     Windows boobs are victims of ILOVEYOU and other email viruses. I realize
     Outlook is so insecure that using it is like posting a sign outside your
     door saying, "DOOR UNLOCKED -- ROB ME!". However, Linux isn't immune. If I
     had a dollar for every pine buffer overflow uncovered, I could buy a
     truckload of fresh herring.

I expect the next mass email virus to spread will be cross-platform. If
     the recipient is a Windows/Outlook luser, they'll get hit. If the
     recipient is a Linux/pine user, they'll find themselves staring at a
     self-executing bash script that's has just allocated 1 petabyte of memory
     and crashed the system (or worse).

Either that or the next mass email virus will only damage Linux systems. I
     can just see Bill Gates assigning some junior programmer that very task.
