Geeze... Ignorant horse hockey.: 60% of the world hates the US. and 29% of those people live in the US. I can just imagin the call:

Hello Germany would you stop those severs from downloading the sober worm virus to the USA.

Yes we will get right on that.

Earth to IceTheNet...

This is NOT just a US problem. This is an international problem. Viruses are NOT limited to US borders. They're a GLOBAL epidemic.

No virus is smart enough (YET) to limit itself to ONLY computers located inside the US.

Therefore, it would be smart of the Germans to take those servers down before the due date. It's in their best interests to deal with the ISPs hosting them.

THINK about it. This isn't about liking or hating the US. This is about making themselves look good by dealing with the problem before it becomes a worldwide issue.; Posted by: Wolfie2K3 Posted on: 12/09/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
