Fucking hacker fuckers can fuck their fucking selves.
If anyone sent me an e-mail, sorry, but the entire fucking system of BMG exploded thanks to the “Love Bug.”
Grr…
Yer pal,
Satan
I HAVE BEEN SMOKE-FREE FOR:
Three weeks, four days, 14 hours, 29 minutes and 27 seconds.
1024 cigarettes not smoked, saving $128.02.
Life saved: 3 days, 13 hours, 20 minutes.
Our mail server is down right now. The word about the virus got to us about 20 minutes too late. I’d like to invite this “spyder” guy over for a few minutes…
I dunno - First, you gotta ask yourself “Am I the type of guy to whom people would send an ‘ILOVEYOU’ note?” Then, if you’re lucky, you notice the thing is a vbscript. Then you ask yourself “Is my friend the accountant really able to program a VBScript?” Then, since it’s a script, you open it and see all kinds of troll-like language, and cool subroutine names like ‘SpreadToEmail’ and ‘deleteFiles’. Then you don’t run it, because you realize it’s a trap.
Then your friend comes over and says “What’s this [click-click]?”
How fast can you hit the power switch on your computer?
I gotta agree with douglips on this one. Why would anyone open an email, and then open an attachment (i.e. possibly executable file) from someone they don’t know? Idiots. Anyone who got caught up in this “I LOVE U” thing deserves what they got for being stupid.
The “I Love You” virus would not have been a problem if those fucking arrogant lackwit fuckwads at Microsoft didn’t build in the “feature” that script attachments auto-fucking-matically run when you open an e-mail.
I didn’t open a file from someone I didn’t know–it came from someone I do know and in fact from someone with whom I work. I don’t consider myself to be an idiot or stupid and I bet many of the other people who got caught don’t consider themselves idiots or stupid, either. So fuck off, you self righteous asshole.
But after ten thousand stupid, urban legend-esque emails warning me about this virus and that virus and the other virus (“Whatever you do, for the love of God, don’t open [fill in the blank]!!!”) that were all absolute bullshit, it’s mildly gratifying in a twisted way that there’s an actual real one out there somewhere on the planet.
