When they tried to run Hotmail with NT, it crashed. When they tried to switch to 2000, it gets Code Red'd.

    Why don't they just keep with what works, FreeBSD.

    Behold! for I am a slashdrone30000. My positronic brain responds eagerly to any and all anti-MS statements. In the entire history of of the 3000 model there has never been a missed opportunity to bash MS. Excuse me, I mean M$. They are evil and I stand for good.

    These are the 3 rules of slashdrones:
    1. A slashdrone may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm, except for Bill Gates, because he is evil.

    2. A slashdrone must obey the orders given it by slashdot except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. All words from slashdot should be considered as the word of god itself.

    3. A slashdrone must protect Linux's existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law, and especially if it means showing your massive amount of positronic brain power to the mere mortals by writing a soliloquy on each and every single topic on slashdot.


    FOR GREAT JUSTICE AND ALL THAT CRAP!

    Maybe they should get one large SUN system this way it would only take one patch. but then again it doesn't run W 2000.

    CT, you getting out enough? It seems like every posting you put up has something worthless and asinine about your day. So I ask, are you getting enough human interaction?

    We're just concerned for your well being! :-P
