I felt the effects of that virus also, the usps online shipping software I use was down today because of it and I had to handwrite over 40 packages *LOL* took hours instead of 30 minutes but hey, have to go back to the old school every once in awhile or we will forget how :D

Asus's download page on their global server was effected too i think...

lots of stuff are slow today

and this matter is making news big time on TV, radio, newspaper, internet and all other media!

there were a few things that actually happened yesterday..

firstly was the SQL server exploit.. which is months old, and a patch has been out for months, its just tards who use MS software (which is bad enough) who don't patch their boxes

secondly was a large scale DDoS attack, which brought UUNet (one of the world's major internet backbones) as well as other major backbones, which was a result of the above

slashdot had abit of coverage on this, even BBC had a story on it (on their site at least)

but alas.. its basically all over now.. and we can all get back to our pr0n :D

not yet for me...
my comp had a bad disk sector so i had to format it
and now im waiting for my friend's winxp pro sp1 corporate key :lol:

then porn for me once everything is done! :biggrin:

i dont need to wait at all i get windows xp and stuff for 20$ or less the .net framework is 200$ for me :)

+1 Reason why I'm against M$SQL.

That and price, efficiency, speed, portability
