Viruses

Ugh, that new Internet virus (or worm, whatever that is) caused my ISP to die. ;) So right now I am connected through GPRS -- the ISP promised to have issues resolved by tomorrow. Ack. One more reason to not use Windows. ;)

Yeah, these dammed M$SQL-Servers... M$ self could not protect themselfs against it. Thats the only better part of the news. Hoping they will be teared down for weeks (a useless hope /-(. I knew it.).

Shoulda used an Apache server ;)

i'm no MS advocate by anymeans... but there has been a patch for MsSQL Server regarding this issue for months. So talk to your ISP's tech guys for being lazy..... but, the security hole WAS there in the first place.

And to be correct, apache isn't a sql server. so maybe the suggestion should have been "Shoulda used a mySql server :)"

sorry, just hate to see you guys be ignorant to people that will call you out :)
