<eat it> "...some operating systems would take potshots in the hopes of killing animals running wild." Very interesting. Zapping random bytes in unknown code will most likely halt it, but there's always the possibility of MUTATING it into something even worse! Maybe now it eats the OS instead of other user programs. Sorta like dropping a low-yield dirty tactical nuke on the other guy's recombinant DNA germ warfare lab..... mike k
