Wow. Bad day for you, asdf?
Quoting what you may decide not to stand by once you've realized how embarrassing to you it is, or should be:
Where in their press release does it say anything about a botnet? They specifically say it was internal. You would be owing me actually.
You're right. I already said as much. To make it painfully, pedantically clear:
1) I offered to stake $5 on the claim that the cause of the downtime was a DNS amplification attack delivered via a botnet.
2) Assuming you'd taken me up on the bet, you would implicitly be staking $5 on the cause of the downtime being anything else but that.
3) GoDaddy's PR statement says it was indeed not a DNS amplification attack via botnet, but rather an internal error.
4) This being the case, had there been a bet, you'd have won it, and I would need to know to which address I should send the $5 to pay off my losing bet. Which is what I already said, in the very comment you've quoted above.
"It's five o'clock somewhere" is a line from a song, not an axiom by which to live one's life. I wonder if you have trouble recognizing the difference; if so, may I suggest you investigate Alcoholics Anonymous meetings in your vicinity? They tend to be listed online, I gather.
