worm

The worm gear drives the flat gear, naturally, which catches the snail-cam and drives it forward.

Friends of mine who are much smarter than me thought the worm might have just been a cover for direct sabotage.

Since I miss eve wormholes so much I thought I'd entertain myself with some reminiscing.

Due to some better configuration defaults, the impact of the worm on Sun was minimal.

Imagine being able to run your own experiments on a simulation first without having to buy and breed your own worms.

The end goal is to get the model to the point where if you run an experiment on the virtual worm, you can be certain you'll get the same results on the real worm.

My main fear with something like bitcoin is this: imagine a virus or worm that infects machines and then transfers all bitcoin found on that machine to an anonymous address.

For one thing, the worm can't survive in any form outside humans for any significant period of time; there's no dormant form that can lurk in the soil or water, and it apparently can't infect other animals.

For instance, when the Code Red worm was released, Schneier blamed the team that found the vulnerability: We shouldn't lose sight of who is really to blame for this problem. It's not the system administrators who didn't install the patch in time, or the firewall and IDS vendors whose products didn't catch the problem. It's the authors of the worm and its variants, eEye for publicizing the vulnerability, and especially Microsoft for selling a product with this security problem.

This is the sort of person that I want to be engaged with:* highly opinionated* driven by personal interest* not afraid to go down the worm hole and come up with little public recognition and enormous personal gainThis is the sort of project that makes me grin:* highly engrossing project page* mysterious motivations* unknown implications* legally ambiguousI love this shit.
