Uhm, I hate to disappoint you, but the site looks fairly intact to me. I have reports from other people as well. The only thing that seems to be altered is the "We will scam you" on the homepage. There's no trace of Goatse on that site to be found (from this side of the pond).
If you had read the thread from the beginning, you might have noticed this reaction. Also the contents of the about- and contact-pages have been altered.
BTW, as you are implying, this does not necissarily mean that one of the Slashdot-readers is responsible.
Most importantly: carefully document the origin of every screw you remove. I find it helpful to keep the screws from different disassembly steps separate, so that a sanity check can be done for each step of reassembly.
When I disassembled my iBook 2001 for replacing the harddisk, I used a large piece of cardboard underneath it. On this cardboard, I used doublesided tape and wrote the locationname of every part next to the tape and gave it an incrementing number. Like this I had all parts documented, and only needed to put back all screws in reverse order. Worked perfectly!
Of course these dogs will run on an altered Microsoft Windows CE operating system. Therefore, the number of KIA's in the next major conflict might increase by 300 percent.
I dunno exactly which satellites are currently orbiting Mars, but is it possible for them to photograph the area where Beagle2 (and all the other lost spacecrafts) might have landed or crashed ? And if so, will it be visible on those images?
Correct me if I am wrong, but could this mean that Yellow Dog Linux 3.01 (YDL) is also affected? I got several 404-errors when running apt-get update, hours before I read this message.
I wonder if a new version of VPC will ever see daylight. VPC was an excellent product on the Mac-platform, but so were the products of Bungie. The Mac-version of HALO was almost ready for launch, but after Microsoft bought out Bungie, HALO for Mac never saw daylight in favor of an Xbox- and Windows-release.
For me it's a 4 out of 5 rating. The single star got lost as I did an update on a 14" iBook2 G3 600Mhz with Mac OS X v10.2.8 on it. After the update, Aqua froze on me. The only way to get rid of it was hitting Command-Option-Esc key-combination, and let Finder do a restart.
But after that, things went smooth. My iBook feels like reborn again !
Looks like the site is getting/.-ed. So in case it's down, here's the article:
Spammers Release Virus to Attack Spamhaus.org
A new virus released by spammers on Saturday 1st November is infecting computers worldwide, and this time the purpose of the virus is to attack www.Spamhaus.org. The W32.Mimail.D virus is the latest in a string of viruses, each one released by spammers for the purpose of creating a vast worldwide zombie network of spam-sending machines and building an attack network consisting of hundreds of thousands of virus-infected zombie machines with which the spammers then attack anti-spam organizations.
W32.Mimail.D is designed to infect computers worldwide causing them to each begin making overwhelming amounts of bogus requests to Spamhaus.org's web server, www.spamhaus.org, and also attacks the web servers of www.spamcop.net and www.spews.org.
Spamhaus began coming under massive distributed Denial of Service (dDoS) attacks in July 2003, soon after the release of the SoBig.E virus and the Fizzer virus (W32.HLLW.Fizzer). In June Spamhaus stated that spammers had now moved from simple spamming through open proxies to actually manufacturing and sending out viruses to create a network of spam proxies, infecting hundreds of thousands of mainly home-user machines on broadband (ADSL) lines.
Fizzer (W32.Fizzer-A) in particular is a very wide-spread worm which spreads by emailing itself to contacts in Microsoft Outlook and Windows address books. The purpose of Fizzer is to install a minature web server and a DoS attack tool, specifically for attacking anti-spam organizations. In August and September 4 anti-spam systems were forced into closure under overwhelming dDoS attacks that hit them for weeks at a time.
Spamhaus itself was subjected to the same intense dDoS attacks for 3 months but survived thanks to its large distributed network capable of absorbing the attacks. Still, expecting more attacks, and with still no intervention by Law Enforcement, in mid September we moved the Spamhaus web site behind an anti-dDoS device known as iSecure supplied by Melior CyberWarefare Defence (www.ddos.com) and can therefore now withstand the waves of dDoS attacks.
Slashdot Mirror
Aside of the odd colors, I found this one of the most interesting anomalies in the pictures so far.

I linked to the page on purpose, and what I got was this:
Do not order from this company.
1) they spam
2)see a doctor--they prescribe drugs that you can get from a local pharmacists
3) they can't even secure their lousy web server.
How more insecure can it get....
Perhaps you forgot whatever happened to the person that invented these flying bombs. Was he ever convicted for warcrimes? No, it was far worse.
BTW, as you are implying, this does not necissarily mean that one of the Slashdot-readers is responsible.
Good to hear that some people have positive experiences with Apple support. Mine are far worse.
It was meant as a joke.. why was this modded as being troll? Odd...
How smart of you to publish his emailaddress on /. ... Knowing the /.-effect, he will definately be thankful for that ;-)

Oh wait.. Slashdot... women...
ADSL/ 1MBit/320KB /FUP/staticIP costs me Eur 53/month. The 1MBit downetram will be double januari 15th, without a pricechange.
Forgot to say that I was talking about "Friendly fire KIA's"... %-(
Of course these dogs will run on an altered Microsoft Windows CE operating system. Therefore, the number of KIA's in the next major conflict might increase by 300 percent.
Anyone? TIA!
It's the people who actually pay spammers, that should be shot on sight.
Click on it !
I love to click on a link :-)

Let's hope M$ won't let VPC die a silent death.
He probably is another Apple employee... :-)
But after that, things went smooth. My iBook feels like reborn again !
Hey, "cool down" man... ;-)
It's called spyware, and yes, it's crap...
