The FBI runs a little ditty called Operation Bot Roast. Its mission is to track PCs which have been hijacked for the purposes of, primarily, spam. As of late, it tracked its one millionth (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/06/13/millionth_botnet_address/) customer. That means there are, at the very least, a million people who failed to use their computer in a secure fashion. Perhaps we can give them a VCR instead? At least a blinking 12:00 won't kill the interwebs as we know it.
