HA! Fuck you I-Worm/Sober.F, YOU LOSE!

[Revtim]

I've been getting emails from strangers on my same ISP today, all infected withI-Worm/Sober.F. But my defense, the fine and free AVG anti-software, has SMACKED IT DOWN.

[Stewie From Family Guy]HA! Victory is mine![/SFFG]

Not much of a rant, but congratulations anyway.

PC by PC, we'll win the battle against the script kiddies.

Yahoo mail catches the Sasser worm and that other recent nuisance, Netsky. They get shunted to my bulk mail folder, usually say something like "delivery failed" and when I click on them (if I'm curious enough), Yahoo says "virus detected, unable to open, etc."

Pretty good for a free mail service. Thanks Yahoo.

My Mac mocks your ham-fisted Windows virii -- all 50,000 of them. :D

Yeah, well, LINUX box gives your Mac the finger. ;)

[rjung]

You're just jealous because we've got the better software, and we run all those Linux apps as well. ;)

[Revtim]

I know you can run Linux on Mac hardware, but can you run Linux apps while still running Mac OS?

[rjung]

There's this little trick called "recompiling" that works rather nicely. :)

And you can always go with fink. (http://fink.sourceforge.net/)

[Revtim]

Well geeze, you can recompile stuff to run on Windows or any other OS too, so that's hardly an advantage, is it?

[RandomLetters]

Well, since OSX is unix-based, it makes it a lot easier to simply recompile Linux software to it. I will still stick to my Linux boxen though; can't stand the Mac UI, and I like my cheap commodity x86 hardware. ;)
