I know [url="http://www.tomshardware.com/news/virus-trojan-spyware-malware-worm,7129.html"]this article[/url] came out a while ago, but it cracks me up when I first read it. :laugh:
The folks at Telegraph.co.uk [url="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/4797718/Worm-causes-computer-to-crash.html"]tell the story[/url] of Mike Taylor, who recently began having computer troubles related to his laptop's cooling fan. When Mike attempted to investigate the problem through an IT repairman, the two came across perhaps one of the most effective worms we've seen to date. An actual worm had made its way through the cooling vents of the laptop, and up to the fan where it caused a complete cooling failure.
The worm itself was found wrapped around the fan, and was then cooked by the heat. The fan never recovered though, which led to Taylor's computer issues. Taylor believes that it was his cats that may have brought the worm in, and subsequently caused it to seek shelter. No matter how the worm actually gained entry, the story is certainly one that Taylor can look forward to telling for years to come.
I sure hope that doesn't happen to me.
''They say truth is the first casualty of war. But who defines what's true? Truth is just a matter of perspective. The duty of every soldier is to protect the innocent, and sometimes that means preserving the lie of good and evil, that war isn't just natural selection played out on a grand scale. The only truth I found is that the world we live in is a giant tinderbox. All it takes...is someone to light the match" - Captain Price
