Is this really news worthy.
I still don't get why the topic icon is a caterpillar.
Why the picture of a caterpillar to represent a worm?
Not quite, people just have to think that you've stopped writing virii.
There's too much profit to be made in spambots.
My money says you're 3 for 3.
Like hell!
Writing "virii" when they actually mean "viruses" should be punishable by death.
It's a fucking plague! Stop it!
stfu donkey fucker !
:-)
I think you misspelled "goat." This is slashdot after all.

Mod parent OVERRATED. This is an obvious guy karma whore post. There's nothing insightful about it.
Not to mention 'loose' for 'lose'.

Naermalii I'm a grammir nasii tuu, but I'm lenient feeling moment at the.
See? Everyone understands me. Let's all abandon what bleedin' defines a language: common vocabularies, spelling, syntax and grammar. Let's encourage people who risk looking like retarded clowns outside their own very small social context to keep on writing "virii", "grammer", "should of" et c., because we UNDERSTAND what they REALLY mean, right?
No? Wouldn't it be better if people actually tried to WRITE what they really mean, instead of hoping that readers will bother guessing?
Since countless dumbasses also think that "irregardless" is a word, that says nothing.
But I'm not complaining. I love things like ebonics, 1337 speek, and idiotic slang: it lets me know that whoever is talking is a moron, and saves me from wasting any more time listening to him.

I'm a doctor. Really. No seriously! Believe me dude. Believe me! I'm even a better doctor than I am a karma whore! I was simply thinking along the lines that, if the creators of such virUSES were to attack the entities responsilble for null and voiding a virus, they'd be trying something a little more creative than just a DOS attack. As far as I know, a DOS is rather temporary. Which is a pointless victory in war.
Or "virii" for virus or viruses.
Just look at the comments to this story. It's fucking pathetic.
As a non-native English speaker I'm baffled by how native English speakers could possibly mistake "their" for "they're" and so on - and do it consistently! Don't they even know what they're trying to write?
