How Many Bits Does It Take To Kill You?

pegr writes "Andrew 'bunnie' Huang, Reverse Engineer, XBox hacker, and generally smart guy, muses over the H1N1/swine flu virus as only a reverse engineer can: 'I now know how to modify the virus sequence to probably make it more deadly.' Not that he would, of course. bunnie has consistently made the esoteric available to us mere mortals, and his overview of the H1N1 virus is a fascinating read from a unique perspective." (Seen today also at the top of Schneier on Security.)

The best book is still the one not on the shelves.

The book that can't get past the monopolies that prevent it from getting to the shelf. Not the NWO shills and gatekeepers books from Alex Jones and David Kike, but the one's that sometimes slip past the censors. Despite everyone forgetting that there was a Swine Flu vaccine back in the 1970's that caused a 300% mortality rate on all the "volunteers," it is more concern that I haven't over-looked to the fact that today THERE ARE VACCINES PATENTED BEFORE THE DISEASE MAKES ITS FIRST APPEARANCE.

I'm talking about the relatives of Hot Zone and Lab 257, that discusses that like the Human Genome, a virus has just as much and more evidence that it was engineered and traced back to the military industrial complex.

Should I even log in anymore? My main /. account is posting at -1 just because of my critical thoughts of EVER finding myself dependent on my fellow man. I want independence; Wisdom decides what knowledge I seek, so as to not have an untactical command of random unsorted information.

Yes viruses can be said to mutate all the time but the rest of your post is unsubstantiated and no more substantial than mine. This isn't a refereed site. It's an open forum that invites free style commentary. If you weren't so retentively anal and proudly displaying your anus like a bizarre, tribal necklace displaying a displaced genital fixation you might have picked up on that by now. dickwad.

You FAIL IT!!

No dickwad that wasn't impotent rage, that was me just playing with words which is what I do. OTOH I don't like playing with dickwads. By your reasoning HIV jumped to humans from chimpanzees because chimpanzees were enjoying a population boom. You're comment still remains unsubstatiated. I'm not much given to penis fencing with flatworm men so I'll just leave you to amuse yourself.

I wonder if it is just me, but every time I read it as "Slow Leopard".
