Backdoor in Microsoft Web Software This is news why? Isn't this just assumed at this point? estimated that the problem threatened "almost every Web-hosting provider." [...] This is true how? Oh, right, IIS for Linux and BSD's.
I Don't think it would be wrong for Taco to keep the link active. Joe could Temporarily take down his server, remove the stuff getting slashdotted, write a CGI that sends a small error message and apology to 99/100 requests that have slashdot as the referer. Joe has Lots of Options here. I think that if you can't stop people from doing something (linking, copying a DVD, whatever) in Code (or otherwise technologically) Maybe you shouldd't be trying to stop them.(As opposed to having the courts back up your useless code)
