    The Iranian hackers should first learn English. I was banging my head on the table reading that grammatically incorrect junk.

    I didn't know they had computers in Iran. Maybe they only use them for hacking, and not for checking up on news, or reading about the diffrences between Government Agencies and Operating Systems.

    Just goes to show you that any jackass can type "./the_great_script" and replace a home page. More evident that Iran has its fair share of jackasses like the rest of the world.

    People always try to blame the software right away but usually it's poor administration.

    Isn't this the same flaw Windows has?

    If it was a website about Linux, it probably wouldn't even need to be hacked to make the front page of /. if it was running Windows

    If a site running Windows Server 2003 was hacked, would it make the front page of /.?

    No, it wouldn't. People would get pissed about having to dig through 100000 stories of "Yet another cheesy Windows server hacked" until they found a real story.

  13. Maybe they were just tired of the poor performance by alhaz · · Score: 4, Funny

    The OpenSuSE server has been sucking wind for weeks, and i know for a fact that trouble tickets have been submitted about it within Novell.

    Maybe they were just trying to lend a hand with the administration . . . .
