It's not checking the file system. (And it's a MS SQL Server bug, not Linux.) Each infected machine is suddenly using its maximum bandwidth to send 404 byte packets to randomish targets -- and each unpatched SQL Server machine that it hits instantly is also infected and uses it's max bandwidth. And at 404 bytes, it can hit a lot of targets in a short period of time.
If you have a company with a number of machines infected, they're going sending over a 100BaseT LAN to the company pipe to the Internet, which will clog it pretty bad.
The fact that each infected machine suddenly switched to max bandwidth sending was bad enough. The ATMs, 911, etc probably failed due to congestion at bottlenecks.
At least "wormy" was nice (for small values of nice) enough to launch it over a weekend. What if the next one gets launched during something like 9/11 or Desert Storm II?
That Slammer/Sapphire was a really nasty worm! It fired a 404 byte UDP packet to infect a target, and it didn't even have to wait for a response, bang, on to the next attempt. (I'm not certain, but that could also mean that the packets with forged IP addresses, making tracking a lot harder.)
404 fscking bytes! No wonder it clogged the Internet!
Point of fact: Edison didn't invent the lightbulb. They had lightbulbs at the time, but were impracticle because they had to use bloody expensive tungsten filaments. Edison invented a bulb that used carbon impregnated cotton filaments. Short-lived junk, but cheap.
What he did invent was the industrial research lab. Rather being a solitary inventor, he had scores of assistants, and he'd flit from project to project, giving direction, and taking credit.
In "CM, Renfrew", Renfrew isn't a place name, it's the name of CM's asistant who was taking dictation of the paper. CM is obviously the infamous Scottish vampire, Count MacCula.

He's talking about antibiotics, and he's right. If you stop taking them before all the bugs are dead, the ones that survive will be more resistant to that antibiotic. Eventually you'll get a strain that can't be stopped by that antibiotic. That's why there are now "killer" strains of common bacteria infections. (And why doctors now have to use antibiotics that aren't as safe penicillin.)
People who don't follow the directions with antibiotics are doing their tiny part towards breeding the next plague. (And there's the wholesale dosing of livestock with antibiotics, but don't get me started!)
You aren't ones of those people who demand antibiotics to treat their colds, are you? (Viral, won't help.)
A Beowulf cluster of these! Definitely a novel approach, and you could rack-mount them on your bookshelf.

I suppose an envelope that says "You've got mail!" would be pretty redundant? Of course, you wouldn't need a letter inside -- just swipe the envelope through the reader. Easier for the post office to read the address too.

Yeah don't people know enough not to get infected by version 1.0 software?
If they spoofed the IP address, it would make it harder to locate infected machines. But they were probably going for KISS.
Sorry, I'm coming down with something, and my brain hurts. (What? No I'm not running SQL Server, why? :)

You have to admit that it would be a good way to deal with a large volume of data. :^)
There were a number of Dave Berry quotes in the Slackware fortune cookie file. (Don't know if there still are.)
Wasn't there supposed to be some sort of lighting system that was going to interfere with WiFi frequencies? How does the military feel about that?

They have it already. It's called mouthwash and toothpaste. :^P
