(...) At the momment, I am getting 100% ping loss to www.brickbay.com. Yesterday, I reported to Dan several times about slowness of the brickbay server. It almost felt like the server was under great load. A traceroute (yesterday) showed some (...) (23 years ago, 18-Sep-01, to lugnet.market.brickshops)

I hope people start billing Microsoft for this crap. I'm microsoft-free, and their (...) (23 years ago, 19-Sep-01, to lugnet.market.brickshops)

Amy & All, (...) Well, we can always jump on the Anti-Microsoft bandwagon (And they should have fixed this as well, don't get me wrong here), but shouldn't there be blame pointed at the people who write these worms as well? Scott S. -- (23 years ago, 19-Sep-01, to lugnet.market.brickshops)

(...) While logged on thru earthlink last night, I turned on the personal web server on the iMac. The log was showing a nimda virii hit on average every 2-3 minutes. This was on a dialup port, which typically would have *no* port 80 server active. I (...) (23 years ago, 19-Sep-01, to lugnet.market.brickshops)

Well, brickbay is still down. And just today I heard on the morning radio about another DOS type virus running around. *SIGH* Don't script kiddies have anything better to do than to proprogate viruses that takes advantage of Microsoft's "EVERYTHING (...)

(...) well, being that you're from NA, that's expected. The worm is trying to be smart, and infect mostly local ips - that way, it's not slowing down the backbone as much, and can spread further and faster. (...) hehe, aye :) I just hope someone (...)

In my opinion, more of the blame should be directed at Microsoft for their lack of planning and security. I am just amazed at the amount of viri spreading lately, and NOT 1 has affected me using RedHat Linux. Given the resources Microsoft has, there (...)
