I wish the virus writes would do something more creative. This is all so elementary. Well, perhaps not the coding bit, but the usage.
Let's see a new version of the Morris Worm, now that would be exciting. Or even an educational one which takes out half the internet (granted the person who does that will not be liked very much) but it might open some eye's.
[Disclaimer: This is only in humour, I claim no responsibility if tomorrow or the next day, or the next, we wake up to the internet being down] Have a nice day.

Just say "Mutt." I still enjoy laughing at all these *.vbs and *.scr attachments I get from corporate fools^H^H^H^H^Hcontacts with some seemingly innocuous email/explanation (usually in very b0rken engrish or something).
Sorry... not trying to necessarily "offend" anyone... just the whole M$ way of "thinking" tends to really bug me. Ironically, I work for a company that sells product(s) that work with Exchange (don't look at me, I'm one of the UN*X/production guys).
