So being an up-to-date 21st Century guy, I naturally check my Emails everyday. I know to ignore any that offer "penis enlargements" or "you are a winner!" emails. I even know what SPAM is. I love spam fritters but thats away from the point. Today I have learned that the Zero sector is where the important information is stored on your hard disk (that is the mother board). I even recieved an email bearing the warning:
"If you receive a mail called' POSTCARD,' even though sent to you by a friend, do not open it! Shut down your computer immediately. This is the worst virus announced by CNN. It has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive virus ever. This virus was discovered by McAfee yesterday, and there is no repair yet for this kind of virus. This virus simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Disc, where the vital information is kept."
Doom and gloom indeed, however I will heed the warning. If CNN are scared then I suppose that I should be too. Why people see the need to want to destroy my hard disk I don't know. Some spotty, yellowy git in some dimly lit room with "Dungeons and Dragons" posters on the wall and a distain for authority, ok so I generalise - I love D&D and have been known to suffer from an incy inferiority complex but Hackers, whats the need? Do something constructive with your computing skills, like solve the credit crunch or tackle childhood literacy issues. Don't waste my time and everyone elses by being a prat. So what have I learned today? Computer viruses are man made, the zero sector is the proper name for the info-storing segment, hard disky, drivey thing and I'm getting bored of SPAM emails, no matter how much vital info they store.
Right I'm off to play D&D - brace yourself Dungeon Master, for I have up-levelled and am henceforth more mighty!!
