For those who haven't seen:

Not a big surprise, in fact it was kind of expected...but still sucks. I know this was brought up in another thread, but here is some speculation for you :):

Rackshack could pull a Cogent and buy Interliant, minus the debt, making them instantly a publicly traded company...that would be kind of cool, their next promotion could be: Buy a server, get 10 shares of stock :).

in other Worldcom news I saw on Nightly Business Report they might have another 2 billion hidden away in mistakes that could be soon coming out into the light - and before they've even touched the books on 1999. Amazing

Well I always hide my billion dollar mistakes in my bottom drawer under Linux Format mag as no-one ever looks there. :)

How come I have the depressing feeling that none with a Linux mag in their bottom drawer will ever have billion dollars to hide? :bawling:

How come Interliant felt the need to copy Dell Host's data center images (well, it might have gone the other way around, but I doubt it).....
