They've both been bailed, so presumably they're now furiously DBAN'ing everything they own.

South Park Creators Given Signed Photo of Saddam Hussein 1297

Posted by samzenpus on Thursday April 09, 2009 @12:55AM from the respect-my-authority dept.

Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the creators of South Park, were given a very special gift by US marines: a signed photo of Saddam Hussein. During his captivity, the marines forced Saddam to repeatedly watch the movie South Park: Bigger, Longer And Uncut, which shows him as the boyfriend of Satan. Stone said, "We're very proud of our signed Saddam picture and what it means. It's one of our biggest highlights."

Other similarities between the adapted Neeris worm and Conficker are that it downloads a copy of the worm from the attacking machine using HTTP, spreads via autorun, and uses a driver to patch the TCP/IP layer of the system. It even saw a traffic jump around the first of April, when the Conficker hype peaked. But the Microsoft researchers suggested Conficker may have copied Neeris, or that they're copying each other: "It is possible that these miscreants somehow collaborate or at least are aware of each other's 'products'.""

Then we can chop them down, make them into paper, and replant.

The paper gets the TPS report printed on it, then gets buried in landfill, thus sequestering the CO2 safely in the earth until it gets converted back into fossil fuel in the distant future.

Windows Chief Suggests Vista Won't Need Antivirus 361

LadyDarth writes "During a telephone conference with reporters yesterday, outgoing Microsoft co-president Jim Allchin, while touting the new security features of Windows Vista, which was released to manufacturing yesterday, told a reporter that the system's new lockdown features are so capable and thorough that he was comfortable with his own seven-year-old son using Vista without antivirus software installed."
