The fact that a policeman posted said video to the web is what's important in this discussion, and seems to fulfill Slashdot's mandate.
Yes, it's a sad (horrible) thing to have happen. However, we need sober and intelligent policies and societal responses which address our need for privacy but allow for the free dissemination of information, and this incident is a part of this ongoing discussion. --
When I purchased my iPod from my university's bookstore (yay educational discount), they had already tacked on the $25 media levy onto the device. If you go to Apple Canada's online web store, and click on the iPod, it lists in red at the bottom of each iPod's description that the price includes the CPCC Blank Media LEvy.
Serious Sam would probably give it a run for it's money. If I recall correctly, SS could have hordes upon hordes of monsters active in the same area at once.
Whether or not this is a comparable experience is open to question, but SS felt like an old-school shooter with new-school graphics.
On a related note, since most of these new Code Red attacks are relatively local to you, you can helpfully inform people that they've been infected by using "net send".
Proper syntax: net send "Your system appears to be harbouring the Code Red virus. Please patch your IIS server"
This should cause a dialogue box to pop-up on the target system with your message in it. They have to click on "OK" to get it to go away.
