| | Sykipot is not a new Trojan Horse by any means, but the variation found to be attacking Department of Defense smart cards is certainly something that government agencies need to be worried about.

 | And how, exactly, would you suggest 'work the most' is measured? Time spent online, number of spammers banned, number of PMs read and replied to, yada yada yada. Seriously, we've been down this road before with threads suggesting some kind of 'best mod' competition or vote and it always ends … |
