You Point Being?

I wanted only to say, that although I think that [almost] everyone should apply updates to the programs they use, most importantly security patches/upates to remotely exploitable bugs (if their machine is remotely exploitable), I don't think that availability of source code means lower security. Example: Linux, FreeBSD vs. MS Windows; Mozilla vs. Internet Explorer; Apache vs. IIS --- one canot say about the last pair that it is open source unpopular vs. majority market proprietary.

I'm sorry about causing uptimesize war...

The LOL was meant to show I was just being an ass. Something I'm quite good at actually. (I don't think that's a good thing though.)  Don't mind me, I'm not quite here today.

way i ask a stupid question . well i am gonna eny wey

why are there viruses its a qoestion i get ask by my perants and techer like every day and i cant really seem to anwer them in a good manner , true most pepole say "the one true plesure is to hurt others " (hmm dosent translet well "den sanna gldjen r skade gldje"

and some people tend to answer that the hackers can use your comp for stuff by infecting you , but that dosent make eny sence if they dont work eny more so that leeds me to ask why , ( you gyes seem to be the bunch who have had answered this qestion more times then i have , so mabye you have a better answer)

The short answer is that some people actually make money from viruses. They set up your computer to act as a zombie machine that relays their viruses and spam to other people, without any chance of getting caught. People used to do it for kicks, but nowadays it seems like they mostly do it so they don't get caught in the middle of something illegal.

Viruses nowadays rarely completely cripple the computer. It's more valuable to the idiots that write them if the machine is availible for other uses.

Swedish dosm't translate well to English at all, i think. We have too many words and constructs that simply can't be translated while keeping it pure. I'm not sure there is a word that covers skadegldje either... At least i can't remeber it right now.

afaik that works way better with german.... ;D hehe..
at least with this example..
