    I'm not denying that he released it, the parent to my post said that the parents couldn't have done anything because he was writing viruses, and they probably wouldn't have known what he was doing, only that he was "learning about computers". I pointed out that he hadn't done anything remotely related to learning about computers.

    I doubt his parents would realize he was making a virus even if they were looking.

    He used a hex editor to change the name of the virus and put his "handle" in. That's it. He didn't write a variant of the blaster worm, he changed a couple strings in a binary.

  5. VPN tunnel. on Taking My Freedom With Me to China? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Our company has employees in China, and their work requires that they be able to access our corporate systems. So, they've got a VPN connection through the GFC, that VPN connection also includes unfiltered Internet access. From what I'm told by our Network Admin, unfiltered access is something of a status symbol over there.

    [I]f they did, watch your insurance rates skyrocket.

    The United States Military provides health-care to its members. So, if they were providing C-legs and the like, then it wouldn't affect any civilian's insurance rates because they are wholly seperate entities. This is much like regular insurance, if you have insurance through company A, and I have insurance through company B, my getting expensive surgery doesn't affect your insurance rates.

  16. Re:Get the facts straight on Paralyzed Woman Walks Again · · Score: 1

    We weren't arguing about how the market functions, I was merely pointing out that it is not contradictory to sell a product at two different prices while still being greedy.

  17. Re:Get the facts straight on Paralyzed Woman Walks Again · · Score: 0

    You don't understand basic economics. If there exist a pool of people who will buy my product at $X dollars, and a larger pool of people who will buy my product at $X-Y dollars, then if I sell my product to both pools I am increasing my profits. Sure, I could demand that the $X-Y pool pay $X, but they won't because my product isn't worth $X to them. It's worth $X-Y.

    It is not a contradiction to say that corporations are greedy and they sell their products more cheaply to those who aren't capable of paying. It's just basic economics.
