    Slashdot reamed this poor site like a drunken virgin on Prom night...

    What's worse is this error message I got when I visited:


    Fatal error
    Type of error Database error: connect(localhost,icrontic,PASSWORD) failed.
    Error message MySQL Error: ()

    Please report this bug to the webmaster.
    Thank you.

    Is that a database password 'PASSWORD' I see before me? I think it is! This site's in for a long, long day.

      Probably the same people that love to nmap anything posted here. I've seen my logs, I know what happens.

    Considering how fast they've been /.ed I'm betting they tried using one of these as their webserver.

    Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the V.P. is such a V.I.P., shouldn't we keep the P.C. on the Q.T.? 'Cause of the leaks to the V.C. he could end up M.I.A., and then we'd all be put out in K.P.
