umm i dont think so.. someone who can prove knowlege like that tends to get better secured jobs.. he's famous now for proving that he knows how to exploit a system & at the very least, be a good programmer. if what you say is the case, do you think Kevin M. is going to be jobless when (if ever) he manages to serve his sentance out? or how bout the MOD boys PhiberOptic & the like? they are now convicted fealons of computer crimes.. & i'll betcha they all have jobs now that they have done their time, & i'll betcha even more money that they are all making 4-5x what i'll make in the next 2 years. -cbp
you have to remember also that there are benificial virii.. & by not having them, you'd continue to have problems that you would not be capable of fixing yourself.. before you bash virii or their creators, i'd suggest you read up on what the actuall definition of a virus is. there is a great book out there called "the giant black book of computer virus's" which while teaching the nature of virus's also teaches how to create them & the practical applications involved.
