German Teen Charged with Creating Sasser
nomoreself writes "Sven Jaschan, only 18 years old, has been indicted by prosecutors in Verden, Germany for allegedly releasing the well known Sasser worm. The PC World article has the details, including the fact that Microsoft's $250,000 reward offer was responsible for informants' coming forth with Jaschan's name, and that Jaschan has actually already confessed to writing several versions of Netsky, as well as the worm in question. Surprisingly enough, the 143 victims that have filed charges are only claiming $158,000 worth of damages." You might remember when he was first arrested back in May.
" Yes, but they could only find 143 people willing to stand up in court and admit that they use windows."
If the money is good enough I will admit that I use mac and wear women underwear too!
Online backup with Mozy, sounds like Ozzie, but more!
Jesus and Mohammed have spawned more death than any other beings in the history of the world including Hitler who is quite commonly thought to have suffered from insanity possibly caused by syphillis. Mohammed himself often sacked villages when they wouldn't listen to his "gospel". Hobbes was also tainted by the irrationalism of religion and Machiavelli was only writing to appease and justify the actions of his regional lords as he was sick of the years of persecution he had suffered. Out of your examples, only Buddha is a good one and he did not benefit from the long history of rational thought we now take for granted.
