    How many years did it take for viable evidence that smoking kills? Also he did not state it was dangerous because you cannot prove it is dangerous, just that you are naive doe thinking it is not dangerous solely on there not having been any visible side effects.

    Oh look another AC toll who cannot post a logical comment so therefore has to resort to ad homenims. So I guess that means you do believe that the /. editors should rewrite the article based on your own personal biases. You are correct, it is not 3 companies ganging up on Google, it is a crap load of companies ganging up on Google. I have no problems with any company steamrolling smaller less efficiant companies, as long as they are not breaking the law. MS broke the law to steam roll those companies, Google is not. Microsoft tied IE to the OS, Google has not tied maps to the OS. BTW I used to work for Microsoft, I just happen to also have knowledge of logic

    No, it just invalidates the first part of your point, not the entire point.. But than again this is a site that needs to make money to live, so driving traffic is not necessarily a bad thing.

    So in other words, the only evidence you will take is for him to tell you himself, or maybe them putting it on their website would work for you as well.... Since it was a quoted message you can assume that it was his words. The location and type of message does not matter. At some point you have to either trust that the journalist was professional, or not, up to you.

    So where is the evidence that Cyberbunker has anything to do with this?

    I appreciate the things the Spamhaus people do, but they don't exactly have a spotless record when it comes to accurately pointing fingers.

    Did you read the article? If you did you would have spotted this:

    Questioned about the attacks, Sven Olaf Kamphuis, an Internet activist who said he was a spokesman for the attackers, said in an online message that, “We are aware that this is one of the largest DDoS attacks the world had publicly seen.” Mr. Kamphuis said Cyberbunker was retaliating against Spamhaus for “abusing their influence.” “Nobody ever deputized Spamhaus to determine what goes and does not go on the Internet,” Mr. Kamphuis said. “They worked themselves into that position by pretending to fight spam.”

    Why should google payoff a company without proof it infringes, or do you believe everything you read and when someone says it is infringed it has to be infringed. As for why they are doing it now, it is because it becomes harder to submarine a standard if you are part of the process, or a practicing entity.
