Worm Developed for Nokia Series-60 Phones

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the reducing-cell-phone-calls-is-not-a-bad-thing dept.

Tuxedo Jack writes "It had to happen. The first worm designed specifically for cellular phones has been developed, and Cabir appears to be a way of effectively killing Nokia Series-60 cellular phones via shortening the battery life due to scanning for nearby Bluetooth devices and propagating itself. This still relies on a user to open it, so hopefully that won't be many, and those that do must use a file manager to find and kill the worm. At least it isn't a dialer!"

    I have just ingested a 20gram dose of psilocybe tampanensis truffles. If any psychonautic or curious geeks are interested in my post-trip retrospective, give me a shout out in a reply.

      Taking psychotropic drugs and posting on /. that is a great idea!

      Hmmm...seems like my sarcasm plugin for IE isn't working properly.

      I'd really hope it was fresh. Because the UK laws are what they are, it's much more likely to be the former...

      You have to be stupid or entirely ignorant to be a successful person in this society crafted by charlatans and intellectual inferiors.

      Are you successful? Maybe it's not the system, but the drugs that keep you from reaching your goals.

      Fresh. I'm not very sensitive to psilocin/psilocybin so I normally take an average dose and then increase it after I start feeling the effects of the first dose, it's the only way I can judge. My usual dose is 50 grams of fresh P. Cubensis, I've never experienced truffles before, but I believe that they roughly 3 times more potent per gram of fresh material.

      I dose on fresh because I live in England, where the items can be purchased legally in their fresh state due to a shadowed area in the law.

      Wow, must be some week assed shrooms. If you took 50g fresh of BC or east coast shrooms, you would be a puddle of crampy goo for 3 days. I almost want to puke just thinking of the rotten taste, I couldn't imagine eating 2OZ of that stinking fungus. Love the trip, can't stand the taste. Enjoy the ride :)

      not stimulate the intellectual part of the mind. Nor does it inspire to work on your general condition.

      On mushrooms I do this: draw, write, and sit with nature. It's the most creative and important part of my life.
