Bah!!!

"Female" hackers? What will they think of next?

Come to think of it, I have been following progress of institutes where gorillas and orangutans work on computers. Imagine, the first "animal" virus when one of these primates suddenly develops an over-swelled brain!

Well I can see the unfortunate headline already:

"Monkeys develop computer AIDS."

Hopefully, they are smarter that we have been and don't bother.

hm. I saw that TechTV episode with her in it. Wondered why would she want to be on TV anyway and risk being blamed for stuff.

Because for most it is one long ego trip and some can't resist more upclose and personal attention.

Concerning Monkeys, I saw this today:

"What is MonkeyShell 1.0? It's the latest most effective software protection system every yet developed. MonkeyShell wraps around your program like a banana, which can only be peeled using the correct security encryption keys. MonkeyShell was created at MonkeyLabs, where primates work day in and day out to provide a better protection for your use. Here are some key features of MonkeyShell 1.0:

1. Wraps your program like a banana peel. No code executes until the correct encryption key is entered. Also code named "slippery protection" because just when the cracker thinks he has a foothold to the system, it changes and slips out from their grasp.

2. Gorilla proof. No more gorillas cracking your programs with brute force.

3. Primate friendly. No special tools are required to use MonkeyShell 1.0, other than a common stick.

These and a few other undocumented features (to ensure security) are all yours to use with MonkeyShell 1.0. Download your free trial today and crank up the handle"

Well I also read an interview with her in a Belgian magazine... I mean.. how stupid can you get?! Write virusses, make a public website, then boast about it everywhere you can.

As I said. One long ego trip.
