Early morning tech news: High speed internet access grew 158 percent in 2000 to nearly 7.1 million homes, according to an FCC report; the estimated costs of the PC-worm Code Red II is more than $2 billion; Iomega is cutting 1,250 jobs and taking a restructuring charge of up to $65 million next quarter in a move to achieve profitability.

    er, heh...

    wtf is Code Red? my DSL modem lights have not shown any increased activity whatsoever and my firewall log shows NO access attempts in the past several days... some people just live right, I guess, and have a decent ISP like Earthlink... others use crappy broadband ISP's like RoadRunner and @Home and Qwest...

    Lucky

    My @Home cable modem was going nuts for about a week. 24hrs a day the thing would blink constantly. Had to call tech support just to give them trouble. That was fun.

    Iomega

    Iomega are shooting themselves in the foot. The Titanium Powerbook has sold a record number of units, there are countless users of older PowerBooks, and Iomega refuses to make a driver that will allow use of the Pocket Zip PC Card Drive - their best product for laptops - in the internal Cardbus slot. All it takes is a driver, and they don't think it's important...

    Meanwhile, the Peerless drive system is so overpriced and misconceived that I can't help but think that management is somehow sabotaging the company in the hopes that someone will buy the beleaguered company, and lay them all off with a big fat severance.

    Who sells the LEAST compatible CD-RW drives on the planet? Iomega. Who still has not really solved the "Click of death"? Iomega. Whose Zip disks are now 33-65 times obsolete because everyone and their grandmother owns a CD-R? Iomega. Who is in deep s***? Iomega.

    I bought Iomega stock in anticipation of the Zip drive, at $7 a share, and sold at $49. Now I wouldn't even buy the stock for a penny. The company is dead.

    Code Red

    I have had thousands of Code Red and Code Red 2 exploit attempts on my server (a few hundred Code Red, a few thousand Code Red 2). It isn't an issue. It is actually kind of useful since my log files now have the IP addresses of thousands of compromised IIS machines that now have a back door installed.

    IIS is useless. If people used something good (Apache, let's say) we wouldn't have this problem.

    Damn M$ loving morons!

    Code Red

    My own OS X machine has been getting about 600 hits a day due to the stupid code red nonsense.

    I have a lovely access_log that is miles long with IP addresses, dates and times of access with the distinctive target payload attempt.

    See dshield.org on how you can help. Or you can be evil and go into those compromised machines if you really must.

    Re: Iomega

    Yeah they are stupid. I want drivers so I can use the PocketZip PCMCIA card directly in my Wallstreet laptop rather than have to use the USB solution. Dumb idiots need to realize graphics people would love to use some thing like that especially once they are at 100MB size in that small form factor.

    Idiots manufactured their own demise.

    Foot the bill

    Are you really that unintelligent beserk to think just peecee users will be footing the bill?

    Everyone regardless of the type of computer or even whether they were effected or not can end up footing the bill. If Ebay's servers were affected yeah you foot the bill if you buy or sell on ebay. If Target.com's servers were affected you foot the bill you buy from their stores. If the gas station servers were effected you foot it as well.
