Sober Attack on 87th Anniversary of the Nazi Party
Jack writes "ITO is reporting that Sober is scheduled to attack on January 2006 - the data coincides with the 87th anniversary of the Nazi party: "The next planned widespread of 2005's most prolific e-mail worm, Sober, is scheduled to start on January 5, 2006 based on commands hard-coded within the worm. The attack date coincides with the 87th anniversary of the Nazi party.""
I'll be drunk
But will it chat over AIM? 'lol no this is not a Nazi'
lol thats cool
lol no its not a nazi spam
surrendering already?
The truth about Led Zep should never be told on
Since when is widespread a noun?
well, duh, the Germans *attacked* Pearl Harbor, so the connection is obvious. Geez, how stupid can you be?

hitler is bad m'kay
The criteria for Time's Man of the Year is the man who had the most influence on news that year. Nothing about it being an influence for good.
Thus drawing the conclusion that Slashdot editors plan to attack a U.S Navy base
More bullshit irrelevant news as it happens
Did you say something about an anniversary?
Much more likely is the assumption that the coder hated Deep Impact. Man, did that movie suck.
Did you know that Mike Tyson has Che tattooed on his belly? I find that to be extremely funny.
I just saw him fronting a band about spyplanes called the U2!
If it was that simple, you'd think they could have said it at least once in the summary.
Lazy friggen editors!
//FIXME: Bad
Oi, oi, oi! Like ZE GAS, itz!!!!! But zis time for computers!!!!1111~ Oy veh.

after all the dupes
when dupes of stories a year or more old have been done (this is supposed to be NEWs)
when tripes (and perhaps even worse, i've lost count) have happened
when a frontpage with several dupes with originals together on that page has been done
i really thought we hit the limit, it couldn't possible get any worse
but then a post which dupes itself....
since i couldn't imagine this, i won't even bother to try to imagine what's next...
I cant tell if you are being ignorant or just plain idiotic

But that's MY birthday...
More significantly, it's the 50th anniversary of Elvis's recording of "Heartbreak Hotel".
Slashdot's name? When my compiler sees
You must be new here... It's tradition for someone on Slashdot to bash the French any opportunity they get, particularly insinuating they'll surrender whenever they get a chance.
It's not redundant, they are going for the first dupe within a single summary.
I, for one, do not know what 'paredon' means. I googled it and came up with a surf camp in Guatamala...
You didn't look very hard. El Paredón (The Wall) is in La Cabaña, the fortress in Cuba, where Guevera would administer the bullet to the back of the neck to his, um, enemies.
-h-
Clearly you're skipping the spanish language results. Don't look for it in english-- you'll only find references to that surf camp. By translating sentences found via google searching for "paredon -surf -surfing", you get a vague idea of what it means-- something like "struggle", "uprising", or "popular anti-government activity". It's possibly significant that Paredon is a place in the Mexican state of Chiapas. "El paredon" has a definite meaning in the latin american revolutionary subculture, but its meaning isn't clearly communicated anywhere in english. At any rate, I think the OP's point is probably that the latin american struggle against bad government is much larger than one semi-successful revolutionary some forty years gone.
And FWIW, Che was murdered by the Bolivian military. The CIA was quite pissed about that because they wanted to capture him alive (as if that would've turned out better!)
If a job's not worth doing, it's not worth doing right.
Maybe I'm reading into it too much also, but has anyone else noticed the parallel to the lyrics in the song "Sober" by Tool and the life of a virus writer? /*
There's a shadow just behind me,
shrouding every step I take,
making every promise empty,
pointing every finger at me.
Waiting like a stalking butler
who upon the finger rests.
Murder now the path called "must we"
just before the son has come.
Jesus, won't you fucking whistle
something but the past and done?
Jesus, won't you fucking whistle
Something but the past and done?
Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over.
Why can't we drink forever.
I just want to start this over.
I am just a worthless liar.
I am just an imbecile.
I will only complicate you.
Trust in me and fall as well.
I will find a center in you.
I will chew it up and leave,
I will work to elevate you
just enough to bring you down.
Mother Mary won't you whisper
something but the past and done.
Mother Mary won't you whisper
something but the past and done.
Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over.
Why can't we sleep forever.
I just want to start this over.
I am just a worthless liar.
I am just an imbecile.
I will only complicate you.
Trust in me and fall as well.
I will find a center in you.
I will chew it up and leave,
Trust me. Trust me. Trust me. Trust me. Trust Me.
Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over.
Why can't we sleep forever.
I just want to start this over.
I want what I want.
I want what I want.
I want what I want.
I want what I want.

1757 - Louis XV of France survives the assassination attempt by Robert-François Damiens, the last person to be executed in France with the traditional and gruesome form of death penalty used for regicides.
In France, the traditional punishment for regicide or attempted regicide under the ancien régime is often described as "quartering", though it in fact has little to do with the English punishment. The process was as follows: the regicide would be first tortured with red-hot pincers, then the hand with which the crime was committed would be burnt with sulphur and molten lead and wax and boiling oil poured into the wounds. The quartering would be accomplished by the attachment of the victim's limbs to horses, who would then tear them away from the body. Finally, the often still-living torso would be burnt.All your GNU are belong to us!

I can't wait.
Never trust a man wearing a coat and tie!
Unfortunately, the Grammar Nazis don't restrict their activities to January 5th.
Or because you're a Karma whore and did not RTFA or know anything about the Sober worm and that it spams using nazi-propaganda web sites? At least post AC.
I'm not sure what will happen as a consequence, but when this story gets re-posted, it's sure to have the same sentence in the description, like, 4 times.
i have no plans to reverse engineer anything, especially not windows when i can bearly understand why i can't download the internet onto this cd, i've seen people write they can put it onto a floopy disk!
There ought to be a new Slashdot Poll:

Saskboy's blog is good. 9 out of 10 dentists agree.
Why is that a "load of crap"? Seems to be entirely correct, actually.
the virus only affect dirty niggers and worthless jews
I understand from TFA that the Grammar Nazis will be holding thier annual party on Jan 5.
But WHERE will it be held?
"And FWIW, Che was murdered by the Bolivian military."
how can you murder a criminal fighting against you? lets forget how many people che personally killed.

The war on terror is a war for peace
