for my next project. Anyone who really thinks that "it didn't say anything that anybody with a couple years of software engineering experience didn't already know." is in dire need of a recto-cranial inversion. I've worked in the field since 1974 (IBM/360) til today (Mac G4) and I can count on the fingers of one foot the number of designers, programmers, engineers and architects who wouldn't benefit from a bi-annual re-reading of TMMM. Perhaps you believe that you are the 2nd coming of Brian Kernighan, but in my NSH opinion, you are a real danger to any serious software project (as opposed to the 50-500 line "programs" you write in school) John
Let me get this straight: You get whacked by a DDoS, your ISP has signed contracts that he can't afford to uphold, so he dumps you like a hot potato rather than providing the tech support which he is also contractually obligated to, and whines about it publically. We are supposed to just make it OK, and not give him s*it about this because it's not forward looking.
I rather think that if we/. him into the dirt it'll be more likely to teach him a small lesson and then MAYBE the next poor bastard who gets DDoS'd won't have to ALSO find a new home at double the money.
These idiots who sign guaranteed BW contracts without using a lawyer who actually understands the net and its pitfalls get no sympathy from me.
