Rather than a ranking of the most widespread viruses, or those that have caused most infections, these viruses are ones that deserve mention for standing out from the more than 24 million new strains of malware that emerged."

Uniquest would have been better.

I was disappointed to find out this was about computer viruses. Nothing in the description makes relevant to computers until the word malware.
The most unique biological viruses would be much cooler to look at than some stupid man-made computer virus.
... Then why are you on slashdot? You're essentially walking into a room of dwarves and proclaiming that it is a terrible place to discuss the 10 finest sparling ice-wines this side of faerun.

I understand your point, but that is a rather misleading analogy, for Slashdot is widely known to be the best possible place to debate the 10 finest sparling ice-wines this side of faerun.

It really just depends. Too high, and you're a Johnny-come-lately with no sense of slashdot lore. Too low smacks of moderate-to-severe aspeger's and probable basement dwelling. Really, the ideal UID is a bit over half a million.

Everyone knows that all of the best Slashdot UIDs are less than 21055.

1. Norton
This brings up an interesting question. If you installed malware that was pretending to be Norton, how would you know?

In other words:
Uniquest > Uniqueier > unique
I'm not 100% sure where "most unique" should be placed, but I think it would be the equivalent of "Uniquest".
Remember, there used to be only one type of "infinity" in math. Now someone just has to properly define different levels of "uniqueness".
(yeah, I'm not sure if this is a joke post either)
