What a Hacked PC Can Be Used For
An anonymous reader points out that the Security Fix blog is running a feature looking at the different ways hacked/cracked computers can be abused by cyber scammers. "Computer users often dismiss Internet security best practices because they find them inconvenient, or because they think the rules don't apply to them. Many cling to the misguided belief that because they don't bank or shop online, that bad guys won't target them. The next time you hear this claim, please refer the misguided person to this blog post, which attempts to examine some of the more common — yet often overlooked — ways that cyber crooks can put your PC to criminal use."

But it did appear very recently in the WSJ as an analogy for Obama's stimulus plan - How cool is that!
Wow, the ultra-rich staunch conservatives don't like Obama. How "cool" is that? Answer: Not only is that not cool, but they will never ever know what is cool, nor will anything they ever do be cool.
I think you misunderstood - It didn't find it surprising or cool that the WSJ was bashing Obama's plan for the future. That's pretty standard practice. But the fact that the WSJ was referencing the Underpants Gnomes from South Park was both novel and pretty cool.
Wasn't trying to go on an Obama rant, just saying that Underpants Gnomes in the WSJ was kinda neat. Also, I messed up - it wasn't his financial plan, it was his plan for closing Gitmo. Although dangerously off-topic here, have a link for those curious:

He's getting rather old, but he's a good mouse.
Read the link.
Actually, the stimulus is mentioned in there - Amongst a bunch of other things. Gitmo's just first.
Plan?? Spending even MORE money that the US doesn't have? What's to analyze?
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.........
Yeah, because having random malware on your computer and 3 kids dead is the same thing.
