Human Virus Scanner
The viruses that have infected you will be shown here along with their cures, if known.

Viruses you suffer from:

Sci-fi (120%)
Stop wearing the stick-on ears.


Cthulhu (130%)
Read some Enid Blyton.


Gaming (130%)
Life is not a game. Roll 3D6. On a 4 or more go out and do something with your life.


Industrial (110%)
Everyone likes folk. No, really. Maybe you should listen to the Incredible String Band.


Religion (140%)
Read "God's Debris" by Scott Adams (yes, the Dilbert guy)


British (100%)
No need for cure. Benign virus.


Discordia (100%)
Buy a suit. Invest your money. Eat hotdog buns on a friday.


Windows (100%)
Try MacOS X. It's based on UNIX, it has a smoother UI than Windows and it doesn't suck.
As an extra feature the boxes look nice.


Free BSD (110%)
The GPL isn't that bad really. Adopt a penguin at the zoo.


Politics (100%)
Stop caring!


Brand Names (105%)
Having a well-known name doesn't make it good.


Conspiracy Theory (120%)
Face it, the elected government is in control. Actually that's quite scary.


Environmentalism (103%)
Consume more stuff! It's easier to buy new stuff than to recycle.


Macintosh (100%)
Use a mouse with more than one button.

Viruses you might suffer from:

Pokemon (60%)
Pikachu! Use your hyper-electric-get-a-life move now!


TotL (85%)
Go read Brunching


Linux (80%)
Install the latest version of Microsoft Windows. Learn to love it.


Junkfood (80%)
Eat some real food. Something which you can identify the source of every ingredient, not the point of manufacture.


Goth (65%)
Grow up. Let your roots grow out. Listen to Britney.


Amiga (70%)
Gnome is better than workbench. BEOS is better than Amiga OS. The TV Modulator was a pain in the arse and an EXTERNAL power pack? I ask you. And it didn't have a built in MIDI port like some of its rivals.


8-Bit (90%)
Polygons, all the polygons you can get are not enough.


Japan (60%)
Big is good. Small is bad. Giant robots would not make a good last line of defence for Earth.


UNIX (70%)
Anything this old must be obsolete. Go and install a nice modern operating system. I hear MSDOS has come a long way lately.


Hippyism (80%)
Free love is passe and potentially dangerous, and patchouli smells like cat piss.

You have me listed as a friend...who are you?

Did I meet you once? Zorba brought a friend from TopCoder to lunch once...are you she?

Re:

[kuangning]

Yes, I'm the guest he took to TopCoder. :)

Re:

OK...I recall (sorta) who you are...why did you list me as a friend?

Re:

[kuangning]

Same reason I list anyone else. You said something that interested me, and I wanted to read your updates.

[mayamaia.livejournal.com]

Best reason to meet a friend.

Re:

*grin.* I'll spare you the rant on this; suffice it to say, if I list a person it's because I want to read their LJ, and I do not remove people from my friends list unless they've bored me to tears for quite awhile, and it has nothing to do with personal attachment, except that after I've read about someone's life and interacted with them for some time, I do become attached to some degree.
