Ron Lindeboom's Blog

I just listened to COW leader Aharon Rabinowitz's commentary that ran on NPR. In it, he explores how human beings create one of the most insidious forms of computer virus, the "let's forward a warning about a new virus to all our friends and associates" strand.

I had to chuckle at some of the points that Aharon expresses in his four minute commentary in which he uses analogies drawn from sex education classes in school.

But in the end, it's something that I was thinking of forwarding along as a link to all my friends and associates that think they need to email me every time a new virus comes out. If you are one of these friends, here's the link...

Consider yourself warned.

Woo Hoo! Didn't know we had a new forum with Aharon to discuss Sex on the internet! How cool is that?!? And Aharon of all people........ to do a forum....... oohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..... wait..... ooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

He's using lessons from Sex Education to illustrate his discussion on computer viruses. Whoops. Well, heck yeah I'm all for that. You may return to your normal programming.

And a mighty congrats to Aharon!

Aharon Rabinowitz practices safe internet
by Aharon Rabinowitz on Feb 5, 2008

Thank you, sir, for putting the word out. Much appreciated.

For the record, there was a time I didn't practice safe internet. It was during college and everyone was experimenting with the "World Wide Web." Yeah, I typed a few things with the keyboard, but I swear I didn't download. Well, maybe once or twice, but I didn't know any better back then. But times change, and I am all grown up now...

And folks, if you enjoyed the piece, feel free to let NPR know. On the other hand, if you didn't like it, please don't let anyone know .
