ev0| Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 TrendMicro folks are saying this is a new virus. Regardless, salute the CNN idiots for not updating their software and virus definitions. :p 586387133[/snapback] It's not going to be in the definitions if it's a new virus is it ? :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrendMicro guy told Wolf Blitzer off, yet they still try to make it a big deal because of their computers going down. CNN definetely needs a new IT staff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWahbinator Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 off topic but is it me or was there a windows 96? 586387187[/snapback] No, that was the cancelled "Nashville", Windows 95 with IE integration which became Windows 98 :pinch: BTW, in the background I saw one of the computers show the timed shutdown box -- they must be really h4x0r3d.

Fedorpheux Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Lol, They just refered to Windows 97 as a previous version of Windows. 586387182[/snapback] they also referred to windows 99 ...and wolfie said something about "Microsoft XP".....no need for the word "Windows" i guess.... sounds to me like CNN got hit because of their crappy luck and crappy IT department and they want to make it look like they weren't the only ones that got hit, even though they are.....wolfie was like "We have looked into it and the United Nations appears to be fine as does the stock market ticker......etc" lol, duh :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
