Don't Forget That Worms Happen Everywhere

friday2k writes "Securityfocus has a nice column on Worms and their origin in 1988. It explains what everybody should never forget. We have dealt with *NIX worms (Sadmind, li0n, ...) and they will come back again. Maybe then the MS fanatics will laugh and say: didn't we always tell you Open Source is insecure (too?) ..."

    I just LOVE vladinator's site! Especially the "fash" section, where I learned to cut the bottom off of an old shirt to use as a hair enhancement! Oh, and the "dance party" photos!

    Of course, don't forget to read vladinator's emails! Here you will discover how truly difficult it is to decide what to do on the weekends... have a pizza party? A fash party? Go to the mall with all of your friends? Have a sleepover and call boys on the phone?

    In short, if you haven't checked out vladinator's site, you don't know what you're missing!

    Well #1 this was years ago, and it was a pretty bad case of worms. #2 I was obviously just shooting for first post (which I got), and put little to no thought into what I said.

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/fiction writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine house this morning. There weren
    t any more details than that. I'm sure we'll all miss him - even if you didn't read his books you've probably enjoyed one of his movies. Truly an American icon.

    Not quite. I've had three of four firsts today (logged in). I hit the karma cap, so I wanted to burn a few points and work my way back up.

    Three Boy Scouts, a lawyer, a Catholic priest, and a pilot are in a plane that is about to crash.
    The pilot says "Well, we only have 3 parachutes, let's give them to the 3 Boy Scouts. They are young and have their whole lives in front of them"
    The lawyer says "Fuck the Boy Scouts!"
    The priest says, "Do we have time?"
