Another worm has run amok among the Windows Boxen of the world, spreading joy happiness chaos wherever it goes. Admittedly, Microsoft already had a patch out for this one, but who installs every patch Microsoft put out? Particularly when there's a history of some of Microsoft's patches not exactly working as advertised (read: Uh-oh. You do have a recent backup, right?).

If you're lonely - or just bored - and think you don't get enough email, and you're the lucky owner of a Netgear firewall/router, try turning on the automatic attack warning messages. I'm up to a couple of hundred an hour on my home network.

Of course, Linux just shrugs at these attacks. Like Code Red and Nimda, they just bounce off. Which is why SCO had to engage in their sad little lawsuit to kill Linux instead.

Curiously enough, senior SCO suits (I like that term; it suggests that the management of SCO consists of various uncomfortable articles of clothing rather than actual human beings) have been taking advantage of the post-lawsuit share price hike to dump their stock. Who'da thunk?
