The World of Virus Writers

    As this is slashdot, I haven't read the article, however, I find it very hard to believe that a mainstream news outlet would really describe this accurately. I mean, look at how bad the press tends to botch up tech stories on things that aren't "underground". Why would I trust that they know about things that aren't common knowledge, when they can't even get stories on simple tech issues correct?
