a dream? last nite CNN was hysterical about a virus taking down p.c.s

said the worm hit CNN, ABC, Caterpillar, some in Congress, etc.

high energy, taking 1/2 hr. of Dobb's show to talk about worm (much to Dobb's annoyance) Dobb's voice was shaky.

and so to bed, thinking this a.m. there would be talk about the worm attacking certain media and Caterpillar etc.

but no

I've seen very little on the worm and that little made it seem like it attacked grouped p.c.s (or whatever the right word is)

I feel like I glimpsed a reality that is now hidden

1. CNN or Wolf Blitzer?
How lame can CNN and Wolf be? Their best program "Lou Dobbs" was shortened by a half hour. :kick:

4. yes, right after it happened 3pm? the reports made it sound like

a targeted attack. and CNN was puzzled why msn called it a small, mild problem.

but msn did have a free patch for personal p.c.s just in case. they gave this ad/propaganda numerous times. to the point that I wondered if money was involved some way.

They mentioned other media, etc. but I can't remember which ones. I was cheering on the worm.

3. LBN post last night about it hitting some banks in Canada
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=102&topic_id=1706883

and a DUer said their network at work was down due to it.

There is a worm out there, but of course Leslie Blitzer went WAY overboard.

Is he trying to land a movie part? ;)
