If you're talking about technical legitimacy, sure. But would Satanic have ever come about if nobody had made Christian? It seems to me that it's a reactionary, sardonic idea.
Yes, I wish every exploit could just be called an exploit (sans "zero day" in front of everything) unless it's specifically 1) a vulnerability the company has chosen not to fix, or 2) a vulnerability some guy somewhere knew about but hadn't used in order to keep it valuable. It's like if we were to start calling Microsoft Office "Microsoft Office for Windows" incessantly. It's assumed, unless you're specifically on a Mac or running it in WINE or something.
here are 120++ or so "upward mods" to my credit, that quite obviously show that others disagree with YOUR opinion:
1. Wow, who's ever going to take the time to read more than a handful of those? Thorough but superfluous. Congrats on the mods but why the heck haven't you registered an account? Then you could actually do something with all the karma.
2. If you're implying that my opinion is "your opinion is irrelevant because of funky shouting"...it isn't. And if 90% of my posts are still at +1 doesn't mean people disagree with me, it means they are ambivalent because they haven't modded me down either. You might have noticed that I don't quote scads of relevant information in an obvious attempt to garner karma.
Okay, you are aware this is the government we're talking about here, right? Assuming that they had some crazy kind of detection system that instantly identified this hypothetical worm when it infected its first host (utterly impossible), do you really think that they would give the go-ahead to cut off the Internet within 10 minutes? If they had some general who would be all "OMG VIRUS KILL IT NOW" every time someone sneezed, can you imagine how pissed off (rightly so) the average U.S. citizen would become?
So either they kill it at the drop of a hat, or hesitate and it infects everything. Or it's an automated system that doesn't trigger until it's too late, or doesn't trigger at all because of a glitch, or triggers when it isn't supposed to.
And this is all assuming they find out about it quickly. Because new viruses are sooo easy to identify and quickly analyze the threat of when they first appear.
True. But seeing as only about 11% of English speakers know how to correctly use commas and apostrophes in 90% of circumstances, the discriminating pedant must correct other areas:)

Well, that's a problem everywhere with stupid people who don't understand the point of a range-of-response question, not just on YouTube. Obviously a "1 - 10 range" question is really asking, "Do you loathe this with all your being or want to make sweet love to it?"
Here in America, we Americans don't put apostrophes in "American's" unless it's possessive. i.e. "Scientific American's in-depth article on electronic Vuvezeula noise filtering". It's possible apostrophe rules are different where you live, such as England or South Africa, but I doubt it:)
Here in America, we Americans italicize the names of magazines and journals if it's the typewritten word, i.e. "Scientific American's in-depth article on electronic Vuvezeula noise filtering."

Slashdot Mirror
its creator is a thief
So what you're saying is, you're a thief.
thieves think everyone is a thief.
So what you're trying to say is, "Yes."
Yes, one might think that physicists especially would care about physics.
(-1 Obvious)
Not to mention the fact that "Microsoft" is calling you on the phone. WTF?
Ooh, two whole examples? Well obviously our entire argument is completely invalid now. How many Windows infections appear in a given month?
Typical for someone whose mother tongue is English
FTFY.

And what about the silent majority? All of them who don't practice publicly?

I'm pretty sure. Amiright?
Almost everyone

I rest my case.

Well excuse the hell out of me for trying to improve your readability, mister.
If you didn't read it, how do you know that? :)
tl;dr
Also, perhaps BETTER capitalization PRACTICES would have made it EASIER to READ.
that word
Sarcasm?
So many offensive ED pages, so little time...
Come again?
Maybe that was the exact value, you just assumed it was unending.
Oh crap replied to the wrong post. damn

Depends moreso on whether you believe in an afterlife, I would think. As this thread is assuming there actually is one.

Dang! I was going to make that joke. But what about IE 8?
If the person they murder is about to murder someone else, yes. That's half the point of being a police officer in an armed confrontation, isn't it?
