* ojwb didn't even realise the metservice served ads01:34
ajmitchit's not something I noticed either01:34
ajmitchmaybe they can have some 'switch to ubuntu' ads on there after this01:35
ojwbseems a little odd for what is (according to that article) a state run site, but OTOH perhaps it's better than higher taxes01:36
mwhudsonmetservice is a SOE isn't it?01:37
mwhudsonso in theory supposed to make it's own money where possible01:37
ojwbmwhudson: that's what the stuff article says01:37
ojwbbut there's a question of what's appropriate01:38
mwhudsonyeh01:38
ojwband while I don't have direct recent experience of serving ads, I doubt it is all that lucrative01:39
ajmitchgetting malware in was probably lucrative for whoever did it01:40
