NYT Reports Porn Spam Hijacking Network

Posted by michael on from the fit-to-print dept.

twitter writes "This NYT story describes how thousands of PCs have been used as porn spambots and reverse proxy servers, and mentions that they could be used for kiddie porn. Finally, though Microsoft is not mentioned, people might start to understand what a monoculture of poor quality software enables."

    Third, was the comment necessary?

    You must be new to slashdot. Of course the mandatory MS slam is necessary in every post, regardless of the topic. I mean they are the cause of _every_ problem known to man.

    Besides, what else is going to drive geeks to click those ad banners? We need anti-MS hype, not facts!

    michael is famous for his mind-blowingly inane anti-MS comments, both his own and allowing the same for submitters. You'll catch his eye much easier if you submit something blasting MS, even if it's offtopic to the submission itself.

    These guys? Are you referring to the editors? If you are, the editors are known for adding short blurbs to the end of an article write-up which is usually just trolling. The editors honestly believe they are better than most everyone who posts on Slashdot - look at how they treat people who challenge the way things are done. People are modded off-topic and their past comments are also bitchslapped into oblivion. The editors carry vendettas and hate to see anyone voice an opinion that is contrary to what they think.

    And as far as submitting stories goes - I think you missed the point. Anyone could have submitted this story without the flamebait tacked on the end but the editors are going to choose the one to post that has that flamebait. There is no way to be part of the solution by submitting stories because ultimately, the editors are just going to ignore the voices of anyone who actually uses some decent journalism techniques.

    Calling people's comments worthless? That's nice.

    Read that as "Although MS isn't implicated at ALL in the article, I as a Slashdot reader must make my daily quota of biased anti-MS attacks despite the evidence to the contrary." Glad to see the status quo is strong on /.

    The comment is completely offtopic to the article. Preach on all you want GNU/Pastor, and while you may be right in what you said, you are also offtopic to the article. The wreckless MS bashing (when it's not appropriate) just makes this shitty website look even shittier. When it comes from GNU fanboys, it makes me laugh when said fanboys wonder why other people think of them as mindless zombies. Take that how you will, just saying you are merely contributing to the continual GNU wankfest that happens around here instead of actual "discussion".

    Well, then submit a comment via e-mail to NYT because THEY wrote the article not the person supplying the article.

    Finally, though Ratphace is not mentioned, people might start to understand what a monoculture of ignorant sons of bitches are on Slashdot.
