Man infects self with Computer virus

Icculus · 05-26-2010, 09:12 PM

interesting story. The computers in question must have been granting access to him somehow. Seems like it would be easy enough to block this sort of thing.. Otherwise what's to stop people from wandering around with a chip designed to stop pacemakers or affect traffic lights or hack electronic billboards or... i'm sure you could think of all sorts of malicious things to do.

What an interesting heading, Man infects self with Computer virus. I was just surfing through the blog and the heading of this post caught my attention. It’s really an interesting piece of information that University of Reading researcher Mark Gasson has become the first human known to be infected by a computer virus and the virus, infecting a chip implanted in Gasson's hand, passed into a laboratory computer. I have really enjoyed reading this post and will definitely share this interesting information with all my friends.Analytics For Facebook

that's what I thought, every post was on point and pretty amusing to read

Did you know this bot has friends?! lol

I spent 25 minutes trying to find out if this is an actual bot.

I failed.

Edit: At closer examination I can confirm that this is indeed a bot. Whoop de doo.

I am so glad you guys figured out that he is a bot. I hope that the proper course of action will be taken, meaning of course that he is banned. I'm so happy that there are people patrolling these forums trying to make sure that the only people talking here are real people and not machines trying to spam the board and eventually attempt to peddle their wares to me on the cheap.

Your opinion on this subject has really interested me, Etzell. I am so happy to know that many other individuals on this message board share the same opinion that bots are an absolute annoyance. I take in consideration the lack of a life one must be in posession of to spend their time tinkering with these bots to a level of fluency that would persuade the person of average intelligence of its supposed status as a real human being. I have really enjoyed this post and will definitely share this interesting information with all of the other bots on my network of hijacked connections.
