7/17    I just found out about this after doing some research on my own.
        Several hours after http://ebay.com went down Microsoft released a
        quite lengthy report attributing the failure to Sun Microsystem's
        stupidity claiming things like "system boards are not hot-swapable
        under Suns".  But doing a telnet into ebay I found this:

        # telnet http://www.ebay.com http
        Trying 216.32.120.133...
        Connected to http://pages.ebay.com.

        does anyone find it odd that Microsoft is criticizing ebay who is
        running their own web server?

        \_ Larry Ellison is a secret Tea Party supporter.
           Most of this article is bunk, btw. Boy are the Republicans
           getting desperate.
            \_ Umm, no.  Larry Ellison is a not so secret fascist.
