Why does controlling the clients make it worth more? One of the articles key points was that it shut down good 3rd party clients and replaced them with a bad 1st party client. Controlling the clients is only a good move if you use that cont

Fascinating. I do a lot of amateur theatre and one of the most useful things about it is that it forces you to do similar things to on a regular basis and it really does help a lot in various aspects of life. In particular it really helps d

From what the article says I think the original virus works by attacking tumors which then explode and spread the virus all around the body. If they use a version of the virus that is safe or that the person is immune to then it would targe
