ZOTOB Not Quite as Bad as Expected?
GuitarNeophyte writes "Although the worm hasn't been in the wild for very long, ZOTOB and its variants have already propagated on the internet. Many people have been giving reports that it poses risks of infection to almost all Windows Operating systems, but accorning to this article, the claims are a tad overzealous. FTA, 'The worm only spreads to systems running on Windows 2000, XP and Server 2003, and even then, the possibility of the worm affecting Windows XP and Server 2003 are minimal.' "
One would imagine you'd be pretty busy at work cleaning up the mess. Why are you posting on /.
Seriously, take your meaningless dribble elsewhere. Enough with the patting yourself on the back for having a moral concience.
Unless you are writing your own patch, you are ALWAYS playing by someone elses 'rules'. Actually, by someone elses 'make', but still. You have the absoulte positive option of playing by your own rules and writing it yourself. But again, you are too 'lazy' to actually write your own code and make the patch. no, you prefer someone else to do all that hard, boring, tedious work. Therefore accepting that their 'rules' are going to be of benefit to you.
You want to talk about silly? How about spewing the words out of your mouth because they sound good, not because you actually know what you are saying. "Playing by someone elses rules?"
What you MEANT to say, and Im going to have to say it because we will never get far enough through your self serving ego to hear you say it, is that you actually enjoy rationalizing reasons NOT to patch your box, because fear of change is a permanent part of human nature.
intolerance of ignornace is not 'exploding'. Its pointing out to you that 'lit ovens are hot, and they burn when you grab them'. Just because you are not a child, doesnt mean everything you know now is correct
