CK claims that servers have been pernicious to his well-being

I was unable to update my web-site all week due to server problems. imagine what it's like trying to get AmericaOnLine (HA!) to admit that they have a bad server. ("You stupid fool... clean out your cache... reinstall your aol adapter... delete ALL your temporary files, especiall those darnn cookies")
i'm mad as hell and i'm not going to take it any moreDSL or broadband cable??

What makes everyone think it was an attack?


I guess that DDoSs have been on my mind recently after a security-related forum that I frequent was hit by several of them over the last few weeks.

Well, I suggest that people take a peek at the "A Week in the Life of a Help Desk Operator" on your i-drive for some other possibilities ...

...They were (up until yesterday ) the bane of my existence. They are still mine!

CK - Does this mean your spirit begins its travels? Your soul is no longer owed to the company store? You bashed your alarm clock with a sledge hammer this morning?

One of my favorite things servers do is "run out of space".

DDoS = distributed denial of service.
Thank you Sparteye.

It is an internet attack on a website
People do this on purpose?
Why?

Why do people hunt anymore? It's for the challenge of the "sport".

I'm now gainfully unemployed ... we head south to get used to English winters later this week!
