        There was a good article in the San Jose Mercury News which
        covered both events, but made it pretty clear that experts
        such as some guy from the FBI didn't think there was any real
        connection between them.  Only important thing the article
        missed, IMHO, is that there's already new software out which
        wasn't as susceptible to Kashpureff's idiotic stunt.
