    code red virus

    After reading in the paper about this virus that will slow internet bandwidth at 8pm tonight (7/31/01 or 31/7/01). Of all the sites that this could affect, I sure hope that you get the patch because I definately dont want this site down!!! If you dont have winNT of win2000pro, dont worry. But if you do, get the patch!!!
    retired member. Thanks for everything

    And the other critical thing that nobody is mentioning, ONLY IF YOU ARE RUNNING NT/2000 AND Microsoft Internet Information Server (or whatever IIS stands for).

    Whoops....Typo.

    Although now that I think about it........Furby sounds better than filbert1 or filby don't ya think?
    Have you thought about a nickname change, because Furby would work?
    Think of all the avatar choices with Furby.....

    mySQL crashed, nothing to do with code red. As already mentioned, code red requires Win2k and MS IIS. This site uses (according to John) Linux.

    as you hear knocking at your door *"this is bill gates open up... we will ****ing kill you!!!"
    Government is another way to say better…than…you.
    It’s like ice but no pick, a murder charge that won’t stick,
    it’s like a whole other world where you can smell the food,
    but you can’t touch the silverware.
    Huh, what luck. Fascism you can vote for.
    Humph, isn’t that sweet?
    And we’re all gonna die some day, because that’s the American way

    I checked and it does indeed use Linux

    Why did you need to check?? You thought John was lying?

    If vB/VBW/VBF was on a windows machine we would have killed it several times just from the PR!.......
