SCO DOS'ed

Posted by michael on from the world's-smallest-violin dept.

Thomas Cort writes "BusinessWeek has an article about a DDoS attack against SCO. "At 10:45 a.m., the Unix and Linux seller was hit by a distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS) that hampered its Internet operations, said SCO spokesman Blake Stowell ... the Utah-based company has incurred the wrath of many Linux enthusiasts infuriated with its lawsuit against IBM ... SCO's Internet service provider, ViaWest, told SCO that about 100 high-speed T1 data-transmission lines of network capacity--about 90 percent of its total bandwidth--was being consumed in the attack.""

    We GAVE peace a chance. Boycott the ANTI-war machine.

    Putting aside all ethical or moral stance on the war, I still can't believe some people believe this line. The plan always was to go to war, with or without WMD (and there were none). And you know it, but your fanatical love of your country is blinding you from what is clearly visible to reasonable people. This war was played on the religious and nationalistic pride of the ignorant US people. Only a country of childre would put out something as cynical as a deck of card. Having the US rule the world is like being stuck on the island in Lord of the flies.

    I'm sure you'd much rather live in the world ruled by either North Korea or Saddam's Iraq.

    Rather than living in a world ruled by the US you mean?

    You know, I'd rather live in a world which is ruled by all democratic nations, or at least no nation in particular.

    But with a Bush in the Whitehouse, and apologists such as yourself, that's aparently much too much to hope for.
