Well yes for a true "virus". I mean you can make a overwriter or appending virus in almost anything. You could make a worm copy itself to P2P shares with almost any language. But as for backdoor trojans in languages like VB & (ect)... well thats another story. You'd have to make a dropper or something to drop in the needed files for certian things. Otherwise you'll get runtime errors.

Who the hell cares. The word "hacker" its nothing more than a shorter or more interesting way of saying computer enthusiast or just a enthusiast of various sorts and that could be almost anyone. In the end it has no meaning anymore and is just pointless. Whats sad is 99.9% of the self proclaimed "hackers" are just in it because they want to be part of a scene, to look cool, to get their name on something, to hangout with peaple that they feel are "above" themselves, & (ect). Most can't admit it but its true. How is that any better than the bad guys? I mean either way your still lame as hell.

I also find it funny that originally the word was mainly used by computer illiterates to complement the computer litterate... yet now everyone feels the need to pompusly use the word on themselves. The whole thing is so stupid... its all a big pissing contest.

I'll show you who the real poke'mon master/trainer!
Hahahaha!
