I Can Haz Virus

,----[ Quote ]
| A virus run in Wine is akin to taking a 
| ferocious tiger out of the jungle, paralyzing 
| it, then hooking up all of its nerve endings 
| to virtual jungle simulator. It's not a 
| perfect simulation, though, so the jungle 
| maybe doesn't look right, and plus there's an 
| omnipotent power that can change anything 
| that goes on in the simulation, or even 
| destroy it and the tiger's consciousness with 
| a few twitches of his fingers. Now that's 
| power.
