Listen, that virus you're always talking about, right? That one that could, er...rip off the company for a bunch of money?
Yeah, what about it?
Well, how does it work?
It's pretty brilliant. What it does is, every time there's a bank transaction where interest is computed–and there are thousands a day–the computer ends up with these fractions of a cent, which usually rounds off. What this does is it takes those little remainders and puts them into an account.
This sounds familiar.
Yeah, they did it in Superman III.
Right.
Underrated movie, actually. And then there were a bunch of hackers that did it in the 70s as well. One of them got busted.
Well, so they check for this now.
No, no. Here's the thing: Initech's so backed up with all the software we're updating for the year 2000, they'd never notice.
You're right. And even if they wanted to, they couldn't check all that code.
Thumbs up their asses.
