    And if 100% of what was done with computers scaled like that, you'd have made a great point.

    "Now, cyber bullying allows them to hit you even at home"

    So stay offline.

    There's this guy on youtube who is trolled constantly. He's got a wiki, an imageboard, and a private forum dedicated to his trolling. If he stopped posting youtube videos, they would stop trolling him. It's been three and a half years. Every time he says "I'm leaving youtube, screw you trolls!" he comes back three days later.

    You have to remove yourself from the online bullying and they can't do shit to you.

    As computers get faster, software becomes more bloated and runs slower.

    Pretty sure I said Rifftrax already did it.

    If you're a MSTie and you don't know what Rifftrax is.. it's basically the funny people from MST3k (aka not Joel) doing audio commentary for new movies. Because they only release the audio track they don't have to get the movie rights.

    Plan 9 has a soul, though. Love was put into that movie. Battlefield Earth is barely watchable without the Rifftrax commentary.

    Actually, they had a paper slip system where you could enter the time you got there and left if you forgot to punch in. People started forgetting to punch in a LOT (and oddly enough working more overtime).

    I worked at a job where we had to swipe our badges in/out. Management noticed that people would just give their badges to a friend and leave early. The friend would swipe them out on time (and they would switch back and forth). The solution was to install a thumb print scanner.

    This was at a private for-profit nursing home.

    Point 2 is inaccurate. The 480 is cheaper than the 5970 (by almost $200) and the 480 beats the 5970 in multiple benchmarks.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plural_form_of_words_ending_in_-us

    The English plural of "virus" is "viruses"[1].

    Mass noun in Latin

    Virus comes to English from Latin. The Latin word vrus (the indicates a long i) means "poison; venom", denoting the venom of a snake. This Latin word is probably related to the Greek (ios) meaning "venom" or "rust" and the Sanskrit word visham meaning "toxic, poison".[2]

    Since vrus in antiquity denoted something uncountable, it was a mass noun. Mass nouns — such as air, rice, and helpfulness in English — pluralize only under special circumstances, hence the non-existence of plural forms in the texts.[3]
