Virus writers/hackers.
There is a cliche of computer users, especially those that are "133t" and "haxxor" etc as being fat loners with monitor tans and a sheen of unhealthy perspiration that covers their pasty face.
Think a fat Gollum that likes Star Trek and you're not far off.
Basement dwellers that pick holes in sci-fi movies and are frightened of women, sociopaths that want to strike down people's computers to make up for the fact that they were bullied at school for being...well...nerdlingers with no social grace.
But that's not true is it? I mean, we're not like that so why should these uber-geeks that spend time creating viruses right?
Wrong:

Sorry to say that one glance at his pic makes me realise just how spot-on our preconceptions of hackers/virus writers are. I can hear him clicking send and chortling “Worst Virus ever”, before his basement door is opened and a shaft of light is thrown down, whereupon he throws his arm across his eyes and hisses “it burns usss” and scuttling under his bed.
Fat Geek causes chaos to make up for being a…well…fat geek.
And I bet you he loves The Darkness.

Yes, it was quite an unfortunate turn of phrase.

I bet he gets out in a couple of years and ends up working for a huge software firm. Anyone who can create such a destructive virus is clearly talented, albeit misguided and a cook sucker. I think that he should be punished as his malacious deed was intended to p everyone off.
In fact they could make an example of him and kill him till he's dead.
It's the same as the fools that messed about with the coding here.
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
But it's the internet allowing anonymity, you feel there's no consequence but there is.
Tubbs there found that out, people here found that out when they got banned.
The very idea that he sat and designed a little programme that annoyed other users makes me want to hit him in the gut, not that he would feel it. That thing would repel bullets.
I bet he smells.
