IRC Networks Unite in Fight Against Fizzer Worm

Dave writes "Over the past few days, IRC Networks across the internet have felt the brunt of the Fizzer worm. In an unusual display of geek solidarity, representatives from dozens of IRC Networks, including EFNet, IRCNet and DALnet, have gathered to create a Fizzer Task Force. Interesting, and mostly productive results have occurred so far from such a meeting of the IRC minds."

Darwinism For IRC

[the-dude-man]

hmmmm....this virus only infects Win32 machines.

Maybe the author is just trying to bring Darwinism to IRC

I know if IRC was cleansed of all the l33t windows XP users who get online and talk about all the "problems" and "issues" with linux yet still use Internet Exploiter and Microsoft Craplook, I might not go on IRC so seldomly.

Maybe hes doing a service. Although when in a linux channel and one of these l33t people walk in and start talking about Linux I've always enjoyed telling them "dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/hda makes your hard drive go faster!" and then watch half the channel drop off.

Oh well, all anyone was ever doing on Dalnet was jerking off to porn anyways.


Windows, its whats for dinner!
