What a strange world we live in. Taliban John gets only 20 years for taking up arms against his country, but kids who make a monkey out of a tech business should get the death penalty? Hmmmm.

I wasn't the judge who sentenced a traitor to 20 years. Were it my choice, he'd be a prime candidate for a necktie party.

As for making a monkey out of a tech busines:

a) This virus also attacks PC's. link.

b) Economic damage done by viruses is a bit more serious than that.

Economic damage done by viruses is a bit more serious than that.

Can't say I buy that claim. Take a look at any press on "losses" from viruses, trojans and worms. Then compare those figures with the quarterly and annual statements to stockholders of those businesses. Isn't it funny how those "losses" are mysteriously absent?

So one of two groups are being lied to: the public, or the SEC. Were I running a business and had to lie to one of them, it sure as heck wouldn't be the SEC...

I had my first experience with some outfit called Spyware from Georgia that hijacked my computer and put porno and other things I did not want was this weekend. I had to take my computer to a service dealer that had to run a new program on it to rid me of this plague. If I could find the 'holes that did this I would deal them some pain. This is uncalled for and costs me money because of their greed.

I got this POS on my computer just because I wanted to download the lyrics of a song that I wished to play. If it cost me $25 here in Ms, there is no telling how much they cost some poor smuck that lives in areas of the country where the cost of living is high.

Johnny Walker needed a necktie along with Jane Fonda. I am just a routine computer user that doesn't spend 24/7 with a computer and have no idea to rid this of these uninvited intrusions.
