Does anyone really mind that it will be flooding the SCO web server?

Dont blame me...I didnt open it but I and others get to deal with the false notifications of failed emails, notifications from system admins saying we sent virus (they use the auto reply which uses the SPOOFED return/from address etc...

I really dont' think DDOSing a company will solve ANYTHING. SCO knows all too well they're hated, and they dont' care. This virus will do nothing but make them more dedicated to seeing Linux die at their hands.

Pretty stupid idea IMO.
