Worm vs. Worm Battle Slows Networks

joel_archer writes "According this article at the DrudgeReport, a worm, apparently designed to patch MSBlaster infected Win2K and XP machines, brings various Canadian networks to a crawl. Hardest hit was the 411 system, Air Canada, and Ontario hydro electric operations. Apparently this is causing more problems than MSBlaster itself."

    Last I heard, you are now charged $8 for 4 (pretty crappy) chicken wings.

    You've come a long way, baby...

    I've been flying since I was a baby, and an early memory was being pissed off that the Air Canada stewardesses kept on insisting on pre-slicing my steak for me...

    Steak and salad for lunch (steak just slightly pink in the middle) with fruit salad for desert. Real metal knifes and forks and plastic plates that were probably more indestructible than corningware.

    Now, I feel lucky to get a chicken sandwich in a paper bag.
