Look, not everybody instantly recognizes the names of every random computer program in existence. There's millions of 'em out there, and, especially for this one with its generic and not-very-descriptive name, it's good to provide some context. Sure, you might be a Microsoft Windows expert, but not everyone here is, y'know? How would you like it if there were a story about something called "Linux" without explaining what that was?

There are hundreds of DDoS attacks, including something as trivial as a potassium injection attack.

Here's one of the permanent security bulletins to put on that static link description: Do NOT open any attachments in Outlook, at all. I mean, this is becoming one of the basic rules like, "Don't touch the stove, little Jimmy.. HOT! Very hot."

This runs through my mind each time another friend of mine replaces his dead Windows box with another. I believe Windows users like to be hit.

I prefer the DDoS: hot female co-workers wearing low-cut V-neck sweaters.

While I know it works great for Debian, I thought I'd try a little experiment upgrading FC2 to FC3 using apt-get. It almost worked..
In other news, I just finished installing FC3 from scratch. Doh!
