By the way, in case you haven't heard it yet, I'm working on a Troll Detector that analyzes text and gives you a percentage of possibility of that text being written by a troll. It's going very nicely (much easier than I thought!) so I hope to be done with it soon. If you would like to help, just email me or send me a message through Facebook.
I also accept requests for computer info. If you want some information on a specific computer topic, ask me and I can write a post on it for you.
