70% Of 2004 Virus Activity Down To One Man
arpy writes "According to a report produced by anti-virus software provider Sophos, 70% of anti-virus activity in the first half of this year can be blamed on Sven Jaschan, an 18-year-old German who wrote the Netsky and Sasser worms. According to the report, "Sasser claimed the top spot of the virus chart, in spite of the raging battle between the widespread Netsky and Bagle worms." The Register has a good summary of the report."

And I'm willing to bet the other 30% are just utter fiction. :)

BTW. I like to drink Bawls, right?
Well, they finally got a sugar free version using sucralose. The fun part was that I had a dream that this stuff existed before they started making it. I had it correct, except I dreamt it in a green bottle instead of a clear one.
So....like I had a nightmare the other night that they were going to make a caffeiene and sugar-free version.
Someone shoot me.

I find your ideas intriguing and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
I could just as easily say that 70% of wars in 2003 were caused by George W Bush: technically correct, but ignoring the real issue. I'd say 70% of viruses were down to 70% of Windows users.

Blockquoth the parent:
I haven't taken any standardized tests in the since I graduated from High School ten years ago, but I consider myself a lay expert on testing strategy having achieved a number of perfect and near-perfect scores on them.
this is a classic example of an "easy way vs. hard way" type of question. If all you were asked to do was to write down the answer, and not to show your work by writing down all of the intermediate angles that you measured and summing them together, then it is in no way cheating to just write down the final answer if there is a shortcut to finding it
When questions like this are written, they are intended to bog down the less clever students, while the more clever students write down the answer and have more time to finish the test.
This IS how standardized math tests are put together- the ONLY way to get a perfect score is to spot the tricks, shortcuts, and pitfalls that the test writers included, and work around them. Its a more subtle skill that separates people who are sharp at math (or, like me, sharp at taking standardized tests) from people who are merely good at following instructions.
It has nothing to do with cheating. Standardized tests care only about the answer, and value efficiency in finding it. Understand that, and watch your own scores rise.
By the way, real life is like that too- especially if you go into a career in engineering.
Also, if the question asked me to measure and list all of the angles in this problem, I would make sure as hell that my list added up to 360 degrees! In that light, I'm not even sure that I would want to give full credit to anyone who mindlessly followed directions and didn't think about the whole problem.

Fuck the Israeli government all the way.
Yeah, and people who blame the nation which defends itself agains terrorism.

Check my
33% of the registered voters abstained the last election.
That means that you've got the classic revolutionary split:
33% Patriots
33% Loyalists
33% "Leave me alone, I have work to get done."
The "swing vote" didn't make much difference last time. Why should it this time? What's changed really (besides a war and a crappy economy)?
A Pirate and a Puritan look the same on a balance sheet.
neither.
because saddam was not a muslim. he pretended to be one for the cameras in order to rally the other arab countries.
the thing he never understood was that although the other arab nations didnt like what the US was doing, they were not about to side with someone they hate even more than the US.

as it should be.

Slander Fox all you want, but here is something the Liberals will never understand. It is the HIGHEST rated channel for a reason. Poeple want a different view. They are tired of Pravda/NYT, CNN, and the rest of the Elitist Media. Just a little example of the bias. Small scuffle outside the DNC convention first day :
NYT reports "A man representing a group of Peace Activists scuffled with a an anti abortion protestor"
Fox reported " A pro life activist was attacked by a an anti-war protestor".
Notice the bias in each of those statements. I know Fox has a political view, thats why I listen/watch. I know the NYT/CNN has one also, that's why I don't.
