William Gibson

We seldom legislate new technologies into being. They emerge, and we plunge with them into whatever vortices of change they generate. We legislate after the fact, in a perpetual game of catch-up, as best we can, while our new technologies redefine us - as surely and perhaps as terribly as we've been redefined by broadcast television.

"First PHP Virus": the Register (and its NOT the first)

the register has a story about PHP.neworld, this is a PHP virus that can infect insecurely setup systems, but not replicate onto other systenms. it is NOT the first PHP virus as the story proclaims. PHP.pirus came a while back (and is apparently a far more capable virus) and there were probably more before that (makes you wonder about the "security firm" that uncovered this "first" and plans to add defs?)

check this previous TotSP story about pirus. "First PHP Virus": the Register (and its NOT the first)
