As was discussed on the RH list, I do have to say that this was a well
planned attack, and being that it actually brought out the attention of
the US Secretary of Defense - AND brought Microsoft's LACK of security
further into the public's eye (think of the timing...what great timing)
this shows the public that there are even more reasons for not putting
their trust and their data into the hands of a monopolistic megalomaniac
company like M$.

My system never skipped a beat; my ISP didn't skip a beat (and they have
MySQL servers in their backend and linux boxes on their front ends)...

Whoever is playing this out (and it has to have something to do with the
fact that Linux World Expo is going on and Microsoft SHOWED UP
there...dig that) - I think it's all aimed at just chucking mud on M$'s
face...which ain't gonna hurt our community (linux et. al.)

        They're not much bigger than two meters.
