SDF Punted, Due to DDOS

bullshizzle writes "The longest running Public Access UNIX System (SDF, running BSD) est. 1989 had their services terminated abruptly by NWLink because of a DDoS attack. Termination was carried out immediately without prior notification, which violates their contract (page1, page2). Complaints can be filed to the Washington State Attorney General's Office by filling out this simple form conveniently located online. You can follow the story at lonestar.org." While still bad, I've been corrected - SDF was *not* the longest running public access Unix - ArborNet (Located right here in my town) has been around for at least a number more years.

    ABC radio is reporting that some eyewitnesses claim to have seen flaming debris falling to the Earth and that the shuttle hasn't been heard from in an unusually long time. Here's something to get you started. Whoever they're interviewing now is talking about investigating terrorism. We sure are f'ing paranoid these days. Now mod me down, please.
