#1 We're under attack again, folks, so pardons if things are slow for a while.

#2 Well, at least y'all got the important things - like the RD-SC&T-P.

#4 It's not a spambot attack, it's a denial-of-service attack, specifically a synflood. Someone doesn't like what Rantburg says, so they're trying to kill it.

#6 Keep up the good work guys.

And... um.... that is a bow or a thumb or something other than what it looks like on her... isn't it?

#8 Given the determination and continuous nature of the attack, you certainly have offended someone..... and they clearly needed to be offended since they object to our collective right to see news and voice our opinions. So either they are KosKids or outraged mooselimbs, but either way, remember, you gain honor by the nature of your enemies!

#9 Fred can comment more, but at least for a while the attacks were coming via the Persian Gulf. We have a regular Saudi commenter who's not happy with us but given the international flavor of hackers and botnets for rent, it's hard to say who in particular has his panties in a wad.

Could even be a 'bama supporter.

#10 I didn't know that 'bama supporters wore panties. :-)

#11 Only the ones who plan on fainting in public, gorb.

We don't pee on our fingers either. (Old Joke)

#13 Having perused a picture of Bessie in her birthday suit, that's absolutely a bow or something.
