Apparently this hole has been present since 2003. I'm surprised it didn't come to light earlier.

You still host your own servers? Why?

Because our local Internet provider is an unreliable, capped mess with no real competition in the business market? Regulation also plays a part. Our industry is heavily regulated. Hosting our infrastructure is possible, but expensive. Senior management also have unrealistic uptime expectations. All in all, at this time it's more economical to keep our IT infrastructure in house.

My ISP has a 150Gb limit too. When we moved here it was unlimited. Then the ISP proposed a 30Gb monthly limit. After a local campaign, they acted like they were going to go bankrupt after upping it to 100Gb. Now it's 150Gb. I called them when the 100Gb limit came in and asked them how I was meant to use Netflix and the like with 100Gb. their answer was to use their own VOD system. To me, there's the heart of the matter - it's not the cost of transport, it's protecting their own revenue from online competitors. BTW, this ISP (Bend Broadband) is in Mr. Wydens district and he was receptive to complaints about their data caps.

Why does the Daily Mail get so much press on the internet?

You never see slashdot quoting the Weekly World News about the latest exploits of Batboy.

Maybe because it's the most visited newspaper website there is? Not that that legitimizes their reporting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mail_Online

Agreed. The Sky at Night was a huge influence on me in the late 60s and 70s. Probably one of the biggest causes of me going down the science route at university and why I have a collection of 4 telescopes and various pairs of binoculars. Thanks Patrick.
