These jerk offs shouldn't be hailed as heroes or paid for what they do. They are destructive idiots who should be jailed and removed from the human gene pool. They contribute NOTHING to Information Technology and should be treated as the common criminals that they are.

I hope he gets jailed and that his ass bleeds for the rest of his life.

It's a neverending spiral. The Good Guys make something neat, the bad guys want to f**k with it, then the good guys patch it, bad guys break it again. It will never end.

Basically, if you don't like viruses, you a Mac or Linux. If you don't want to be hacked/have viruses, use a mac (but then you won't be able to do anything anyway)

So here's a cheat sheet for those that are confused (Base-Installs):

Windows - Semi-Secure, Virus Ridden - Tons of software/support
Linux - Very Unsecure, No real probs with viruses, - Tons of Free! software, support's a bitch...but there's a lot out there for people w/ time
Mac - Secure, no virus probs, very little software/support. Hey, when you're only 8% of the market share, whaddya gunna do?

they offers $250 000 for information who can help them capture the creators of the first Blaster (or MSBlast) and the first SoBig.. they just have too much money..

 

btw, everybody around here had Blaster, was this a common problem all over the world?
