    Is officially under construction. Once a few of these get owned it will be quick before they're all compromised.

    I agree. I mean, Linux runs the majority of web servers. Just look at THAT giant botnet. Best use MS IIS server, on Surface RT -- No one's doing that so it's far safer.

    So put your server at NSA then, like everyone else. Just don't come complaining when you get shot in the head for emailing the wrong person.

    The Government doesn't need a reason; they shoot first and rationalize later. Police especially enjoy murdering car crash victims and evading justice. God bless America!
