conficker

Hey all, just a little computery PSA here:
There's a worm (called conficker) making its way around the intarwebs thats set to do "something" tomorrow, April 1st.  By "something," I mean it's programmed to wait for orders from about 50,000 internet addresses, some of which may give it a command to turn your computer into a bomb, to kick your dog, or to inflict some real damage (ddos attacks/more normal virusy things like stealing credit card numbers/etc...).  Or it could just be a hoax.  Anyway, if you're on a windows machine, you should make sure you don't have the worm.  And watch the news tomorrow, something interesting might happen...
