Code Red was a bundle of laughs

The following is an analysis of a worst case virulence for a computer worm, using existing mechanisms and a modified infection strategy. Such a "Warhol Worm" could infect every vulnerable machine in a 15 minute time period, outpacing human defense.

I'm not totally convinced by his timing analysis - I look forward to seeing the simulator results...

BiCon flats of six

The BiCon accommodation is organised in flats of six people. This year I want to be in a flat with purplerabbits and coracaskia. I've mailed Giolla and asked him to put our flat next to ergotia, Lily and countess_sophia's flat.

So we've got three spare spaces. Anyone not know where they're staying and want to share? adjectivemarcus, katyha and dr_d makes three, are you guys already sorted? Any other takers?

hoping to stay with some of you nice people,
