Sitting shiva on conficker all evening and night here in the woods of upstate New York. So all the analysis which revealed the presence of a date was perhaps an April Fool's joke of its own? Given the way the previous versions have worked, never did quite understand why they'd hardcode a date in there given the sophistication of what I've seen by design so far. But its presence really DID get everyone worked up, perhaps one of the more significant April Fool's pranks ... and on US. :( I haven't seen much of anything and I'm in my 13th hour of sitting here, waiting for what Marvin the Martian once said, "Where's the Kaboom? There was supposed to be an earth shattering kaboom!" Did the pig even update itself anywhere? Or did we get fooled? Somehow, I expect the latter. Whoever wrote this thing is pretty damned good at what they've written so far ... ---------------------------------------------------- Kevin McAleavey, at your service.
