3/30    Wouldn't it be strange that someone smart enough to write such a
        "cool" virus as Melissa is stupid enough to not remove any ID from
        the file?
        \_ How do you know the ID belongs to the melissa creator?
           \_ Exactly, that's my point.  But the FBI seems to think otherwise.
                \_ It's the FBI and CIA!  How can they possibly be wrong?
        \_ any moron could have written that virus, and any dufus now can
           modify it from source code to wreak more destructive havoc.  MS
           will pay for gaping, obvious holes in Office 97 macro security.

3/21    what are these virus phages? Can they be repurposed?
        \_ are you <b>insane?</b> you really want to start messing with
           recombinant <ul>rna</ul> crap when we don't even understand
           the normal virus lifecycle?

5/7     Help, I think something's wrong with my network setting. I'd go to
        a web site, and then it would say "cannot find address". Then I'd
        reload again, occassionally 3 times, to load the page. Is this
        due to DNS being too slow, TTL setting, or something else?
        \_ windows mac or linux ?
           \_ windows (company issued laptop, no alternative)

12/1    Just curious -- what do you guys generally use soda for? Why do you
        log on? Personally, I use it to keep a presence on IRC and AIM/gTalk
        at all times, and mess around with some Python programming (been
        setting up Twisted and such so I can play with making an irc bot).
        --toulouse

3/4     Hi, what's the best free anti-virus software for XP?  What about
        anti-spyware?  Currently I'm using Active Virus Shield and Spybot.
        Thanks.
        \_ I've used: avg, spybot s&d, adaware, trend micro's housecall.
           \_ Does Spybot S&D protect Firefox?  It soulds like the injection
              feature only supports IE.
