Daren, some hapless miscreants got bloody mad their iPlayer wouldn't work in Terroristland and whupped out a nasty DDOS on the BBC this morning! Incorrigible, uncouth and clearly a case of rather bad cooties needing a topical ointment.

Let's be careful out there.

Actual English English.

Translation to American: The BBC website was down for some time overnight Dec. 31 due to a Distributed Denial Of Service attack (DDOS).

That is when somebody or a bunch of somebodies (and usually their hacked army of infected bot computers worldwide) get together and try to flood a server with so many requests it cannot function and service is disrupted.

A SERVER HACK ATTACK, if you would. Let Jer explain it to you, it's a b---- for IT folks and extremely important.

I think they were back in control and partying again by 2 am.

I love how to the point the Guardian is, even telling us one of the article links is to a ten month old story. BRAVO

Cool....

Not a commercial, but still very "cool":

Thankfully Steven, the good Colonel does not know what I'm thinking.

This makes me even more curious....

Where the bloody hell IS it available? Has the milk curdled at Channel 4?

 

[Dazen1]

I have inadvertently added some mystery and intrigue with that link.

I have gone from Colonel Sanders to Colonel Mustard.
