Sasser.F and Gaobot.AJD are out today. I guess someone is trying to make a point that the two guys they arrested in Germany on Saturday really aren't the ones (or at least the only ones) responsible for the Sasser and Gaobot virii families.

Speaking of virii, my stinking Linux box got a virus somehow. Not only that, but the Trend 'ChipAwayVirus(R) On Guard ver. 1.65' (that I previously thought was compatible with Linspire) now says that the operating system isn't compatible with it. Not only that, but (of course) none of the online virus scanners will work with Linux. Not only that, but stinkin' Linspire wants to charge for every single update and upgrade in the book, despite the fact that I've got a fully-registered version of it. Not only that, but Linspire suffers from the same "num lock" being disabled at boot time problem that some unpatched WinXP systems do. And if that weren't enough, Linspire doesn't know what to do with BitDefender Linux Edition v7's .RPM, .RUN, and .DEB files. (Double-clicking them doesn't do anything, as there are no extension associations, and running them from a Terminal command line results in permissions errors; CHMOD'ing them to 777 and re-running them results in yet more errors.) And on top of that, Linspire has locked up twice in 2 days. Linux blows.

Watched "A Wrinkle in Time" last night on channel 8. It's one of Misti's favorite books.
