idea for next virus: after reproducing itself, construct a random domain
name ending in .net and ddos it at a low rate for a day or so.  if the
faked up domain is someones real one, you get a small number of packets
to that domain.  if a large number of domains resolve to the same ip,
well, too bad for that ip...

that might even be a virus a lot of people want to run.
