"There is always a chance something will happen. It may be an infinitesimally small chance, but it is a chance."

That may be a quote about quantum mechanics, but it is still a good quote.

Also, thanks for that info.

You don't have to. The infected ads will do the dirty work for you.

... I saw the thread title and I immediately thought of what the NSA has been up to.

If you can stand foul language, and some sorta-heavyish technical details, check out the 30c3 talks on youtube. Leave it to the hackers to pull the NSA's pant's down like nobody else.
