>Los Angeles 12 noon - 3:00pm
> Boston 3:00pm - 6:00pm
> London 8:00pm - 11:00pm
> Berlin 9:00pm - 12:00 midnight
> Hong Kong 3:00am - 6:00am (Saturday and Monday)
> Tokyo 4:00am - 7:00am (Saturday and Monday)
> Sydney 5:00am - 8:00am (Saturday and Monday)

>(Note that because of time differences, the attempt

>The worm has been programmed to automatically direct infected
