Schestowitz was warned, many times in fact and chose to ignore it.
Why?
Because Roy Schestowitz is a classic narcissit and can't conceive of anyone
being smarter than he is.

Boy, was he wrong...
His Linux based site got totally trashed....

The only sad part is all the innocent people who got infected because of
his stupidity.

As for Ubuntu, what can you expect?
They can't even seem to keep that thing running without freezing.

Basement ware at it's finest....
