Linux Virus Alert

marcjw writes: "I don't see many of these (Linux virus alerts). In fact none in the six months or so since I've switched from MS. Maybe that's why this story from newsbytes caught my eye. At any rate, I'm not sure if this poses much of a threat to the general Linux community but it's always best to be forewarned."

BANISHED!

[CaptainSuperBoy]

From LSSU's 2002 Banished Words List, under the redundancies section -

FOREWARN - "But if not, then warn after the fact."

Please don't use that word any more. It's redundant.

Oh, so NOW it's news

2002-01-04 17:57:54 Linux Virus Alert: RST.b (articles,security) (rejected)

Dumb question. What happened between yesterday and today that suddenly made the item newsworthy?

Re:Oh, so NOW it's news

[Anonymous Coward]

This is normal... you arent one of the editor's personal friends so your story will not be accepted..

It's normal. and I will bet $$$$ that they have a special perl program that automatically rejects unless you are on an "accept" list.

Guess it's time to look through the slash codebase..

Stephen King, author, dead at 55

[Anonymous Coward]

I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
