CEO Indicted for DDOSing Competitors
ruland writes "It turns out there was a reason the hosting company CIT/Foonet was raided in February. SecurityFocus.com reports that the CEO of a web-based satellite T.V. retailer has been indicted for allegedly paying Foonet's administrator to arrange denial of service attacks against his competitors, causing outages as long as two weeks at a time, and $2 million in losses. Now he's skipped out on $750,000 bail, while the five packet monkeys who worked for him are left facing felony charges of their own."
Truth, 7or all Kreskin
"10 out of 10 Terrorists agree - Anybody but Bush in 2004"
And 9 out of 10 became terrorists because of Bush.
me too!
Oh, and regarding your sig: al Qaeda endorsed Bush.
Have you ever heard of "reverse psychology", or are you being willfully naive?
Face it-Bush has taken the fight to the terrorists in Afghanistan, Iraq, the Phillippines, and elsewhere on Earth. Your hero Al Gore would have sat there asking them pretty please don't bomb us anymore we'll give you lots of recycled paper and vegan food if you stop trying to kill and convert us!
The terrorists want Kerry in office, because he'll simply sit there with his thumb up his self-aggrandizing ass while our boys get killed by terrorists, stuck there because he has no plan for fighting evil.
I bet you want to blame all of this on Israel. Go ahead--every lefty like you secretly hates Jews, and secretly loathes the fact that they have the ONLY democracy in the Middle East. The Arabs in Iraq have shown that they can't put shit together without shooting people and installing dictators. Yet, you idiots talk about "freedom for Palestine", when Terrorfat or someone from Islamic Jihad would take control ten minutes later and send a thousand young kids to blow themselves up in Israel.
Bush is right. You are wrong. Deal.
All too often employees just do what they're told, and aren't expected to be well enough versed in the law to know when they're supposed to tell their employer "no".
Oh, come on! Even the links you provide show that Randy Weaver and David Koresh aren't even close to being in the same class of 'bad guys'. At worst, Randy Weaver was guilty of selling a handful of sawed off shotguns that may or may not have been illegal to an undercover agent. Other than that, he was just a nut who wanted to be left alone. Granted, he made a LOT of mistakes in dealing with his legal woes. Even so, he apparently never attacked anyone until he was attacked. For that, he lost his wife and son to deliberate action by Federal agents.
David Koresh, OTOH, probably participated in a deliberate act of murder to gain control of a church, raped children as young as 12, and convinced over one hundred people to follow him into almost certain death in a hopeless standoff with the Feds. His actions helped to contribute to the death of dozens of kids.
Randy always struck me as someone who deserved pity more than hatred. I never considered Koresh as anything but an evil man.
The only thing that was worse than Koresh was the way that the Feds bungled his arrest. Why the hell didn't they just pick him up in town? It's not like they didn't know what his routine was.
