Its our dear friend SJVN with a commentary on how the recently covered Chuck Norris virus isn’t actually a virus. While its known that the the virus infects routers by guessing passwords, SJVN tells us that its not really Linux’s fault since it the user is insecure by not changing passwords.
While SJVN at least does not stoop this low, at least, but I have no doubt that Freetard echo chamber would use this in the same breath as calling out Windows for its insecurities. Never mind that NT has a richer security model than Linux and it is the Linux youth themselves who suggest users disable UAC.

“Windows malware, whether it comes in the form of a Trojan, virus, or worm, works by exploiting security holes in either the operating system itself or an application.”
Malware on other systems works by sprinkling MagicPixieDust™, which make it perfectly acceptable.
Funny how SJVN names Internet Explorer, though IE8 has actually a lot fewer security holes than Firefox 3.5 did, according to Secunia.
Also notice how he remarks the “inherited security” Linux features. Even more funny is, he links that to a post of himself where he explains how a DLL is an IPC technology and how Windows is so insecure because it allows such “IPCs” from user-level.
Well, you can choose you insecurities, but you can’t choose your inheritance…
Eh? That makes no sense. D-BUS is a user-level IPC service.
