Storm Worm has Intelligence?

Randy Pausch is getting slightly better.
Celebrated Carnegie Mellon University professor Randy Pausch still expects to die, but maybe not as soon as doctors predicted.
Pausch — who shared his terminal pancreatic cancer battle with the world last month — recently found out that the palliative chemotherapy that he has taken for six weeks to try slowing the spread of his cancer appears to be doing more. The tumors in his spleen are gone, and the dozen tumors in his liver either are stable or shrinking.
Doctors estimate this could buy him an extra two to four months of life.
“Said another way, I may have just doubled my life expectancy,” said Pausch, who turned 47 Tuesday.
