Ikatako Virus Replaces Victims' Files With Pictures of Squid
An anonymous reader writes "Ikatako is a virus that spreads through Japanese P2P network Winny, aided by the pirates' lack of wit. Once downloaded and run, the virus sends their data to a central server and replaces it with cephalopod and cnidarian imagery. Japanese hacker (and virus creator) Masato Nakatsuji thought he wouldn't be arrested this time. However, Japanese police considered the files in Japanese pirates' hard drives to be more important than his manga depictions of octopods and other tentacled fauna."
The fact that there are lots of idiotic, stupid, mentally stunted pseudo-intellectuals who form all words as though they are Latin, doesn't make you right by popular vote. Most people think Toronto is the capital of Canada, but popular ignorance doesn't alter reality. You're still totally dead wrong. Octopuses is the plural, Octopus is an English word. If you don't like English, speak Latin, since you worship it so much. Oh wait, Octopus isn't even a Latin word, you fucking idiot. Octopi is wrong, octopodes is wrong (but much much more correct that Octopi), it's Octopuses, just like it's Viruses. And, don't give me any "if it makes sense it's proper English, communication is all that matters, not stupid arbitrary rules!!!!" Alphabetical but doesn't English in it make most order proper sense sentences still that.
