  1. Re:The nature of a virus. on Linux Virus Alert · · Score: 1

    "Well, all virii (I'm pretty sure that's the correct plural of "virus" "

    Nope. Taken from www.dictionary.com:

    virus (vrs)
    n. pl. viruses

    The word virii doesn't (legally) exist :)

  2. Slightly OT: This is depressing... on Confidentiality on Virus Sent Docs? · · Score: 1

    This is depressing. I haven't received ANY virus emails, so I'm feeling left out. Could somebody PLEASE put me in their Contacts list? Pretty please?

    I'm so lonely!

  3. Re:Um, porn, anyone? on Four Companies Get Half Your Clicks · · Score: 1

    I'd take a stab at saying (and being completely un-informed here) that no one porn company is big enough to overthrow the "Big Four". Besides, what person actually clicks on porn sites? I would have thought that their mouse hand would be more...occupied :)

  4. The reason the page is slashdotted.... on Surfing With Your Commodore 64 · · Score: 1

    ... is because the web server is also a C-64!

  5. Disturbing on Remote 'Root' Exploit in IIS 5.0 · · Score: 1

    What's more scarier than requiring this patch is the explicit instructions Microsoft have given about downloading the patch.

    You would hope that any web admin (IIS or not) would already know how to download a file and save it to disk.

    The ONLY thing that the instructions didn't tell me how to do was "Click OK". Do I use the mouse, or do I tap the screen with my nose?

  6. Re:dvorak on Review: Ergo Interfaces Evolution Keyboard · · Score: 1

    I tried to get into Dvorak a few weeks ago, but just as I was getting used to it, I discovered that easy shortcut keystrokes (such as Alt-F, S to save in Notepad) were a lot more difficult due to the different positioning.

    That and the fact that my keyboard causes Windows to crash when mapped to Dvorak. And then X crashed once I plugged the same keyboard into my other machine and set it to Dvorak. I'm putting that down to co-incidence.

    I was discouraged from Dvorak after trying it for a week, gaining some speed, but feeling a little confused most of the time. That, and I couldn't get my ideas out quick enough on IRC.

    I'd be more than willing to try again though - particularly with a decent keyboard.

  7. What I Learned From Doom on Gaming Companies Being Sued Over Columbine · · Score: 1

    Does this mean that I can sue ID from what I learned from Doom?

    I once broke my arm, and I tried to run over a first aid kit to heal it, but nothing happened. I never did regain full control of that arm...

    Thank you, Doom.
