Hackers Can Turn Your Home Computer Into A Bomb!

Holy shit, I'd better unhook that C4 and electronic trigger from my motherboard

Lain? LAAAAAAIIIIINNNNN!!!!

It's a Microsoft!

All you computer are belong to us.

We will exploit their weak point for... MASSIVE DAMAGE!

....a bomb for your comp's programs, data, and systems to be precise
....yeah right,, stupid terrorist would believe that

Lol, I never laughed so hard in my life. These people has no common sense.

.... Blow me until I come all over the kingdom?

Why am I considered a bot? When I post the topic about the statue of Nagi? It's the "koreans??" not me. Can I please post a topic in forums please? Thanks

Well back in the days some when capacitors were rather very large. The hacker/programmer can some send a code to computer to reverse polarity of the capicitator at very rapid rate, causing them to explode. I think also they some how send a code to CRT or what mutiki said. The capacitor which has enough volts to stop your heart and knock you a few feet back. So the explosive power can be great.

When we are in front of the PC and surfing the net...a different kind of explosion occurs when surfing at hentai sites...if you know what i mean XD

Its definitely a fake, i mean, come within 2 digits of cracking an 87-digit Russian code that will send nuclear missiles that will decimate 5 major American cities?! Im no historian or will i ever claim my history is good, but as far as im concern, wouldnt America react to the missile as a potential threat even if they are in a truce with the Russians? And how can a simple attachment alter the electrical blah blah that is not at all related to the CPU?

You CAN blow your monitor by trying to set it to a refresh rate that it doesn't support, though I doubt any modern PC monitors would actually expose.

this came from some stupid newspaper in the US....figures >_>

Yes it does happen in my dreams

HACKERS RULE!!!

tell me now artefact? are you trolling or just bored honestly this looks like repost. did i see it here already? there's no other reason to post the old stuff then to make the "older than the internet" crowd rage. next you'll try to make me sick of transvestites wont you?

hello there /g/ - Technology

Rest In Peace, Weekly World News. I already miss you and your wacky, wacky, headlines. The magazine unfortunately ceased paper publication in 2007.

I can now threaten the world with my 1337 html, javascript, c+= and c skillz.

With several lines of code, i can now turn your processor's molecules into a BOMB.

PH33R M33333333!!!!

>When the receiver downloads the attachment, the electrical current and molecular structure of the central processing unit is altered, causing it to blast apart like a large hand grenade.
>the electrical current and molecular structure of the central processing unit is altered
>the [...] molecular structure [...] is altered
Holy crap, this means we can perform miracles! By altering the molecular structure of the CPU, we can create ANYTHING out of the CPU!

On a more serious note, at some point in the semi-near future, people WILL be able to kill you and get away with it. At the moment, strong lasers are too large and heavy to use as a serious weapon, but the size is decreasing as technology improves. If the US still allows anyone to own a weapon by the time laser technology has improved enough to be used as a short-distance weapon (like a handgun), people can kill people using such a laser weapon and get away with it - the only thing you can tell from a laser-inflicted wound is what direction the laser came from. You cannot tell which laser weapon was used to commit the crime or anything like that. If you don't touch the victim or anything, you could just kill someone and get away with it.
US only, though. Like guns, anybody caught owning a laser weapon in a decent country would get in trouble with the law.

On the one hand, I've read all sorts of baloney (i.e. hoaxes) such as that for years, beginning with the "Good Times" email virus (the one that supposedly puts your computer into an "Infinite n'th loop" until its processor burns out).

On the other hand, in anime, anything can blow up if manipulated in certain ways (first thing I recall is one episode of Sailor Moon, when Minako, while taking care of a sick Usagi, tries to operate an FM Radio to play soothing music, but manipulates the controls too fast, causing the radio to explode in her face, leaving her all black).

There should be some strict laws to deal with the hackers.

This happened in Battle Programmer Shirase & yeah it was funny as hell.

haha prety funny ^^
"the electric current and molecular structure of you cpu will be altered, causing it to explode like a hand-grenade"
yeah right... xD
but a lot of people probably believed that =/
a lot of diginoobs arround
People should learn or know more about the machine they use every day; a computer.

More breaking news guys, Bigfoot saves little girl from out-of-control trailer, psychics predict the end of the world is next september 11th, and Batboy is resurrected as a zombie!

I love the Weekly World News lol. Too bad they went out of print recently... now it's The Sun.

Heh. This reminds me of Fox News's internet hate machine clip. Except its with your computer and with all your porn.

Double whammy.

I hope it was a hoax!!!

Apparently, while not true for desktop computers, it's quasi-true to laptops and specially cellphones. :P

That is a bunch of bullsh*t. There's no way computers can be blown up from that far away.

not possible.. unless your PC run on kerosine or something which has a powerful enough explosion... or a real explosive device or the computer or the parts you bought is from an unknown group or company who is actually produce bombs...
exploding disc inside a disc rom isn't possible neither... saw it on mythbusters.

computers will normally just shut off from overheating of the CPU if there are too many programs bieng processed... and there aren't any parts in a normal average PC which is within the risk of exploding... =.='

well, faulty electrical wiring and causing it to burn then suddenly burning your house down or the flame reaching something nearby which might explode is probably the closest thing that could possibly happen...

let Gambit touch your computers...

Not the Onion?

Really?!

Die Hard 4.

Don't laugh, my brother died like that.

Older than the internets.

Sorry I just had too.....
In before HURR DURR THE INTERNET EXISTED BEFORE 2000.

I'd prefer they turned my computer into a bon kyu bon kyu bomb girl. D:

the age of stand alone complex has arrived. soon peoples brains will explode.

I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes.

hmm... when I was a kid, I believed in this stuff. I even thought you get connected to the internet just by pluging your computer in the power socket...

Sshhh...

Al Qaeda might learn about this! XD

You know who's at the root of all this? Batboy.

In middle school my teacher had the class write Weekly World News-type articles. So many memories... :[

painful memories

I wonder if you can force a laptop to blow up remotely, those batteries do it often enough in the normal course of things...

That's a tad sensationalist on either account.

Reminds of this old US senator? or some politically related old person, saying the internet is a tube (or did he say a series of tubes?). =P forgot where I heard it from...

This is funny and all, but just how does this fit into the Sankaku Complex framework?

"the electrical current and molecular structure of the central processing unit is altered, causing it to blast apart like a large hand grenade"

haha i lol-ed...

lol
