No biggie Doohickey. Google seems like it is being hammered bad today. Wonder if this attack is IPO related.

Just before 9/11 there was a strong worm attack

An interesting thought just occurred to me. Internet traffic is way up; monitoring that traffic for the appropriate "chatter" very well might be harder under these conditions. Hmmmmmm.

GOOGLE runs LINUX

I thought only Microsoft could catch a virus -- NEVER LINUX nor a MAC!

The nameservers used to resolve google.com are poisoned (but only from certain ip addresses):

Do a whois lookup on google.com. You may get back bogus info. If your computer gets back bogus info, it will have problems connecting to google.com.

If a nameserver has bogus info, then whether the site runs *BSD, Linux, MS-Window, IRIX, Solaris, OS/2, whatever, makes absolutely no difference. It's as if you got a road map with bogus info: you won't be able to reach your destination.

This is not a Linux vs. MS question.

Ignore my post. It doesn't apply to the current MyDoom.

>>The problems were occurring just as Google set the price range--$108 to $135 per share-


Google is starting to look like it has a left wing extremist bias.

It seems to prefer to serve up Kerry-friendly pages and stories, and Bush-bashing pages and stories.

If that's true, I wouldn't give $1.98 per share for the stock!
