Two ideas actually.
1) Move to Apple- had to get that one in Graham ;)
2) Someone could devise an absolutely awesome virus that could totally trash unprotected computers. That way all the losers that can't be bothered to have virus protection would be offline for good- problem solved- the virus writers wouldn't have any more targets and we wouldn't have the whole internet slowed down by dumbos |
In reply to Message (8344.1.1) I've got a better idea!
By ray - ray_diaz1@yahoo.com Thu 29/01/04 22:41:18 GMT Why doesn't Microsoft take the $250,000 and fix their crappy software that allows for any bright 14yr old to launch an attack from it's software.
Microsoft has 10's of billions in cash, why don't they spend some of it to repair their broken, insecure systems instead of just talking about it. This is like the auto companies blaming the Crash Test Institute when their cars fair badly in the simulated auto crashes.
If your product is defective, then don't go blaming everybody else when they find your mistakes! Microsoft even goes a step further and then charges you to fix their mistakes, ie, XP service contracts or forcing you to upgrade to fix the faulty software.
Microsoft is NOT your friend, if they had their way, they would force every competitor out of business and charge you even more once they had a complete monopoly. |

If you're reading this and your PC is affected, the DOS (Denial of Service) attack that will probably begin from your PC on 1 Feb will likely slow down your Net connection so much that you'll be unable to visit this forum or any WAM site. Now, there's an incentive to get your finger out! |
In reply to Message (8344) Please people, update your anti-virus software!
By leonmoomin - leonmoomin@ntlworld.com Thu 29/01/04 21:29:42 GMT I am getting about 200-300 viruses to my in-box a day now!
My Norton Internet Security deletes the attachments, but they are still a pain!
