IRC Networks Unite in Fight Against Fizzer Worm

Posted by michael on from the why-cliff-got-klined dept.

Dave writes "Over the past few days, IRC Networks across the internet have felt the brunt of the Fizzer worm. In an unusual display of geek solidarity, representatives from dozens of IRC Networks, including EFNet, IRCNet and DALnet, have gathered to create a Fizzer Task Force. Interesting, and mostly productive results have occurred so far from such a meeting of the IRC minds."

    I would say probably 99.999% of irc users use mIRC.

    This is the dumbest, most wannabe "I use an alternative OS" post I have ever seen. What an idiotic, short sighted idea. Do you have some misguided notion that IRC was created for people running Linux or BSD? I myself use mIRC under wine, becase regardless of what know nothing wannabe elitists think of it, it is one of the best clients out there. So I'm running mIRC under Linux.. does that count in your stupid Windows ban? Hey, let's turn this around. Linux clients shouldn't be able to connect to Windows' servers. At least that would keep your dumbass off of slashdot, and half the internet.

    Windows bashing is fine in my book, but making ridiculous suggestions is exactly that.. ridiculous.

    Mouse drop downs worked, but aliases were in their to. I had it set up to do which ever I felt like doing. When I was leaning back watching I would use the mouse. When someone was arguing and we were typing back and fourth I would use an alias. Roll your own.
