cant believe they're down, you'd think they'd have about 100 backup servers connected to to at least a few different ISP backbones

Lane · 08-14-2003, 11:33 PM

hotmail and msn are up though

sacX · 08-14-2003, 11:37 PM

works for me.

Rochard · 08-14-2003, 11:40 PM

I just called Bill on his cell. He told me to go fuck myself.

they were braced, like braced in a plane seat waiting for it to crash, yes.

the world needs more examples of how much microsoft sucks. then more people will use linux. then more developers will write new games for linux, and i'll be able to get rid of windows for good, because games is the only thing windows has going for it IMHO.

hm. are you sure YOU aren't the one missing the point? *WHY* is the site down? *WHY* is the main website of a billion dollar corporation who MAKES operating systems and wishes to eventually dominate the current backbone of the internet (UNIX) down for even 5 minutes, let alone the time it has been down today?

Ok, look at it this way: You meet a chick with bad oral hygene...just imagine what it's like down between her legs.

Stop crying. This isn't a Microsoft sucks thing, I just don't see why anyone would care that their site is down. It's not like it won't be up and running again. It's non-news, a non-event. Again, big fucking deal.

Yeah, right. I think we both know what url was coming next. I like to think of this as what our current administration calls "a preemptive strike".

Power Stations are getting even with Microsoft....

Snowone · 08-15-2003, 12:41 AM

Microsoft is like TV Evangelists...

Do as I say, not as I do.

Case 1:

Microsoft urged customers to fix a vulnerability in the SQL Server 2000 software, but it apparently hadn't taken its own advice.

Case 2:

Proving again that it doesn't practice what it preaches, Microsoft on Thursday confirmed that the Code Red worm infected servers used for its Hotmail Web-based e-mail service. This isn't the first time that Microsoft has neglected to install its own security patch.

Case 3:

Microsoft made itself vulnerable to attacks and outages by setting up its four DNS servers on one subnet.

Those are like 3-4 years old.

lEricPl · 08-15-2003, 01:21 AM

Also,

Anyone else notice that is may not be just MS?

www.paypal.com is down.

www.foxnews.com was down for a while.

I'm sure there are many others.

Snowone · 08-15-2003, 01:25 AM

Case 1 is from this year.

(January 27, 2003, 4:27 PM PT )

Case 2 is 2 years old.

Case 3 is 2.5 years old.

Looks like a repeating pattern...

Snowone · 08-15-2003, 01:27 AM

paypal has a scheduled maintenence window tonight/morning.

CDSmith · 08-15-2003, 01:29 AM

Twistyneck is right on one point though. I really only care when *MY* sites are down (or those owned by people I like, or those of my larger trades).

microsoft.com can suck my ass.

It's still lame.

Do you want to oust one super power and replace it with another?

Lame Lame Lame

Tell me...when Billions of stupid home users are using a Linux OS on their desktop....do you really think there won't be just as many virii/hacks/worms/problems as there are now?

MS is just the one to attack right now because so many people use Windows on their desktop.

There is no maintenence message.

I get a DNS error.

We can't find "www.paypal.com"

In fact, any company like MS (who is happy to sell you their shit for $3k+ per every few years, then turn around and charge you $35 for a lousy tech support call) can suck my ass.

There is plently of free support at microsoft.com

I don't give a shit about billions of people. Don't you get it? I care about the one call I made to them last year, after my system crashed and I had to reformat and reinstall Windows. I ran into a small glitch in the registration process, which held me up for 4 hours the first night on the phone with my warranty tech support guy, and an extra 5 hours the next day while on the phone with HP, then MS, then back to HP, both of whom wanted $35 before they would fucking help me.

It was a *Windows glitch*, not a CDSmith glitch.

I finally spoke with a techie at the computer service desk over at Future Shop of all places, and he told me how to get past that Windows glitch in about 8 seconds.... and charged me fuck all. Good thing I told MS and Hewlett-Packard to shove their $35 fee where the sun don't shine.

Yeah, somebody needs to get real.

cash69 · 08-15-2003, 02:05 AM

they are probably doing alot of updates right now.. and probably spent millions on more servers.. on saturday that virus is going to start attacking their sites.. i think on cnn it said it would be about 2 - 3 million computers attacking their site.. i wonder if they can stay up thru that.. if you update 1 computer they gotta go thru and update all 500 other one's.. i think they might go down for a week

So you hate HP too?

Did you try sending an Email to MS? Did you try searching the MS site? Did you try the support groups? Ahhh. I'm sure the techie at the computer service desk did

Do you think he paid $35 to fix that 'simple' problem? I doubt it.

What was this small glitch that MS was at fault for?

u haven't noticed that windows has another major security hole in it that is getting majorly exploited?

what the hell is their problem? they've got 8000+ of the brightest and $40billion+ in cash yet they still can't build secure products.

Reactive patches aren't going to fix their problems.
