W32.Cone is now at version D. Its another one of your typical spoof from address, harvest emails, and spread virus. Some messages that it generates actually admit to this though:

I write it to say : we dont want islamic republic in IRAN!
Im realy sorry, Im damaging some computers that I dont want to damage!!!!

Remember to patch your Norton/McAfee/AVG/ClamAV against this and the daily release of NetSky.

I will be quitting UO at the end of this week. Permanently. And, to dissuade myself from coming back, I plan on getting rid of all my belongings and houses, deleting all my characters, and getting banned from the service. I have 2 accounts that need to be purged like this. If you play UO, this is your chance to get free stuff from me.

I am open to ideas for getting my accounts banned. So far, Ive come up with 1) page a GM, and when he shows up, cuss him out like crazy and 2) page for a GM asking for help in getting an exploit to work

Yes, genius. Call me before you call the person you want just so I can tell you if they are there or not. Actual phone transcript follows:

“Hey Jim, its ___ in Minnesota. Is ___ there?”
“Yes, shes here. Is she not answering her phone?”
“Oh no, I havent tried yet. I was just calling you to find out if shes there. Can you transfer me?”

Martha Stewart has been found guilty on all 4 charges relating to her insider trading. Her stock broker, Bacanovic, was found guilty on 4 of the 5 charges against him. Trading on the NYSE for Marthas company has been halted.

CNN is reporting that NASA will be making a statement regarding recent discoveries by the Mars rovers. Obviously it will be water-related, unless they got pictures of (according to eric) a little green man whacking it Hmmm….

Update – Disappointing. They have found evidence of previous water on Mars. Woop-de-doo, didnt we all but know that for a fact already? Cmon, I was at least hoping for an actual water finding or something.
