Posthuman Blues

Another goddamned computer virus is spreading its unwholesome tentacles across the Net. I can't remember its name, but it's really dumb.

Who names computer viruses, anyway? The hackers themselves, I suppose, although I like the idea of an official Internet weather bureau coming up with names. Like naming hurricanes. Who, specifically, gets to do this? Is it an automated process or does someone actually sit in an office with a baby-name book chewing on a pencil?
