digipoi Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 Now the question is what kind of punishment should he be awarded for causing millions of dollars worth of damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughing-Man Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 (edited) Why is there a reference for Counter-Strike in there? That is one of the most random things ever put into an article. They were talking about his friends and he needed help with a program then all of a sudden, boom, Counter-Strike is in there.

Boffa Jones Veteran Posted September 1, 2003 Veteran Share Posted September 1, 2003 Because national news still needs to infomr itself on videogaems. Its like tlaking about a killer and then mentioning he plays chess, millions of people do it! just because a few do somet8ing wrong doesnt mean the games is the problem..silly news agencies.

Laughing-Man Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 That would have been funny if they put, "He also spent a considerable amount of time playing Dance Dance Revolution, MPR reported." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poind Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 Well, intentionally unleashing viruses/worms will have their consequences. Do hope the media don't treat this guy as the true source/problem-solved for PR's sake and can remember he "just" did a variant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glowstick Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 Acting as if he wouldnt have known the effect his virus would have had? A VARIATION OF ONE OF THE FASTEST SPREADING VIRII??? Gimme a f'n break! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
