2 down...

First osirusoft went down due to DDoS. Now proxies.relays.monkeys.com can't sustain the DDoS so they've shut their list down and are waving the white flag (but at least they're not returning a hit for every IP like osirusoft did).

I don't know where this quote comes from, but it seems rather appropriate:

"The inmates are running the assylum"

I wonder how many have to go down before the law enforcement agencies figure out that this is costing businesses millions of dollars.


The quote

Is a title of a book I mentioned on IRC a while ago. The Inmates Are Running the Asylum : Why High Tech Products Drive Us Crazy and How To Restore The Sanity

On another note, reality hapens. When the inmates run the asylum

Which is probably inspired by the quote from the 1960s by David Ogilvy about the world of advertsing, that "There have always been noisy lunatics on the fringe of the advertising business" ['Ogilvy On Advertising']. Which in turn was adapted for the title of The Fun Boy Three's 1981 single "The Lunatics (Have Taken Over The Asylum)"

One of the ordb.org (not relays.ordb.org) NSes is also one of the perl.org NSes and running with most of the perl.org infrastructure. I'm slightly worried about that, but I'd rather not chicken out to the vandals already. :-\
