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."
This has to be a first(post) for the IRC community.
All the time (little) while I was there, all there were were dipshit douchebags that'd kick you for for the hell of it.
Is IRC growing up ( or did they get rid of the kiddies??)
Now if we could only have some fag solidarity and get them to agree to keep their dick in their pants maybe we could stop AIDS.
At the very least, get CmdrTaco to stop sucking dick and stop 98% of AIDS transmissions.
And if you had a clue you'd realize the fizzer is a spamware, and that the irc networks is how the spammers send the spam to the contaminated computers, so _they_ will distribute the spam.
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!
mod this up as funny. oh yeah, moderators have a sense of humor equivalent to a a toaster oven. and don't get me started on their intelligence *cough nematodes cough*.
fuck off, i use irc daily, but i almost never pirates anything over it.
--hey, go suck a rotten lemon. Ya you, talking to you, don't need your bogus technical skillz to define little miniscule picky points. You know exactly what I was saying, and so does everyone else here.. You are about as elite as roadkill, nimrod. It's close enough with the referenced topic to pass muster. It's a big net that in a lot of instances is used for file trading, and by your own admission, you can do person to person. By you definition, kazaa wouldn't be a P2P, because it uses other peoples routers on the internet, you aren't telnetting between people individually.
Get over yourself. Save your insults for yore momma, she deserves it.
