Parent is correct: Biological viruses are like complex SQL injections that cause the host software to send out copies of the injection code. However, they are not executable on their own.

Absolutely. Its not like I missed a / in a tag somewhere.

"If Nine Inch Nails is having problems with censorship and approval what kind of problems are you having with the iPhone app approval process?"

None at all.

When asked to justify his Moderation Bonus, kdawdson stated to congress "You see, the internet isn't just a series of tubes that you can climb over. Its more like a car: Its going really fast, no one wants to fill the tank, and no one pays attention to the hood until there is a flame war."
Congressman Don Young of Alaska was heard to reply "The wheels on the internet go round and round, round and round, round and round, the wheels on the internet go round and round all night long."
