Follow the money

I had to guess, I’d say that the most common reasons to write viruses these days, by far, are at least somewhat profit-motivated. The I Love You email virus was kind of a watershed incident, the point where a lot of people really started noticing the growing trend in profit-generating mobile malicious code.


The aircraft is insulated to prevent premature condensation or vaporization of the working fluid while climbing or descending. Power is generated by wind turbines aboard the hybrid aerostat glider during both upward and downward gliding. A portion of the wind turbine generated power can be stored and brought back to earth for later use and may be used for propulsion during take-off and landing for example.


In the alternative, power may be used while flying to produce hydrogen via electrolysis or to produce other valuable chemicals or goods. These products can be manufactured while traveling en route to deliver the products to a purchaser. The Gravity Plane can become a flying factory that can generate the power to run a manufacturing process from the atmosphere!


Any attempt to explain away all viruses, worm, and other malicious code writing using a single generalization is unreasonably simplistic, though. Virus writers are people, too -- at least in that they may have any of millions of different motivations for what they do -- even if they’re often subhuman in some respects as well (notably in their ethical development). Most are probably motivated by some combination of more than one of the above suggestions, in fact, and perhaps by other reasons we haven't touched on.
