Warning

So I'm studying for this Internet Programming final, and came across a slide that we didn't go over in class. It has this warning on it:
I had to laugh. It was in the network security slides. We really need to work on this. I especially liked the implementation details: "It is already possible for an assassin to send someone an e-mail with an innocent-looking attachment connected to it. When the receiver downloads the attachment, the electrical current and molecular structure of the central processing unit is altered, causing it to blast apart like a large hand grenade."

I'm glad I have been going through these class slides a second time so I am aware of the dangers I need to protect my computer (and my family).

I also liked the ... disk drive on the computer.. is that a 5 1/2 or 5 3/4 inch floppy? (My kids won't even know what a floppy disk is) (Thanks to wikipedia, I just found out it's a 5 1/4 inch drive) Perhaps hackers were exploiting the explosive properties of the floppy drives. As a precautionary measure, computer manufacturers opted for safer, less hazardous optical DVD drives..
