/ May 28, 2019 Laptop with Six Viruses Auctioned for Over US$1m . Summary: Lot 666, ‘The Persistence of Chaos’, a masterpiece so magnificent that it can kill: a laptop containing an amalgam of six deadliest computer viruses in history, chaotic and yet orderly, dangerous but also glorious. To think the malware managed to cause roughly US$95 billion (~HK$745 billion) in global economic damages in total, and now it is all securely trapped on this very computer. May it serve as a reminder of how hazardous it can be if malicious software is utilised as a weapon. Someone is bidding $1 million… $1.2 million… more! Any more bids? Once… twice… sold! . Language Enhancement: Bid (n./v.)(出價) Bidder (n.)(出價的人) 到拍賣網站「bid 嘢」，該 bid 的真正意思並非「拍賣」（正確的字是 auction (v.)）而是「出價」，作名詞時的常用搭配是 make/place/put + a bid，作動詞時的搭配則是 bid + $ + for + N.。出價競投的人士是 bidder(s)。 e.g. I don’t think I can beat that bid. The price is simply too high. e.g. This item will go to the highest bidder. ————————————————— 想每日睇新聞🗞，學英文📚🔠？ 快啲 follow @k.e.n.joy 及 bookmark ————————————————— #english #news #englishinnews #newsoftheday #language #enhancement #dse #kennethlau #kenjoy #英文 #時事英文熱點 #2019dse #2020dse #2021dse #dsefighter #dseenglish #dse2019 #dsefighter #2019dsefighter #2020dsefighter #dseeng #hkdse #hkdseenglish #20190528
