[OT] Linux and OS/2 virus

[John Drabik]

I though a few of you might enjoy this:


"Dear Linux or OS/2 user:  You have been hit by the Honor System
Virus!  Please do the following at once:

	1) Send this message to everybody in your e-mail address
book.  Impress on your friends how important it is that follow each
of these steps!  This is no time to be a Weenie!
	2) Open a command window or a graphical file viewer, and
randomly delete files all over your system.  Do NOT cheat!  This is
the Honor System, after all.  If you cannot be counted on to delete
your own programs and data files, then who can you trust to do it for
you?  If you do not know which files to delete, that's OK - just
delete a whole bunch of them, just like those Windows viruses do. 
This is your chance to experience the thrill of lost data!
	3) To maximize the effect of the Honor System Virus, you
should select a number between 3 and 300.  Do it NOW, and do not
cheat!  Write the number down.  Now, turn off your computer, and
leave it off for the number of days that matches that number!  This
will completely simulate the feeling of hopelessness and despair that
your unfortunate Windows-using friends have experienced.  This is
only a simulation, of course, but by picking a large number, you too
can approach that state of nerdvana that Dozers enjoy so much!
	4) Unlike Melissa or ILOVEYOU and those other "Weenie
'95/'98/NT/2000" viruses, YOU have total control over this one!  It
was made for people who aren't afraid of a command line.  Hey, it's
the Honor System Virus after all!  As a result, you have flexibility
and power that no Dozer can match!  For example, after you turn your
computer back on, you can repeat steps 1-3 as often as you like!

	Don't forget: it's the Honor System Virus.  Do your part.  
;-)"
