ninemsn doesn't provide any news stories to Channel 9's news department.
Nor do we get news from them.. we actually get our news feeds from AAP.
Unfortunately the stories aren't online anymore, but I recall that
ninemsn's news specifically mentioned that the worm only affects
computers running Microsoft IIS 4/5.

You're not implying that commercial television is interested in
journalism, surely?
Also, anyone relying on Channel 9 for news about Code Red should
remember that ninemsn is a joint venture with Microsoft. Not that I'm
implying this would affect the news judgement of a television news
editor. No way.

Fighter pilots hated to declare an emergency, because it triggered a
complex and very public set of events back at the field. This reluctance
would drive flight controllers crazy. They would see a ship beginning to
drift off the radar, and know the pilot was probably struggling with
engine failure at low altitude. "Longstick, do you want to declare an
emergency?" This would rouse him. "Negative, Longstick is not declaring
an emergency." Kaboom. Adapted from Tom Wolfe: The Right Stuff
