First Let's Kill All the Hackers

I have a stupid question, but having just spent nearly an hour trying to list something on eBay only to have the screen crash yet again, what I would like to know is this: Why do they never find, arrest, and punish people who put viruses on computers? Is it done by little green men on Mars? Is it a First Amendment thing? Are they too busy offering them cushy high-paying jobs? Are they all out in the wilds of China/Nigeria/Finland/Antartica/Fiji or wherever? Are most of them actually software problems?

More to the point, is there any way I can find me one and break all his fingers? It would make me feel so much better, even if it was only a token strike.

Revere Rides Again,

Calm down. It may have just been that there was something wrong with your computer. It could just be a minor glitch or something. Stuff like that has happened to me before. Hopefully its not a virus. Worse case scenario, if you can't find what's causing it, back up your entire hard drive, delete everything and than reinstall everything. Its probably not a hacker. It may just be your computer.

RRA,
Was that you in that photo of the Rifqa Rally over at Atlas the other day?

Maybe done by the Jihadists, purposely to "KILL OFF" your blog?

JP,
No, I would've been the one in the Kurt Westergard Mo'Da Bomb t-shirt if I had been there, but I wasn't. I couldn't make it out to the rally. It was just one long state too far to drive. Why the heck couldn't the Barys have moved to Scranton instead?

Well, I'm glad you don't want to cut my head off.

As we say here in Dar al-Harb, thank God for small favors.
