Quoting:

    Some BSD systems, such as FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD, are also at
    risk because they have the ability to emulate Linux a.out and ELF
    binaries.  Kaminski also said that Linux viruses were able to
    replicate - a problem that could result from not installing Linux
    libraries properly.

BULLSHIT!  Bgazei kaneis nohma apo thn parapano protash?
Kai o Kaminski pou leei oi oi linux virii `mporesan na kanoun
replicate', mporei na deijei *enan* tetoio virus?  I smell FUD.

    Joe Hartmann, director of antivirus research for North America at
    Trend Micro, said that most operating systems are at risk from
    buffer overflows because the C++ programming language they are
    based on has no buffer clean-up capability.

Yet more FUD.  Poia C++?  To Linux kernel einai grammeno se C kata to
megalutero pososto apo oti jero.  Kai ti sxesh exei to gegonos oti h
glossa den exei garbage allocation, me ta bugs pou oi programmatistes
epeidh den prosexoun kanoun?

To sugkekrimeno arthro einai apla asxeta quotes, mazemena apo asxeta
atoma, kai mporei aneta na xrhsimopoih8ei san paradeigma pros apofughn
gia ma8hteuomenous dhmosiografous.
