 DC> But there should be some sort of investigators on the internet...
        No, there shouldn't. Maybe you'd like someone coming into your house
and telling you what you should eat, and drink, and oh, by the way, your
daughter is pregnant, but she's eating healthy, but...
 DC> talking about big sting operations. Just some sort of moderation to

 DC> chase the people down...  Just delete thier internet stuff from the
 DC> host... That in itself is punishment in itself...
        Since they can't delete anything without proper permissions, and on a
properly configured server, they can't get to ANYTHING other than the
documents served to them, they can't do a thing but *ASK* that the SysAdmin
ask the user to take them down, many of which would tell them to f___ off.
 DC> As per my reply to Rick, there's people out there distributing VIRUS
 DC> Source code...  Very illigal, not to mention immoral as far as a
 DC> computer junkie is concerned...
        It is *NOT* illegal to distribute virus source code. It is illegal in
several states to distribute virus EXECUTABLES, however, but source code is
*NOT* illegal, just like the Bomb Plans I explained earlier.
 DC> Sure...  Many people go, "Hey! I'd like to see that source code..."
 DC> but not many of them think of that when they are hit hard by a virus
 DC> that caused them to loose EVERYTHING!  then they are winning that that
 DC> shouldn't have happened...
        You seem to have watched Independance Day one too many times. 
emember
the part where Jeff Goldblum typed in "EXECUTE" into the source code of the
virus while it was in an IDE compiler, and it ran.. HAAHaHaHaHAHahA....
        Virus source code is nothing but text, and can't harm anything other
than a reader's patience. It does nothing. It has to be compiled and executed
to be harmful.
 DC> All in all... See rule #1...
        All in all... refute Rule #1, and proceed onto Rule #2...
... It looks like a flying purple people eater!
