A new use for python

« H E python :: linux :: open source :: KDE :: email
posted 2009.02.18 Wed

Apparently, python is now the preferred language for gnome/kde virus/worm writing. Makes sense, it's preinstalled on most linux environments. (Take tongue out of cheek). WRT the actual virus, nothing really too surprising, other than the newbie linux netbook users who would probably be the most likely to get duped by something like this... Maybe there should be a "how (intelligently) to use a computer" class in elementary school, (so kids can come home and teach their parents).
