The Windows-using fuckwits are at it again.

How 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.

G'wan. I'd buy you beer if we hadn't just blown all our money in Atlanta.

[Seriously, I think I owe you a swift one or two - and otherwise I'll just have to get Ali comically drunk and you know how I hate that.]
