Hmm... Nowhere does the article say the only Windows machines are infeccted by and propagate the worm.
The SoBig worm is the latest in an outbreak that began 10 days ago with the so-called "Blaster" or "LovSan" worm which, by some estimates, infected more than 500,000 computers running the latest version of Microsoft Windows, the world's dominant operating system.
That's the only place Windows is mentioned, with regards only to Blaster.
from what i understand, they're already doing this. it's how they caught kevin spacey.
SOMERSET: For a long time, the F.B.I.'s been hooked into the library system, keeping accurate records.
MILLS: What? Assessing fines?
SOMERSET: They monitor reading habits. Not every book, but certain ones are flagged. Books about... let's say, how to build a nuclear bomb, or maybe Mein Kampf. Whoever takes out a flagged book has their library records fed to the F.B.I. from then on.
Next time you post, try interspersing some facts or at least reasoning in amongst the rants.
emmm...
i think you meant ranDts.
