Maybe it's because I just personally identify with the founders of github (i.e. entrepreneurial sw engineers), but I'm starting to get mad at whoever keeps doing this. Here's hoping that with all the smart people this is affecting, the people responsible will be tracked down and exposed.

may whoever is doing this be doomed to use SVN the rest of their lives ...

SVN's too good for 'em.. let them use Visual Source Safe forever.

[pmichaud]

You monster.

Visual Source Safe is too good for 'em.. may they be doomed to emailing .patch files forever.

[alaaibrahim]

Emailing .patch files is better than VSS :-)

May they be doomed to get a call like I did some 20 years ago from a large software company I'd consulted for:

"Mike, remember that project you did for us last year? Yeah, we've been shipping it with our product for a while - working great, thanks! Say... I don't suppose you might happen to still have a copy of the source code anywhere? I know, you probably deleted it after the project was over, but you were always so good about making backups - do you suppose you could rummage through your old backup tapes and see if there's anything? No, it's nothing like that! Well, we seem to have lost all our copies of the source and really hope you could help us out."

True story.

Forget svn ... May they be doomed to use RCS for the rest of their days ...

[feisuzhu]

Forget about version control, may them be using pen drives to copy code around for the rest of their days...

You ice baby! Ice cold!

From what I've seen it's usually a rational business or policy decision. And your adversaries are in, or acting through, states with a weak rule of law. "Exposing" these actors is impossible/useless until you address that.

If you want to make a service worth a damn to the world, you should expect regular DDOS.
