^^^^^^
Yes, the papers, they'll make something, anything sound good. The fact is;
okay so it's a virus, and a nasty blighter as well, but virus's aren't new...
The papers (at least in the UK) would have Joe public believe that the Internet
is a Paedophile's hang-out.... Yeah right...
One word: Hype. :) Yes I acknowledge it's bad but it's hardly the end of the
world.
What made me laugh was that the Pentagon was infected by it; and the Pentagon
used to house ARPA (or DARPA as it's now known) - so the place where the ARAPNet/Internet
got its original go-ahead funding has been infected by its brain child (the
Internet) - isn't that nice of the 'net community.
"Thanks for the 'net guys - have this! Bwaaaah ha ha haa haaaa"... :)
</rant>
I wonder if the old BBN will get infected too ;)
All the best,
Nick Lamburn.
