Remotly *DESTROY* a computer? Don't they mean erase some data? Unless they are talking about some very specific modules with buggy bios chips that can be wiped by software, I don't see anyone coming close to actually destroying a PC remotly
Not being the "ubergeek" I might like to be, this was my question "How could they do it?". As Zone-MR has stated they can't actually destroy a computer.
Of course the free ride will be over one day, the software companies are making it more difficult all the time. Hopefully, Hollywood doesn't figure out a way to stop "cheap night" at the movies anytime soon. But as far as destroying your PC, could this be just another scare tactic to instill fear in the unknowing masses?
