reddragdivaHow many copies of the latest fucking virus are in my fucking mail? TOO FUCKING MANY. With a new one on average every one hundred and fifty seconds for the past three days! I think the Bayesian filter is this close to deciding the word 'Microsoft' indicates spam.
Your excuses are tired. The bogus analogies, the belligerent whininess. You talk like junkies in danger of being cut off. YOUR COMPUTERS ARE AGENTS OF CONTAGION. THEY DESERVE TO BE BANISHED FROM THE NET FORTHWITH. I wish to declare my full and ardent support for this move. People who complain this is unfaaair and toooo haaard are like people who run over kids and whose only defence is that they can't be expected to know how to drive and therefore couldn't possibly be held responsible.
I fully expect the comments on this entry to be filled with lame justifications, ridiculous analogies and badly-misremembered Microsoft FUD. Don't whine to me for daring to complain about your intrinsically unsecurable systems - just CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELVES AND YOUR COMPATRIOTS, YOU SKANKY SHITBAGS.
(Thunderbird seems to detect the web page variant of the virus, but not the mailbounce one - it doesn't like running slabs of MIME-encoded binary through the filter. Filter on the string TVqQAAMAAAAEAAAA// - that's the beginning of the virus code, and will nail it nicely.)
Note: I expect things to be even worse when popular Linux is afflicted with self-propagating rootkits. For the same reason.

Re: Not meaning to rain on your parade
Date: 2003-09-30 01:04 pm (UTC)I'd post 'em - they were public to start with.

Date: 2003-09-30 05:39 pm (UTC)I deleted them because I do not wish anyone else to wade in on my behalf, never mind yours/his...I want an end to it...So, by deleting my comments, I have made it impossible to defend my point of view...
But it's your LJ, so, it's up to you..it's your LJ...I haven't said anything I don't stand behind
but it says a LOT about BOTH of of you that you haven't bothered to contact me directly...
But then, I didn't expect any more
It's your LJ...I won't be commenting here ever again
