The media can even demonize a daemon.

I'm trying to look at cnn.com to check the latest news so I can read the latest deal with the FBI and those people who smurfed eTrade.
Usual bullshit involved.

``The official said these tools, called daemons, can be planted on hundreds of innocent third-party computers''
Fuck the media. I can't believe how these idiots manipulate words. I remember when they first started using the word ``hacker'' to describe a computer miscreant. These are the same dipshits that first coined the term ``thug'' to mean some sort of bad guy. Now ``daemon.''

  • 1. Thugs: not bad guys, an Indian group in the British East India Company territory.
  • 2. Hackers: not DoS specialists. not ``daemon'' planters. Computer zealots who bring a minicomputer up from not booting to running i486 hubble space probe calculations for NASA. Hackers are well paid individuals.
  • 3. Daemon: an automated piece of computer software, cnn.commericalbullshit.turner.color.black&white/movies?casablanca+casaroja.
    Any program that is ``planted'' is a Trojan Horse.
