re: There's only one thing funnier than BOFH...

I totally agree with you.

Been a fan of the BOFH for some 7-8 years now and I always look forward to it. I've even had the pleasure of speaking to Simon once or twice.

They're fantastic stories, keep up the good work Simon.

Removal

I'm going to /ignore all the retards shouting "I told you so- rotflmfao!!!1eleven

Some people are just too stupid to bother arguing with.

Anyway in a more constructive vein....removing the Trojan from infected systems.

1) (open Terminal.app)

2) sudo su (enter password)

3) rm -r /System/Library/StartupItems/iWorkServices

4) rm /private/tmp/.iWorkServices

5) rm /usr/bin/iWorkServices

6) rm -r /Library/Receipts/iWorkServices.pkg

7) killall -9 iWorkServices

As you were...

Shame really, as this is would have been the only app in the appstore worth paying for..(maybe the lightsaber too).

Getting shot of unwanted gear

Ok it's quite obvious this is NASA's way to avoid the decommissioning costs. Maybe if they thought outside of the box a little bit more then decommissioning becomes easy and cheap...

Send the thing into space, point it in the direction of the Sun... give it a nudge in the general direction, gravity takes over and does the rest...all parts returned to their base elements and in a completely eco-friendly fashion!

Physics means that these elements will return to us an a few billion years, whats not to like?
