OK, so I actually RTFA.

They immediately recognized the organism’s viruslike shape — imagine a 20-sided die, with each face a hexagon

I'm having a hard time fitting together 20 hexagonal faces. OTOH, the herpes virus is shaped like a regular icosahedron.

On my test run of Vista, one of my plain IDE HDD's mysteriously powers off every couple hours. It makes a horrible whining as it spins back up.
Nothing like that has ever happened to me in XP or Ubuntu. No anomalies reported by SMART monitoring tools. None of my other drives do this.
Well, which drive is it? My audio storage drive with 300GB of lossless music (my own discs legally backed-up with Exact Audio Copy!)
Coincidence?
When you mess with *.flac, you mess with me. Then I format your partition. :)
