| Couldn't see this coming could you? I for one am glad - It'll be interesting to see their next move. Wonder if they'll bring out the lawyers and start another botched attempt at censoring? What we share with everyone is glum, and dark... |

| Well AACS and CSS and whatever, will never deter the hardcore people from doing whatever they want, but it does force normal less technically minded people to buy a fully compatible set up and it will prevent them from illegally copying. An average dude with a dvd burner will know he can't copy DVDs, it won't work. Assuming the average dude doesn't type "CSS decrypt" in google, then CSS has done its job |

| yeah its that easy "copy game" is another good example (gamecopyworld as the 1st link) the only thing the AACS has one is keep the people who make it out of the job center. and as it keeps getting cracked they keep needing to fix it. its a lot like antivirus companies being dependant on the thing they are trying to combat, virus writers go away and so do they.

| Thats not the first time it's been asked I'm sure i read somewhere that the number of viruses actually out in the wild is really small compaired to the number the virus makers quote as being able to detect. Most of them really only exist in thier labs are are pretty much academic proof of concepts. |

| Anti Virus' wouldn't be needed if Windows was like OSX, ie not full of gaping holes. But look at the times Virus' did actually cause a problem - Blasterworm, I Love You, etc, all brought a fair few machines to their knees....  ʎɐqǝ uo pɹɐoqʎǝʞ ɐ ʎnq ı ǝɯıʇ ʇsɐן ǝɥʇ sı sıɥʇ. |

I've always thought the most prolific virus would be a sort of three-headed one, where each part attacked a different OS (i.e. Linux, Mac, Windows), then dragged the other two through with it for the next attack. When the playing ground is levelled, it would be interesting to see just who's OS comes out the best... 1.21 GIGAWATTS!!!!!  |
