See how badly you’re infected<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My results:<\/p>\n

Viruses you suffer from:<\/h5>\n
\n
Linux (115%)<\/font><\/dt>\n
Install the latest version of Microsoft Windows. Learn to love it.<\/dd>\n
Junkfood (115%)<\/font><\/dt>\n
Eat some real food. Something which you can identify the source of every ingredient, not the point of manufacture.<\/dd>\n
Sci-fi (100%)<\/font><\/dt>\n
Stop wearing the stick-on ears.<\/dd>\n
Industrial (190%)<\/font><\/dt>\n
Everyone likes folk. No, really. Maybe you should listen to the Incredible String Band.<\/dd>\n
Religion (100%)<\/font><\/dt>\n
Read “God’s Debris” by Scott Adams (yes, the Dilbert guy)<\/dd>\n
8-Bit (160%)<\/font><\/dt>\n
Polygons, all the polygons you can get are not enough.\n<\/dd>\n
British (100%)<\/font><\/dt>\n
No need for cure. Benign virus.<\/dd>\n
UNIX (120%)<\/font><\/dt>\n
Anything this old must be obselete. Go and install a nice modern operating system. I hear MSDOS has come a long way lately.<\/dd>\n
Discordia (130%)<\/font><\/dt>\n
Buy a suit. Invest your money. Eat hotdog buns on a friday.\n<\/dd>\n
Windows (100%)<\/font><\/dt>\n
Try MacOS X. It’s based on UNIX, it has a smoother UI than Windows and it doesn’t suck.
\nAs an extra feature the boxes look nice.<\/dd>\n
vi (120%)<\/font><\/dt>\n
Escape Meta Alt Control Shift.<\/dd>\n
Free BSD (145%)<\/font><\/dt>\n
The GPL isn’t that bad really. Adopt a penguin at the zoo.<\/dd>\n
Politics (170%)<\/font><\/dt>\n
Stop caring!<\/dd>\n
Brand Names (155%)<\/font><\/dt>\n
Having a well-known name doesn’t make it good.<\/dd>\n
Computer Games (140%)<\/font><\/dt>\n
Stop staring at the screen and get some fresh air. You should see a doctor about the RSI in your thumbs.<\/dd>\n
Conspiracy Theory (108%)<\/font><\/dt>\n
Face it, the elected government is in control. Actually that’s quite scary.<\/dd>\n
Environmentalism (103%)<\/font><\/dt>\n
Consume more stuff! It’s easier to buy new stuff than to recycle.<\/dd>\n
Macintosh (100%)<\/font><\/dt>\n
Use a mouse with more than one button.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
Viruses you might<\/em> suffer from:<\/h5>\n
\n
USA (70%)<\/font><\/dt>\n
Rule, Britannia! Britannia rule the waves! [repeat]<\/dd>\n
Amiga (80%)<\/font><\/dt>\n
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.\n<\/dd>\n
BBCB (70%)<\/font><\/dt>\n
CTRL-Break, and get a real computer.
\nRepeat: “Mode 7 was not a good thing.”<\/dd>\n
Southampton (70%)<\/font><\/dt>\n
Move to the Isle of Wight.<\/dd>\n
X11 (60%)<\/font><\/dt>\n
I hear Mac OS 10 Aqua is nice at this time of year.<\/dd>\n
Hippyism (93%)<\/font><\/dt>\n
Free love is passe and potentially dangerous, and patchouli smells like cat piss.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
