and, like occupation forces, i return
So I’m standing here next to a thermal poster printer making up signs to warn people about last week’s demon worm, W32/Blaster. It makes me wonder… why do people create virii? Sure, OK, there’s the proof-of-concept argument, but does it really help to prove a concept everyone admits to knowing about and knowing that it works? What’s the deal with virii without payloads? What’s the deal with virii with payloads? What possible reason could someone have for wanting to trash thousands of computers? Sure, maybe the Amish, but then they’d be sinning anyway writing the software.
I’ve rearranged my room again, with much help from Michael. Pictures will be posted shortly. First, I need to move the piles of cardboard adorning my floor.
My new computer case should be in today, which is a nice thing. I’m dying to format my drive and restart. Die, Windows, die. The more I use Michael’s new iBook, the more I can’t wait to get a machine that is both a mac and a notebook. Once you go mac, you never go back. In other news, I might be getting an old G3 tower from AS (junk sale). It should be fun to play with.
