>I'm helping to remove an infection from a fellow's computer. I have removed two root kits and forteen trojans, but one MBR virus was lurking on the HD and I found it this morning.

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
