Has it got a freaking virus? ::)

The way I read it, you might only be protected from "virus noises".....not the virii themselves....
Be careful out there, people.....
Make note to self...NEVER let Captn' borrow cables...you don't know where they might go...
>:D
Mylar is used as a cable condom?
Wow, I did not know viruses even made noise. What is the sound of one virus shouting?
OK, this puts it into perspective:
Source of sound Sound intensity Sound intensity level
(watts/m2) dB re 10-12 watts/m2
Krakatoa explosion at 100 km 1000000 180 dB
Jet engine at 30 m 1000 150 dB
Rifle being fired at 1 m 100 140 dB
Threshold of pain 10 130 dB
Hearing damage (short-term exposure) 1 120 dB
Jet at 100 m 0.1 to 100 110 – 140 dB
Jack hammer at 1 m 0.01 100 dB
Nagging wife 0.003 ~ 95 dB
Hearing damage (long-term exposure) 0.001 90 dB
Major road at 10 m 10-4 to 10-3 80 – 90 dB
Passenger car at 10 m 10-6 to 10-4 60 – 80 dB
TV (set at home level) at 1 m 0.000001 60 dB
Normal talking at 1 m 10-8 to 10-6 40 – 60 dB
Very quiet room 10-10 to 10-9 20 – 30 dB
Calm breathing 0.00000000001 10 dB
Auditory threshold at 1 kHz 0.000000000001 0 dB
Virus shouting at 1m ~10-13 ~ -10 dB
I was going to wait until 1 April to post this, but it seemed too important to wait.

I knew it! A direct correlation to complaints about not being listened to. Classic positive feedback-loop.
If a virus shouts in the forest . . .
