Now now .. putting words into my mouth .. tisk tisk ..

They are just annoying little scote's on the face of the internet, but unfortunately they are a part of life - but through their misguided efforts they do make others lift their games and not rest on the laurels - but to compare them with terrorists is probably a little harsh - annoying turds, you are promoting them above their station in life !!!

Who is to say the really smart ones (real terrorists) are not doing exactly what you say - "spend more time in developing them and figure out a way to ' target ' their trojans and not just free release them" - who would really know ? - now thats scary because no one would know until it was too late - they would destroy the infrustructure from right under your feet long before you realised what was happening.

Like I said, annoying little scrote's thats all and whether we like it or not they do keep people on their toes ... which ever way you want to put a spin on it - thats my arguement in a nutshell.

I think the American psyche (read media) is putting too many "terrorists" in the one basket - everyone who seems to do naughty things these days is suddenly a "terrorist" ... its a brand that seems to be given to anyone who doesn't toe the corporate, mainstream line - people need to be careful about over-using the word or label - it tends to lose its impact when overdone.

I have heard it used to describe kids downloading songs/movies off the internet, give me a break !!! I see a terrorist as a fanatical zealot (of any persuasion) who is prepared to sacrifice someone elses life (not their own 'cos they are too gutless) to further their own demented cause. Anyway this digresses from the original post and getting off subject - maybe we take it over to Cosmos and continue

Please dont put words in my mouth and see this as America bashing, its not, its just a perception from the far side of the world - for which the media is probably more to blame than any person/govt/corporation in particular !!

Anyway have a good day - must fly and support my old football team that has made it through to the Grand Final
