SCO DOS'ed
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.""
fucking dumb asses.

That's an absolutely perfect image of your OS to present. "Not only are we far superion to those M$ luzers, but if you disagree with us we'll bring your server down in flames!"
If only you could spell surprise, asshole.
This was funny about 3 weeks ago.
Mission accomplished!
If the mission is to show how unprofessional and downright childish some members of the community can be, you have succeeded.
What's next, DDoS'ing Microsoft? Or maybe any Windows desktop user? Perhaps anyone who opposes OSS in any form should be the target. What if Microsoft decided to do a covert DDoS against Red Hat's site? I'm sure you would all be up in arms.
Sure, SCO is likely to be wrong, we all know that. Sure, they may be "stupid" or just blowing smoke out their ass, but nothing has been proven yet. Innocent until proven guilty. Perhaps this fraction of the Linux should practice what they preach (as many Slashdotters do).
I'm sure these tactics will help Linux gain mainstream acceptance both in the desktop and server markets. Keep it up!
How can the first post be 'redundant'??? Morons!

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

Are you serious!? The equivalent of 100 t1's isnt SHIT. All the guy had to crack was a couple oc3/12/48's and he would have been set. Trust me, this was no attack of great efforts. It's called a script 'k1dd13' buddy, script kiddie
Laws only protect the rich, so the rest of us need no longer revere them or consider them a moral obligation.
Who cares about SCO, IBM and Linux? We always have the *BSD's to fall back on...
