I stick around this list, lurking I think its called, to see what happens 
next, even to learn something when you folks are serious, and I do so 
appreciate a sense of humor with teeth. ;-)  Good post, generated a BWG 
here.

Go to Russia.

Find a corrupt Russian general.

Purchase the biggest nuclear warhead you can afford, at least 20 megatons.

Launch it into space and detonate it in near-Earth orbit.

When the radiation hits the atmosphere, it will generate the mother of all
electromagnetic pulses.

Which will permanently fry all computer chips and most electronics all over
the world, sending the entire planet back to pre-Industrial Revolution
technology.

(You may need to do it twice, once for each hemisphere.)

Find a corrupt Russian general.

Purchase the biggest nuclear warhead you can afford, at least 20 megatons.

Launch it into space and detonate it in near-Earth orbit.

Sorry Gene, but I'm a long time reader and sometimes contributor to
this list, and there are some things that are just a bit nutty.  I
imagine that this post is from someone who really is upset, but his
response to the list is really a bit silly in my opinion.  It isn't
about python, so I thought I'd be light hearted.

As it turns out, the OP hasn't engaged in any further back and forth,
which to me enforces my original post.

It sounds fairly plausible. "Help, I just got 'got'! Now what?"
*researches* "Hmm, I'm seeing a lot of stuff about Python and Linux
and stuff. Where can I get help about Python?"

The request is misdirected (we can't help), but not unreasonable IMO.

You don't need Python help after an attack like this any more than you
need an automotive mechanic after you've been run over by a car. What
you need is someone who can help you repair your systems and fix your
security; I suggest looking locally in your area for a computer
expert.

Elise Mooney reports on Channel 9 about Maths Worldwide and the fraud that it is

[Ms. Hyde]

Link: http://www.petitiononline.com/mwwabuse/petition.html (as
reported by Elise Mooney from Channel 9)

I wish to raise this topic of Rob and Kim Hyde and their experience
they stated publicly on Channel Nine's A Current Affair. Now they are
caring loving parents, and for them to even THINK about going on
television just demonstrates to you how far/extreme the ethical
conduct of Mathemagic (now known as Maths Worldwide) has gone. And the
thing is, they just DONT learn from their lesson. As you already know,
Mathemagic bankrupt under the hands of the very professionally inept
hands of Gary Rosenberg. His name is already disgraced as it was
featured in a major newspaper publication: he's a nobody, he should be
shunned in our society, and that's what bankrupt law is meant to do.

Now as to this new respawning of Mathemagic as Maths Worldwide, they
are completely and utterly ridiculous under the Trade Practices Act.
Not only do they not act in good faith, but in no way could you even
suggest that such a firm which has had this PAST should you EVER
consider buying from again.

Now I read another person analogizing the conduct of Maths Worldwide
to that of child pedophiles. Now so not to be defamatory, I'm going to
analyze this matter in good faith. Being a pedophile means you have a
sexual perversion in which children are the preferred sexual object.
Obviously, there is no statement of fact that Maths Worldwide
personell have sexually molested little children (and I don't make
that inference). But I understand the analogy to financial abuse.
Abuse comes in many ways, verbal abuse, really, any sort of abuse
towards kids isn't okay. Financially targetting little children, is
just SICK, and it should be jailable in our society. I don't care what
your view is in life, you have got to have mental problems to do
something like that, serious psychological issues. You need to go to
see a psychiatrist if you do something like that. It is a failure of
our market to address it otherwise.

If I were you, I would immediately write to your local MP, guys, this
is our CHILDREN's stake at future.

We CANNOT let this sort of scam stay around.

With over 4 million customers, this is the BIGGEST scam in Australia
since the Nigerian scams.

And I called the ACCC, and they said they couldn't do a thing.

Why?

Because Mathemagic went into bankruptcy.

And then there is the issue about the allegedly 'fiesty red haired
porn star Director' (I'm not sure how accurate it is since it is a
forum post, of Western Australia subsidiary apparently). But, I
wouldn't be surprised. Look at her on YouTube, she's not reliable,
nothing about that business is trustable. The brand name of that
company is so damaged, I don't think it could be damaged it any
further. I don't think they even took action against Channel 9's a
Current Affair because they knew how much of a RIP they were.



Maths Worldwide is at it again, trying to find a fiesty red female,
who looks like she walked out of a pornographic movie, with the
following sales pitch. I've included it below, but just a few
comments:
- She looks nothing like a teacher, just ANOTHER sales agent, the same
people we know (and hate) who ripped off little children just as
pedophiles touch little kids inappropriately. It's called CHILD ABUSE
when you're abusing children's finances
- They are trying to get testimonies from people by selling it at
$390, didn't the web site say it's now costing $650? Which one is it?
- Why the hell are they still called Australian Institute of Maths? I
thought this fraud owned by Gary Rosenberg was shut down??? Now
renamed Maths Worldwide? So mathemagic is the same thing as Maths
Worldwide then? What's happening?
- Why aren't any names given? If you have a consultant come in your
house, ask their name and post it on here. THEIR FULL NAME. - Even at
$400... they're still charging $31 a week for 12 weeks - what a RIPP
OFF. stil trying to enter parents into contracts. ripping people -
they're at it again.
Anyway, here is the copy of the advert:
Hi, and thanks for your time. We at Maths Worldwide are dedicated
educationalists who have a genuine interest in improving the standard
of childrens edcuation here in the greatest country of the world,
Australia. We believe that education is power, and power creates
opportunity. We want all our chidlren to make the most of their
opportunity. During the past year or so, you allowed an education
consultant representing the Australian Institute of Maths [You're
shitting me, they're still using that name???] enter your home, to
demonstrate the mathemagic computer tutor. During the time spent in
your house, your children would have conducted a diagnostic test, to
see how they were going with udnerstanding maths. Remember that? It
was almost a reflection of your children's report card. Well just as a
refresher, why do some chidlren perform very poorly at school? And
excel once they go to work? Just because
