Code Red Refunds?

bubblegoose writes "In Washington state Qwest customers are asking for a refund due to losses of service during the Code Red thing. Qwest is refusing to give the refunds. Excite has a story about it here." I tend to think this is just complaining bull crap. My net connection when down too, and I don't run around demanding $5 back. I'd be more upset if I was a business and my server rooted by this. The irony is that this will probably end up just pushing subscription software.

  6. The Truth About CmdrTaco, VA, and Microsoft by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Note: When Taco and his goons read this post I'll probably be killed and this post may be deleted so READ IT FAST!!

    The Truth About CmdrTaco, VA, and Microsoft:

    According to my inside source who is relatively high up in the management at VA, MICROSOFT has been backing CmdrTaco all along. That's right: MICROSOFT is responsible for the creation of slashdot. Their goal was probably to bring down Linux and it looks like they succeeded: LNUX is trading at like a buck and a quarter now on the Nasdaq. RHAT is at a record low and CALD is going bankrupt. Even the LinuxCare IPO was canceled. Don't even get me started on Lineo.

    But why?? WHY bankroll Taco?? The answer lies in VA's aquisition of slashdot. Microsoft knew all along that VA was going to be a big threat. So after bankrolling Taco for a few years, they created a puppet organization to "buy" him out: ANDOVER!! Then they threw a few billion in Andover's advertising budget to get VA's interest. It worked: VA bought out Andover a few months after its IPO.

    Once Microsoft had the trojan horse within the gates of VA, they began to dismantle EVERYTHING. When a loyal VA employee would turn his back, a paid Microsoft shill(such as Taco) would unplug all the ethernet cables!! And bend the pins on the CPU's too!! And other stuff like this.

    After a couple years of this terrorism, VA was forced to leave the hardware market because their margins just sucked because of all the broken hardware. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED for Microsoft. But what about Taco?? Why did he go along with all this?? No one would sell out their own dear friends for a few Microsoft millions, would they??

    THE TRUTH: CmdrTaco doesn't exist. He isn't a real person. He's like JeffK, a product of someone's imagination. The true hand behind the taco is...

    BILL GATES.

    I have to go now, some people in black suits are breaking down my door. LET THE TRUTH BE KNOWN!! TRUST NO TACOS!!!
