Posted in case the virii authors are Amigans..
I hereby offer a $1 bounty to anyone who catches a person who writes "virii" and puts him in correctional detention. :P
(It's "viruses", or "virions" if you're talking about several virus units. There is nothing called "virii" in any language. )
Is there a chance to earn those 2 x $250k if I turn in the authors of MS Lookout and IIS? :) Let's attack the roots here.

simmilarities with m$ and genesi, anyone?
Uuh, yeah, anyone?
-
These virus writing bastards should be charged with terrorism, no one should be allowed to get away with trashing peoples machines.
-
Uuh, yeah, anyone?
Who let u out of the cage? :-P
The old amiga viruses were much more innovative , anyone remember "timebomb"? :-)
-
Yeah throw some money at it and it will go away? , dont thinks so , they are just to lazy to fix their bloated
bugcode , ppl are still going to hate em and keep writing "blaster" like viri´s wonder how long longhorn will last :-P
-
I bet if people finally stopped writing viruses, then antivirus companies would write them themself.. they live on computer viruses.. big money :-D
-
simmilarities with m$ and genesi, anyone?
Uuh, yeah, anyone?
They're both computer companies.
They both attracted a lot of customers away from AmigaOS.
They both produce hardware as well as software.
The both have the letter S in their names somewhere.
They both have desktop Operating Systems available right now?
I'll probably think of some more later :-)
-
I'll give the guy 10 bucks, American even, if he KEEPS writing the virii!
Heh, yeah, I'm kidding, but it sounded funny.

Bio-ounty = Virus Bounty :-P :lol:
-
Can't they use that money to hire good coders ? :-)
-
So, if I turn myself in I get USD 500.000?
Cool.
"Hey, I'm Brian too, and so is my wife!" :-D

Don't be silly, hold out for a million and let us turn you in. :-)
-
The virus was wrote by microsoft its called windows. :-)
-
Yes, It wouldn't be the first time M$ has paid people to produce a virus ;-)
-
That guy, Mikko Hypponen, is that the same guy who wrote Amiga anti-virus software, back in '90.? I can't remember the name of that software, but there was a bounty, $1000 reward for any information which will lead to arrest any virus coder, and also there was big icon, I think mouse was pixeled in it.
I found very strange that CNN is calling a virus as a "computer bug"???? Weird...
later,
levelLORD

:roflmao:
They should have a $250.000 reward for people who reports securityholes to them instead.
But then of course they would soon be bancrupt. :lol:
The problem isn´t really that there is security holes in Windows it´s that Micro$oft denies that up to that point a MSBlast gets out.

Maybe a combination of ignorance and having heard it referred to as a worm at some point. You'd think a big company like CNN would have a tech guy who'd call them on it though. Still what do they care, as long as they're scaring the living #### out of everyone...

So, any possibility of a "Mutiny from MS-dependance Bounty" instead? Anyone?
