It wasn't US (Linux Users)

According to Groklaw (http://www.groklaw.net/index.php) and the story they quote from Businessweek (May 30 ed.) the DDOS attacks on SCO were not the work of a Linux user.
according to the story the DDOS attacks were perpetrated by a member of an on-line hacker mob style gang and not a Linux user.
As part of their investigation of on-line criminals the Secret Service (USA) were able to confirm that it was not a Linux user who created the worm that made the DDOS attacks on SCO. The SCO attack was a smoke screen and millions of Windows Users got the worm and lost billions of dollars.
I guess the guy used Windows; as MS is want to say "Where would you like Windows to take you today?" In this guys case into a lot of people bank accounts.

a crappy week

Health wise very crappy week. I have been having chest pains all week, dibilitating at times. I really hate this.
On the plus side we are hiring 3 new people in my area at work, 1 to work with me so I won't be so over burdened.
Hopefully i will have something positive to say later.
