wired has a nice explanation of how sql slammer brought down the web a couple of months ago complete with assembly code. surprisingly, you can read it before the print issue comes out! newayz, i remember i wanted to get some money from an atm that day but was surprised to find that all 3 atms at the bank were out of order. it’s the first time that i can really think of where significant internet events intersected with my “real life”.
from a review of 2 fast 2 furious:
“And in the grand tradition of politically correct summer “event” movies, the two actors (one plays an ex-cop, the other an ex-con) are accessorized with an Asian driver, a Latino driver, and so on, as well as the requisite rapper, Ludacris.”
that’s just about as politically correct as i am.
