hmm.. if one day someone design such USB, wouldn't that be equivalent to a bomb?
"Can Hackers turn a remote computer into a bomb and explode it to kill someone, just like they do in hacker movies? Wait, wait! Before answering that, Let me tell you an interesting story about Killer USB drive:
A man walking in the subway stole a USB flash drive from the outer pocket of someone else's bag. The pendrive had "128" written on it. After coming home, he inserted the pendrive into his laptop and instead discovering any useful data, he burnt half of his laptop down. The man then took out the USB pendrive, replaced the text "128" with "129" and put it in the outer pocket of his bagŸ?? Amen!
IŸ??m sure, you would really not imagine yourself being the 130th victim of this Killer perdrive, neither I."
