Sasser Worm Disruption Growing

"noone" is not a word. It is not in the dictionary. You've made an excellent point in your post, but it's tarnished, at least to my eye, when I see you use things like "noone." Look it up and use "No one" next time. Two words. Thank you.
Off topic, but what the hell. Its from the Futurama episode "Bender should not be allowed on TV".
"Have you ever thought about just turning off the TV, sitting down with your kids, and hitting them?"
Gah! Futurama? I didn't think one of those could have slipped passed me. I guess it's time to watch them all again...
Why is anything anything?
And reading /. instead of answering it?
Why does anyone anywhere still use it? And why do grossly incompetent web designers still make sites that only work properly in IE? (Likely they are the same bunch of no-hopers who also use small fixed-size fonts so those of us with high-res screens and IE can't read the text.... Funnily enough, Mozilla has a text zoom for such situations, IE only zooms non-fixed text! No doubt they also use feeble tools like Frontpage.)
We have, very predictably, been hit very badly today at work, the IT Dept are blissfully unaware of the issues which reliance on the combination of trash products of the Convicted Monopolist, and the unreliable anti-virus protection of McAFraud can cause. Cost of cleanup today, maybe 5000. Cost of issuing everyone with Mozilla and IEradicator, zero. But will they do it?
Think of the amount that would be saved if governments passed laws forbidding the use of IE or Lookout, or if shareholders held company directors responsible for the losses due to their incompetence in allowing use of such junk.
