Sysadmins Restore Iraqi ISP

Hen3ry writes "Brian McWilliams of Wired News reports on the dedicated staff of Iraq's State Company for Internet Services, or SCIS, and how they built, maintained, and rebuilt Internet access before, during, and after the war. Ba'ath Party loyalists still run SCIS but their dedicated employees continue to press on. Fascinating stuff about how one sysadmin managed to keep the country online up until a US missle struck the roof of the Ministry of Information building."

"The Worm"

[Anonymous Coward]

Harif was renowned for putting in 20-hour days in SCIS' main office in the Information Ministry building. His reputation as a nerdy workaholic earned him the nickname "The Worm" among friends and colleagues.

I heard it was because of the amature pr0n he was hosting, including pics of himself glass-bottom boating lil' Uday with a corn cob up his sunburned ass. Iraqi's aren't exactly well hung (penises shrivel in the hot sun), thus "The Worm".

Subsequently, Saddam is known as "The Sandy Tromboner".

We should have killed these Iraqi bitches along with the rest of the innocent Iraqi children we slaughtered.

We support our troops 100%.
