    At a minimum, you kill the accounts, and move on. You don't start taking 3rd parties down because you can't be bothered to secure your own site.

    I go by Scott, not William. William is either my oldest Son, or my dad, take your pick.

    And, yes - I WILL be moving, not only LRSEhosting, but all of my domains off of GoDaddy as soon as I can pick a worthwhile replacement.

    Do feel free to either suggest something useful, like a replacement registrar, or failing that, shut the fuck up.

    No, I'd fire my bank, and get one that wasn't retarded.

    Please let me know if you figure out a way to do the same to GoDaddy and MySpace. Actually, never mind, since you don't understand the basic concepts involved, you're not likely to provide anything useful on that topic either.

    It's true I'm leaving Novell, but why do you think this means I'm not going to be on any Samba lists ? I'm joining Google on 2nd Jan, and believe me when I tell you they're *very* interested in me spending all my time on Samba :-) :-).

    As Herb once said to me, "Same job, different office" :-) :-).

    Who comes up with this stuff? Someone's been reading a bit too much Asimov.

I'm betting that no robot is ever put together in such a way that this will be an issue.

    That is the first, intelligent and well reasoned response I've seen yet. You make some very good points.

    However, I think there is a fundamental difference between SCO and Novell. SCO was worthless from the word go. Novell was, and could again be, a good partner. It's going to be necessary to wack them with a clue stick repeatedly until they wake up.

    Fair is fair, after all. More importantly, I want to see them enforce the spirit of the agreement - treat them the SAME as you would anyone who violates the GPL.
