Gnome.org Compromised?

Garden GNOME writes "The GNOME sysadmin team has just announced that the main GNOME web server has probably been intruded into, leading to the shutdown of the GNOME website, (including bugzilla.gnome.org, art.gnome.org and developer.gnome.org). The GNOME mailing lists, and CVS servers seem to be up, though the FTP server was immediately taken down as a precautionary measure (released sources are believed to be intact). This is bad, because GNOME 2.6 was supposed to be released tomorrow. Let's hope it is a false alarm."

    Hey, when windows comes with half the stuff that most Linux distros ship with and install by default you might have a point; until then your argument is like comparing Apples and PCs.

    "This has got to be the work of those KDE bastards!"

    Not a chance - they're too busy trying to add support for languages that less than 5 people speak; like Bengali.

    No time to worry about the gnome, must find obscure Brazilian rain forest language to add!

    "but I wonder how many of their easter eggs are *really* slipped in by programmers without anyone else's knowledge..."

    This is clearly a troll. Mod this twatface down.

    "I know someone who worked for several weeks on an "easter egg" at Intuit that was scheduled form the start and went through the full QA cycle - though she actually got in a fair bit of trouble for trying to sneak an easter egg in the easter egg... :)"

    Sources please. I hate cunts like you who muddy the debate with insignificant and unsupported assertions. If you post a picture of your "friends" pussy then we'll let you off. Otherwise you're nothing but a liar or a queer who can't convince your women friends to pose for porn.

    He does have a point though; when was the last time Microsoft.com was hacked, or down? They run Windows and even IIS for their webserver. They must be doing something right.
