1. ZOTOB????

[Walt Starr]

9. New Internet worm making the rounds

All they had to do was patch their systems.

Heck, good administrators would have set every machine to do it automatically and nobody would have been affected.

[gkhouston]

13. Oh. I was wondering how

Grovelbot had gotten over there!

[Pobeka]

22. Correction: New microsoft network worm.

The internet is worm-free, only MS hosts this worm.

5. How hard is it to protect your computer from a fucking WORM???

[Walt Starr]

7. Just ges to show, even big companies have a hard time coping

in a fast changing computer world.

[Cooley Hurd]

11. because they're too busy smearing Cindy Sheehan...

...the Blog chicks have to pull their heads out of Drudge's ass. ;) :D

[LisaM]

6. Worm? Novak?

What did he do now? Infect everyone's email?

[ixion]

10. if you a) filter your email and b) don't use IE,

you eliminate much of the trouble. ;-)

[jim3775]

16. This worm has nothing to do with email or IE

Although those are both good points.

[babydollhead]

19. you know, you'd think they'd have a firewall

:shrug: but, hey, that's just me.

[mikeytherat]

20. Ah, if only they had Sys Ads

<old man voice>
You know, back in my day, we us some had dedicated IT folks just a watchin' and a monitoring our systems, and makin' sure all them patches and fixes were, well, patched and fixed. Then some o' them accountin' folks started think they's payin' them IT folks too much; can save lots of money outsourcin' 'em, they said. And save money they did.

When their systems were running.
