I just found this little morsel saved to my desktop from last Friday. I think I was about to publish it, when I sensed that some catastrophe was imminent, and hurriedly copied and pasted the whole thing into a file for later publication. God bless my ninja-like cut & paste ability:
I can’t prove it yet, and I don’t know how to explain it, but I know that something big and good is going to come out of the kind of thinking that is engendered by computer viruses. Of course, like with everything Congress is hold hearings about how to stamp out viruses. Their solutions include ridiculous things like “computing ethics education for children” and “criminalizing sharing tools and information about viruses online”. Simply retarded. Clamping down is pretty much the last thing that’s going to work. If a virus is all about forcing systems to bend and be flexible, the way to stop them is not by becoming even more inflexible. It is by making your computer system into one which is totally flexible, so much so, that a virus isnt dangerous to it any more.
