        \_ Dude, have you not heard of all the virus news the past two weeks?!
        \_ Can't believe someone on the CSUA would even care for all these
           spam virii designed for Winblows machines.
           \_ The plural of 'virus' is 'viruses'.  Free your mind from pseudo
              latin rules.
              \_ this is english, not latin.  viruses infect humans and
                 other organisms; virii infect computers.
              \_ Abusing Latin rules happened to be one of my favorite
                 past time.  another example.  virus:virii :: Lexus:Lexii
                 \_ Except that's not even *correct* Latin.  There are
                    no Latin words that pluralize as "-us" to "-ii".
                    Yeah, I know, that's what "abusing" means....
                 \_ wow, the csua is full of geniii.
                    \_ cool shit. I learn something new (Lexii guy)
        \_ Yes, it's the 'admin' virus. Just delete it and you'll be fine.

3/21    what are these virus phages? Can they be repurposed?
        \_ are you <b>insane?</b> you really want to start messing with

           the normal virus lifecycle?

7/9     I'm adding a larger and faster HD to my XP machine, and I want
        to move my installation to the new drive, can anyone recommend
        a tool that can do this? I'd perfer somethng inexpensive as
        it's a one time thing.
        \_ There's a lot of software that does this, but Norton/Symantec Ghost
           seems to be the standard and I have used it successfully many

5/7     Help, I think something's wrong with my network setting. I'd go to
        a web site, and then it would say "cannot find address". Then I'd
        reload again, occassionally 3 times, to load the page. Is this
        due to DNS being too slow, TTL setting, or something else?
        \_ windows mac or linux ?
           \_ windows (company issued laptop, no alternative)

12/1    Just curious -- what do you guys generally use soda for? Why do you
        log on? Personally, I use it to keep a presence on IRC and AIM/gTalk
        at all times, and mess around with some Python programming (been
        setting up Twisted and such so I can play with making an irc bot).
        --toulouse
        \_ I use it to post SHIT, er, I mean, spill my guts about the company

3/4     Hi, what's the best free anti-virus software for XP?  What about
        anti-spyware?  Currently I'm using Active Virus Shield and Spybot.
        Thanks.
        \_ I've used: avg, spybot s&d, adaware, trend micro's housecall.
           \_ Does Spybot S&D protect Firefox?  It soulds like the injection
              feature only supports IE.
