  20. Very Good Idea! on Windows Viruses up Sharply in 2004 · · Score: 3, Insightful
    Im also tired like numerous others of reading microsoft virus alert/aka M$ bashing.

    It is Highly unlikely a seperate section
    for MS-FLAMEBAIT --
    • Slashdot Depends Heavily on Articles related to Microsoft for getting Maximum comments -

    • As we know Articles realated to Microsoft have
      a minimum comment range of 400-500 while max could be anything from 1000-2000 range.

      In stark comparison most other articles would only get a minimum of 60 or a max of 350 [ 60-350 Range].


      If M$ related stories are moved to a seperate section then the number of comments in main section will drastically reduce!

      Which could signal slashdotters that less and less people are visiting slashdot - Slashdot image gets a hit!

      And neither will the MS-FLAMEBAIT section get all the hits or comments.

      Not many would be inclined enough to GO to M$-F section and bash M$.They do it on M$ stories on Main page coz it infuriates them!

    Atleast this extortion wont leave people in a dilemma whetehr to pay or not because there simply cannot be any question of paying, whatsoever may be the data!!

    This extortion isnt like conventional extortions where in you get your thing back when you pay.

    The extortionist obviously would have made copied of the data, and would hav given to so many of his friends.....If someones gonna pay,would he be paying to every one of the mails asking for the same data he had paid?


    LOL


    Sorry, but I think the website owner has already lost the battle - Unless the extortionist get caught - provided the duplicated data doesnt isnt with anyone!
