I didn't realize Dunn got such a bad rap in Cincinnati. It seems he's been unfliray criticized throughout his career. Remember when then-Blue Jays GM J.P. Ricciardi was asked on a radio show about trading for Dunn and he responded by saying that Dunn doesn't really like or have a passion for baseball, and that he's a lifetime .240 hitter who strikes out a lot? Dunn took exception to that, and rightfully so. I was in Toronto for the World Baseball Classic the following spring, and Dunn got booed. What's Ricciardi doing now? Working for the Mets. Enough said.

To be fair, I strongly ssucept writing and releasing a virus really is illegal in Japan as elsewhere - destruction of property; sabotage; illegal intrusion; and perhaps unauthorized wiretapping, attempted fraud and breach of privacy as well, depending on what the code was designed to accomplish. And for good and bad (mostly bad to be sure) copyright violation really is a crime, and this is one rare instance where the holder of the IP can fairly argue that they incur a real if minor loss, in the strongly negative association with the malicious code.Yes, using something like this to push a government campaign is distasteful and even unnerving. But that does not mean the creep who got arrested didn't fully deserve to be. The world is not made up of polar opposites, where the opposite of something bad must therefore be good. That's the kind of oversimplification that has caused Bush to do a lot of harm as a result, for instance.

Have you seen the BBC lately? It's so full of gnemrnevot and MI6 crap that it's sickening. There's also the question of the journalist at Forbes, Benjamin Fulford, saying that he discovered the creator of a virus was the leading anti-virus software company in Japan. This is not what an establishment magazine wants to hear.I don't know any of the details, but it sounds about right for this old world.
