Are you patched?

Cory Doctorow pokes fun at one of the more prominent victims of last weekend's SQL Slammer incident:
"What kinda idjit runs a MSFT server product without applying all the patches? And worse, what kinda idjit makes that machine available from the public Internet?"

Microsoft, it turns out.

Bit of a downer when the patch needed to fix any servers you have was downloadable from... Microsoft!

{of course, there's a lot of gloating over on slashdot, too)
