The most heinous and barbaric crime in this world would
be to stop an individual from thinking freely. And when such a crime is "legalized" in the form of a "religion," one can easily
imagine how disastrous it can be.
"Islam" is such a "religion" !!!
Islam imposes a threat to the whole world ... which is
far worse than deforestation, nuclear destruction or AIDS. It is an insidious, devilish disease creeping into the veins of
the world. Every individual must realize the destructive and evil nature of this religion, for it eats away at the very foundation
of humanity, which is ...
The individual's ability to think individually and act
accordingly !!!

High-tech phones bring virus potent - Cell phone viruses only seen in labs so far

STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) -- Malicious programs that can delete address books. Junk messages that flood a cell phone's inbox.
Stealthy code that uses Bluetooth wireless technology to sneak onto handsets.
Scared yet? Security experts say plagues like these will target mobile phones, but others contend cell phone viruses are
the tech equivalent of smallpox: To the best of anyone's knowledge, they exist only in labs.
"We've had no reports of people actually seeing these viruses in their daily use," said Graham Cluley, a senior technology
consultant with London's Sophos PLC. "The only reports we've seen documented are antivirus researchers sending them to each
other in their labs."
Japanese phone company NTT DoCoMo already sells phones with built-in antivirus software from McAfee Inc., and McAfee expects
similar phones to be available in the United States and Europe in 2005.
But worried chatters should know that security experts this year found only five viruses that target mobile phones, and
all of them were created and contained within labs, Cluley said.

Where I suspect most of the other viri are created.
I suspect that some companies paid fees for new viruses so they could come out with a fix, while others paid fees
for pre-made fixes. It's a self perpetuating business -- free money if you will.
