Two whole schools of thought, not just his opinion. For those wanting worms to be 'not-viruses', they stipulate that viruses must attach to code and worms need not. Some draw the line at whether or not user action is required, or whether or not a program is 'network aware'. I don't hold with any of those artificial lines, but I try to be aware of them when discussing related topics with those that do.

Some worms don't even hit the filesystem, and use network replication. The 'self-contained' thing is another artificial line drawn between virus and worm (another way of saying it isn't infecting to replicate). A worm can be exploit code and shellcode embedded in data that gains more content by downloading from a previous victim. Hardly 'self-contained' when it spans systems.

He tries to impress with his fancy white man's words but his own post news:urivk59s8akoc2r5m29ese4t6ef6jup86a(a)4ax.com exposed him as sewer scum. In Saudi Arabia his reward for publicly posting such filth would be 5 years in prison and 1,000 lashes. I hope he visits us soon. Hai'a will be waiting to greet him at the airport. --

Obviously my 'fancy white man's words' impressed the likes of you. I don't apologize for my university education. I wouldn't wait too long for me at the airport since the odds are great a Saudi-sponsored Al Queda suicide bomber would probably blow the plane up before arrival. BTW how much aid (if any) is Saudi Arabia sending to Haiti? I realize your country imposes religous repression (mind control) and you are simply an ignorant mouthpiece for that oppressive government. Isn't living in fear of accidentally speaking your true mind tiresome and a source of stress? Secretly you would love to immigrate to the USA....Let me know the flight number and I'LL meet YOU at the airport. |
