«Malware, short for malicious software, is software used to disrupt computer operation, gather sensitive information, or gain access to private computer systems.» There's a reason why I wrote malware rather than virus. Malware doesn't have to have any way of spreading by itself. Let me make you a simile. Back in the 1990s, we had the ping of death which for a while reliably crashed Windows machines that were exposed to it. Do you think www.debian.org should have sent out such packets to any hosts that accessed the web site? It's basically the same thing you're doing: you're using Debian infrastructure to perform a denial of service attack on people who use other platforms. > > you're not even apologising for it.

In my culture, what you're doing is on the same level as moving chairs around when you're with blind people and laugh when they fall over because they're sitting down on a chair that is no longer there. In my culture, that is called being a dick. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
