"The irony is that only an intelligent and cunningly resourceful mind could, after long hours of dedicated effort, devise a method of getting around all the safeguards just to execute their malicious prank." on a more productive side of virus programming take what the US military did in the Gulf war. It was very methodical. Months before the war started they implanted virus infected ROM chips into printers that were sold to Iraq by a French distributor. The printers were connected to the computer network employed by the Iraqi Air Defense Force. Now this is ASCII data transmitted on a printer network that somehow got into the main Air Defense Computer. It was dormant until the attack and was somehow triggered to generate false Air Defense warnings and data to confound the Iraqis. Who thinks this stuff up!? Again, the military found the right sociapath to do their bidding. He's probably watching us right now plotting and scheming. HEY! DID MY CURSOR JUST MOVE BY ITSELF! WHO DID THAT!? -Bill_H
