Why couldn't a worm be designed on purpose like this that would limit its exposure. For example lets say a company wants to make sure the patch gets put on all the employees computers (maybe even including home computers). From the beginning its designed to only affect say.. a certain group of IP addresses. The worm only tries to spread within its allowed parameters, and doesn't go elsewhere. This way a company or ISP could protect itself without bothering the outside world.
I don't think.99 cents is a good price at all. An average cd comes with 14-16 songs and costs about $16. This means at.99 cents a song your paying just as much for the song as you would if you bought it in the store. The difference is there is no cost for printing the cd, the cover, or the case. There is also no shipping costs or half the middle men required to get a cd. In addition when many new cd's are released the record companies pay the chain stores to feature the cd with special displays, none of which is necessary. You are also given restrictions with most of these services on how you can use the music.
How is this a fair price?
