Wouldn't an anti/virus program fix this? Are all the zombies unprotected machines? If so, couldn't the ISP's (I know Cox does) disconnect their service until the problem is fixed? (Or at least temporarily let them back on to download an A/V program)
Why can't these countries take care of themselves? As a U.S taxpayer, why don't they give me an option of whether I want to spend ?% of my tax money helping other countries that can't help themselves.
What ever happened to survival of the fitest?
(Don't get me wrong, I do feel for these people)
outstanding answer!
"Have You Patented This Idea?
Answer: NO. First of all, the idea of building a solar-hydrogen internal combustion vehicle is neither new or original. As far as we know, nobody has built one before this since the production rate of hydrogen is so low. Secondly, one of our main goals is to promote this technology, and contribute to this field without putting any restrictions on others."
you'are right, she did get slashdotted.

Slashdot, amongst other things
Wow, I got slashdotted as a result of yesterdays article in The Register. Overwhelmed by the traffic and the number of supportive emails I've received, thank you web community!
Reading the/. comments it's great to know that everyone out there believes in this issue. I wanted to address one of the comments that was made on there which quotes an email from Parry Aftab who says that I have a 'hidden agenda' and that I want 'publicity'.
Nothing could be further from the truth. This entire situation was foisted upon me. I didn't ask for it and I haven't encouraged it. Failing any kind of acceptance of responsibility on their part, I had hoped it would die down but they've resurrected it. I've always been, and will continue to be, open about the situation. I've nothing to hide, the only agenda I have is that I want to be left alone. As far as publicity goes, I didn't invite it, they did. I would be far happier residing here in anonymity rather than be associated with this book and it's subject matter. How I can be accused of any wrongdoing is beyond me.
I should also point out that in my professional life, away from this domain issue, I work very hard to raise the public awareness of online safety issues and donate an enormous amount of my time to doing so. I don't, however, feel that this entitles me to ask for other people to hand over their property .

I lived in South Africa for my first 16 years. South Africa is definatly the most well off country in Africa, I can't really see how most of the other countries would be able to get net access, let alone be able to come up with the money for a machine.
Everyone needs to start somewhere I suppose.
3 years? maybe they should send more than one ship. each having enough on board to support the other if a failure happens. it wouldn't be to much fun having an electric failure millions of miles from no where. the aaa takes long enough on earth!
