The heartland turned vicious this week when an Oklahoma town threatened to call in the FBI because its web site was hacked by Linux maker Cent OS. Problem is CentOS didn't hack Tuttle's web site at all. The city's hosting provider had simply botched a web server. This tale kicked off yesterday when Tuttle's city manager Jerry Taylor fired off an angry message to the CentOS staff. Taylor had popped onto the city's web site and found the standard Apache server configuration boilerplate that appears with a new web server installation. Taylor seemed to confuse this with a potential hack attack on the bustling town's IT infrastructure.

can we please not just copy stories from the register?
We? There is no we. I will continue to post whatever seems suited. El Reg and the Inq may not be to everyone's liking due to their senses of humour, but i.e. the Sun Rock I/II stories have shown that they are pretty much reliable-- if you ignore the obvious humerous articles they post in between.
Please stop these nonsense comments. If you have a problem with a site linked to, just don't read the damn article (at the bottom of your browser you can see a link's destination on mouseover, in case you didn't know). Is it really that hard?
i already read this yesterday...
So, forgive my ignorance, but because you read it yesterday... I shouldn't report on it today. Mmmm, now that's what I call wrong logic.
