If someone sets fire to a house. Are they not responsible for it burning down, whether or not it has sprinkler system or not. This tried to set a fire to all the computers in the world that didn't have their patches yet or sprinklers on. Its a simple thought. He set the fire, it destroyed the city, he is liable for what he has done.
I'm just getting pissed that the virus writers are turning out to be teenagers. I mean, come on, go out on dates, go to the movies, play sports or something, why the hell are they staying home and doing this crap.
And Microsoft, just start having your patches work, I'm sick of the patch for the patch for the patch because you couldn't get it right the first time.
Ok, since they don't want to code to be public, then just have SCO show the Judge, and IBM the infringing code. Then everyone does research to find out where that code came from, when it made it into Linux. WHO put contributed it, was it a SCO employee with permission from management or did it come from BSD or another contributor, then find out if SCO had the rights to clam it anymore. Which if its from those sources above, they don't. So far I have heard that SCO employees have made contributions with management giving the go ahead to do so, and BSD code finding its way into linux. The only System V source that has been known to get into linux was contributed by SGI, and that code has been taken out. How did this all happen without evidence, is our court system that bad.

Did anyone get them, share them maybe. They were there a minute ago with broken links, now links are gone too.
