If it finds it, it kills it, then kills itself. >If it doesn't find it, it just kills itself. So where's the problem? Well the only potential "problem" is who codes it and how good they are. If it's some dipshit flunkie, like Mr. "Unknown" up there, then you could run into all sorts of potential problems, including your worm being taken over and used for any number of malicious purposes. It would need to be coded *VERY* carefully and ideally as absolutely simplistic as possible. But even in the worst case scenario, a failed or exploited worm with severely limited capabilities would be *FAR* preferable to the original worm it was designed to take out. -- Onideus Mad Hatter mhm � x � http://www.backwater-productions.net http://www.uncensored-inter.net Hatter Quotes ------------- "Freedom, true freedom, is nothing more than intellectual advantage over others." "When I listen to people I don't really listen to what it is they're saying, so much as what they're saying it for." "Don't ever fuck with someone who has more creativity than you do." "You're only one of the best if you're striving to become one of the best." "I didn't make reality, Sunshine, I just verbally bitch slapped you with it." "I'm not a professional, I'm an artist." "Usenet Filters - Learn to shut yourself the fuck up!" "Drugs killed Jesus you know...oh wait, no, that was the Jews, my bad." "The more I learn the more I'm killing my idols." "Is it wrong to incur and then use the hate ridden, vengeful stupidity of complete strangers in random Usenet froups to further my art?" "Freedom is only a concept, like race it's merely a social construct that doesn't really exist outside of your ability to convince others of its relevancy." "Next time slow up a lil, then maybe you won't jump the gun and start creamin yer panties before it's time to pop the champagne proper." "Reality is directly proportionate to how creative you are." "People are pretty fucking high on themselves if they think that they're just born with a soul. *snicker*...yeah, like they're just givin em out for free." "How sad that you're such a poor judge of style that you can't even properly gauge the artistic worth of your own efforts." "Those who record history are those who control history." "I am the living embodiment of hell itself in all its tormentive rage, endless suffering, unfathomable pain and unending horror...but you don't get sent to me...I come for you." "Ideally in a fight I'd want a BGM-109A with a W80 250 kiloton tactical thermonuclear fusion based war head." "Tell me, would you describe yourself more as a process or a function?" "Apparently this group has got the market cornered on stupid. Intelligence is down 137 points across the board and the forecast indicates an increase in Webtv users." "Is my .sig delimiter broken? Really? You're sure? Awww, gee...that's too bad...for YOU!" `, )
