If you could understand the message, you got the insulting point. Drink a big, tall glass of Sani-Flush / Drano infected tea and die already. I am tired of your shit.

Oh, and I did not get infected at all. My firewall and constantly updated virus protection software caught the attempts. But these attempts at the Bugbear virus and OLD, OLD, OLD, OLD Klez virus are just freaking impotent, you ball-less, penis-less little nerds.

Come to my f**king house and find out about the virus I have in an Ithaca pump shotgun, or a Sig-Sauer 9mm (the same kind the Navy Seals carry). It requires no executable file to install. No script either. I just pull the trigger, and your geek ass is done. The subtext is --NO ONE LIKES YOU. We want you to die. Jump in front of a speeding freight locomotive and do us a favor. Or just do something PRODUCTIVE for a living. DUMBASS.

Well, to be quite honest, I sincerely doubt anyone here in Film-Tech wastes their time trying to commit acts of identity theft against any fellow users. And I am sure many participants in this forum share the same blatant disregard of constitutional rights afforded to virus writers the world over. In short, I think some others on this forum would be climbing over me to get to the trigger of a .50 cal machinegun aimed at virus writers who created things like the Klez and Bugbear worms.

At any rate, magazines like 2600 that elevate virus writers to the level of anti-hero status should be acid burned. Sorry. I just do not buy into the CONSTANT BULLSHIT that says people who break the law are cool. Screw that shit. Make those assholes work for a living.'

I mean, damn, take movie theater workers for instance. They have to put up with irritating, ungrateful customers. They have to deal with violent customers that knife up the seats or throw gummy bears at the screen or dump soda on the floor on purpose. Maybe it would be presumptouous, but I think these blue collar fellows would be on my side with this shit.

DIE YOU SCUMBAG VIRUS WRITERS. STOP MAKING ME WASTE MONEY TO SUBSCRIBE TO NORTON AND ALL THAT CRAP. GET A FREAKING LIFE. GET LAID FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE.

Okay. I am done with my rant. Sorry for the disturbance. Hope some of you found it funny.

(i should also note, when I originally posted this it was very late and I had just gotten home from doing some partying and was a little bit smashed. I'm not usually that belligerent.)

I don't know about you, but the laws just aren't stern enough to effectively combat these creators of viruses. I say give them life in prison with no option to get out early. Let one or two of them spend the rest of their life in jail and that should set one hell of an example to the rest of them. This shit would stop, I guarantee it.

Actually you can add spammers to that life in prison idea as well. I would say the electric chair, but that's letting them off too easy. (And no I do not need to put a winky smiley face here.)

Any hacker should be subject to many civil penalities though. If caught (that's the rub), they should be subject to a $1 million judgement for each computer infected. They should also get slammed with additional penalties, such as violating the civil rights of all users they hacked. It in an invasion of privacy.

And let's not forget all the people in prison without anything on their record except simple drug posession. Let them go, and the jails will be half empty!

I strongly believe that life in prison is justifiable for the authors of viruses. For some people, their computer IS their life. It contains all of their documents, records, files, and other "vital data." If you destroy this, you essentially destroy their life. My neighbor lost two years of research due to a virus. Sure, he should have backed it up, but there are still many people without CD burners who don't expect to wake up in the morning and find everything they've ever worked on gone.

Brad -- I also used to believe the Anti-Virus companies may be paying some people to author stuff for them, but there ARE people who do that sort of thing "just for fun." Just like people who throw nacho cheese at the screen or slash a seat -- they just want to be destructive for attention, yet remain unnoticed. Perhaps some time in a nice smelly jail cell with "Bubba" is just the attention they need.

What gets me is when they bust the virus writers and their names are made public, some software companies hire some of them!!

Besides, hackers historically have not destroyed data or systems, just gained access for fun.

I agree totally with Bobby Hendersons words. Jail is too good for these people. Shit, they would just sit and watch cable TV, and that is something that I would love. In jail, they just sit around, eat, sleep, lift weights, and have fun with Moose, and Bubba in the dark corners of the showers.

Lets pour honey all over these people and let a load of fire ants loose on them. It would serve them right.

Believing that Symantec and McAffee are behind all the viruses is like believing that Cisco and Checkpoint Software are behind all network hacking and cracking (so they can sell more firewalls).

As for applying the death penalty, we might want to distinguish between virus authors and virus senders before flipping the switch. Many innocent users have unwittingly become virus senders after becoming infected.
