Interesting approach. It will be more interesting if it works. 250 large might just do the trick.Microsoft is offering a $250,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the virus writers behind the infamous Conficker (Downadup) worm.
The bounty, announced Thursday, represents a revival of Microsoft's mothballed Anti-virus Reward Program, launched in 2003 and virtually moribund since 2004.

There's also a band called Dead or Alive; They're Briddish, mostly out of Liverpool. They stayed at a hotel I was working at about 10 years ago. Lead singer is a transvestite, he delayed the show because he has stage fright and had to have his pump primed with a bottle of vodka before he'd leave the hotel. Next morning he ate breakfast with the other guests, still in his drag stage outfit, which caused a certain amount of eyebrow-liftage from the other guests, as you might imagine.
