According to the article I read, it took around four hours to fix it. (7 am to 11 am). About 30 minutes after the problme occurred, they began routing flights manually, using 10 minute delays between each aircraft.
The problem is not that so many people didn't patch SQL server proper, but that SQL desktop edition (MSDE) was included and running on so many other products. I am a pretty good admin (I think) and I would have had my SQL servers patched (and firewalled properly), but I can almost guarantee that in an organization of any decent size, MSDE would have been running unpatched somewhere, on someone's desktop and I wouldn't have known it.
Did you know all the product that use MSDE? Do you now?
In America we call that bait and switch. And it is illegal. And changing your email adress is a PITA. If they did indeed sell it as "unlimited" (I do not know for sure), then they should be held to that level for existing customers who signed up for that plan.
While I don't own a Saturn, the sales pitch I w3as demonstrated when car shopping had them hit the side of the car with an object, simulating a door ding or shopping cart collision. The Saturn, being plastic, didn't get a dent, the object just "bounced off". Hence, I was lead to believe you wouldn't get a door ding with a Saturn. More deceptive marketing, I guess, since your real world experience is much different.
If anyone doubts Linux' inroads into the corporate environment, just read today's release from HP. HP now says they have 2 BILLION in annual revenue attribuatable to Linux.

No, that is YOUR responsibility, not the ISP's. If you can't/won't/don't know how to secure your network/machine then the ISP should detect and inform you of the problem and DENY YOU ACCESS until you get your butt in order.
If you can't/won't/don't know how to secure yourself, you have lost the privlege of being part of this internet "thingy".
I think you should buy a calculator with your refund.

In the article, they talk about how a typical Windows admin can handle 10-15 boxes (sounds reasonable). But then they quote somebody who says his Linux/BSD/Solaris admins can handle 1,000 boxes. A thousands? This seems like an incredibly high number.
Can anyone out there back this up? Can you guys really admin a *thousand* servers? Pointers would be welcome on how this is done...is it all perl/shell scripting?

Pretty darn clear.
That's like Microsoft providing a web page showing which IIS servers are still affected by code red and showing their IP's.
Given how well they did with patching their network over Slammer, I think the list would start with:
127.0.0.1

Oh-Dee-Three-Pee-Er A nice catchy name, conjuring up lovely imagines of urination. What's wrong with that?
