Oh, the irony:
On the other hand: what difference does it make? Is it easier to track bot herders in IRC rooms? Or communications in encrypted e-mails? I’m not convinced…1
One million bots isn’t that much. Think that some companies have thousands of computers living with near-identical settings - one gets wanked, so do the others. Most residences now have multiple machines, too, in a similar situation. Granted, a lot of these cases mean a limited number of IP addresses are available to the bot-herder - but it’s a failover scenario, one host goes down, the next one can do the herder’s bidding.
fear of the unknown. fear of screwing up life. fear of facing up to death.
fear of dealing with existence on your own

There was a discussion on slashdot regarding open source software on Windows and why it is looked down upon by members of the Linux/BSD OSS communities. Here is my post and… let me know if you decide to comment to that on slashdot so that I might follow-up. Otherwise, rant here if you will :)In other news I apparently got owned here? Two rather obnoxious posts made their way into my blog, selling cheap software… I think there’s need to change some settings =)
