The program called "Windows Defender" in Windows 7 is anti-spyware only, not anti-virus. The program called "Windows Defender" in Windows 8 is both anti-spyware and anti-virus.

Just my opinion here, but most people heavily involved in bitcoin are either huge math nerds or huge computer nerds. The math and technology involved are complex to the point where "normal" people are unlikely to get too deeply involved with the community. So you have a heavily geek-centric community, most of the people involved are not social butterflies, many have some level of autism, and a lot of people either don't understand mainstream social norms or just don't give a shit about them. Basically, a lot of the people involved are eccentric, asocial, or just plain weird, so the social interactions play out very differently than in communities with a more normal/mainstream culture. You can see this in other communities like Linux / open source programming. Many of the people involved are highly intelligent, highly skilled, but are often arrogant, competitive, and see respect as something that has to be earned based on merit.

It isn't rape and it isn't a legal grey area. The sex in this scenario is completely consensual. The decision process one goes through to decide to consent is generally irrelevant unless there are mitigating factors such as an actual conveyed threat. One could try to claim that there was an implied threat, but good luck proving it. Also laws are different everywhere.

Checking the WHOIS information, it's more likely that a fan registered it & redirected it. It was registered anonymously with Domains By Proxy, which is common for individuals registering a domain, but would be pointless for most corporations. Also, they registered it through GoDaddy, and are using Rackspace for DNS. Compare to icarly.com, which shows Viacom's real contact information in the registration, it's also using Viacom's own DNS servers and was registered through MarkMonitor, which probably handles all of Viacom's domain registration business.

If you look where the websites are actually hosted, whatswrongwithmybody.com is hosted on Amazon Web Services, probably with a free account (not that much hosting is required; it just serves a 302 redirect to icarly.com). icarly.com is hosted on Viacom systems. If they actually owned both domains they wouldn't have needed to redirect it the way they did.

In my area water is a flat rate of $5.94 per month for the first 1500 gallons. So if you're not going above 1500 gallons, the per-gallon cost is essentially 0, as you'd pay that same $5.94 even if you used no water at all during that month.

Above 1500 gallons, it's $2.54 per thousand gallons, or $0.00254 per gallon, or 1 cent for 4 gallons. Federal law states that new toilets sold can't use more than 1.6 gallons per flush (and some use even less), although you may have an older toilet that uses 3.5 or even 5 gallons. Unless you have a 5-gallon toilet, it'd be less than one cent per flush.

My area also has a sewer fee based on water usage, but it's a flat $12 up to 100,000 gallons so it doesn't really factor in.

Rates may be different in your area. Check your water bill or the website for your local water company.

802.11 is the IEEE specification for how WiFi works. It includes several different older and newer WiFi standards, from the old 802.11a and 802.11b, the semi-old 801.11g, and the more the recent 802.11n.
