Tbere is theory and then there is reality. How likely are you to encounter that Linux malware? Properly admined, not likely. On Windows? The odds are near 100%, no matter how effective your system administration skills are.
Nonsense, I have never once ever had a virus or trojan or anything. That's why I've never had to use an antivirus.
Jumping 20 systems to get somewhere in EVE really can be a bitch, especially if you rely on the autopilot. There's many things that effect the overall rate of travel like how fast your ship can align, how fast it accelerates, how man AU/s it gets, how many AU it is between gates, if you fall short of jump range making you travel 10-1000 meters...
I know EVE is a largely PVP based game, so it's designed largely around it. This travel time plays an incredible role, and putting your resources where you need them to fight.
In EVE, the game (for PVP'ers) would be radically perverted if travel was eliminated. Many parts of EVE can be shot to pieces if Newtonian physics are applied, but they do focus on realism as long as it's convenient to the objective.
I guess I've only half-lost my scent, but it can be frustrating when people try to have me smell things, forgetting I'm the only person they know who can't smell.
I do also get stuck with cleaning up the grossest things possible, but I've been invulnerable to grossness long before I lost my scent.
I use gas for the stove and heating, I get concerned sometimes there could be a leak I don't notice. I'm just glad I don't like alone anymore.
I've lost my smell to nasal polyps and chronic sinusitis years ago, it's a little disappointing sometimes but sometimes it's nice not having to smell awful things.
I've heard that when you can't smell you can't taste, which is bullshit. I can't tell the difference between some things but I do very much have a vivid sense of taste still.
And you know that "You lose one sense you gain another" thing? It doesn't work with smell.
Sometimes I use pieces of paper that don't have glue on the back of them that can fit more than
"feed cat food at 3:00"
But I usually choose to practice my innate ability to remember to do things without a piece of paper, which I would also probably forget to look at when the time comes.
Post-It notes are inefficient pieces of trash-to-be only the passive-aggressive are equipped to handle effectively.
Their occurrence in a business environment is a sign of organization to management, but to an... insightful observer they are a reflection of erroneous thinking that labels can replace structure and concentrated effort.
Let's review the evolution of Post-it notes:

Mind that those are "greater-than", not just arrows.
I'm afraid mono-anything really is a second class citizen; Microsoft is widely untrusted, they actively have attacked and still attack anything not-Microsoft, they arm themselves and let people know it and the only incentive they have to not destroy opposition outright are the legal barriers they don't forget about.
Now imagine a citizen, a walking, breathing citizen walking around acting like this.
I do not doubt the defenders are perfectly sane, it is their legal and historical experience I do not trust.
I see some interesting points but nothing explains why the free software community can't make their own mono, why Microsoft still can't use this against F/OSS, or why we should stop arguing.
It's more political bullshit...
"Many of those who advertise themselves as anti-Mono are, quite frankly, frightening. Calling for the deaths of Microsoft employees (see comments on Boycott Novell), or trying to have people who make positive comments about Mono fired (see recent comments on Ubuntu mailing lists), or making insinuations about anyone who does not agree with them (see pretty much every news post on Boycott Novell itself) â" this is ugly behaviour, the absolute worst kind of advert for the âoeFree Software communityâ imaginable. If people want to be âoeagainstâ Mono, then there are sane ways to do it â" for example, by working on or packaging alternative software. Calling for people to be expelled from Free Software communities because they donâ(TM)t work on apps you like is, in short, the antithesis of supporting Freedom. If the anti-Mono crowd want to be taken seriously, then they need to UNDERSTAND what they fight against â" they need to have sufficiently intimate knowledge of what Mono is, how it works, and why, in order to know where to direct their energies (and general shouts of âoeZOMG! MICRO$HAFT!â isnâ(TM)t well-directed). I would LOVE to see some high-quality apps for GNOME written in, say, Java or Python â" as the competition would only result in better applications."
Sounds like Republicans and Democrats fighting over how to tell people how to live their own damn lives. Just because I say Fuck Microsoft doesn't mean I'm a feral animal or that my words are a reflection of the Free Software community in general.
The only Microsoft employee I'd be happy to see dead is Steve Ballmer, the rest I hope just have to find new jobs when Microsoft collapses into it's own greed and blind destructiveness.
Microsoft may just have.NET patents and contracts for their own sake, as SOP. Pragmatically, it would be a mistake for them to sue Debian or Miguel. I think they realize that because they haven't yet gone after Miguel.
If I managed to be desperate enough to hand my computer over to anyone else, it would be without the hard drive in it, or at least the one with the information I care about.
I'd actually suggest to anyone who buys a new laptop and with the resources, immediately replace the hard drive with a blank one and install your OS of choice. You might even impress them when they're left with registering to Microsoft for you.
But there is still vital information missing; you're only reproducing whatever the recording recorded from certain positions. It's impossible to assume new locations for the sounds and get an accurate position of the instruments.
It's not "true" surround sound, it doesn't mystically divine information that isn't there anymore. That is, when you turn your head you don't hear what you would have heard if you've done so with the actual source, if applicable.
So, no, it's impossible for them to have something that can guess to any believable sight what depth every part of an image it should be.
"While Linux has definitely caught on in the enterprise server and database market, the open-source OS has never really been able to move into the greater market."
You have to draw the line before you can cross is. KIA's not the first brand that comes to mind when citing car manufacturers that are prevalent in the United States, like Ford or Dodge or Mitsubishi, but it certainly exists and will continue to exist.
"Those who do use Linux as the primary OS for their home or work PC are still by and large tech-savvy users who comprise what used to be known as the 'hobbyist' market. The larger end-user crowd has not been able to warm up to Linux."
The large end market, no. Users who are not tech-savvy, yes.
"Ubuntu was supposed to change that. When the OS was launched, I remember all of my Linux-advocate friends predicting that this would be the product to make the jump and challenge Microsoft in the consumer and workstation spaces. Nearly five years after its release, Ubuntu remains popular amongst Linux users, but has yet to really pick up any sort of real momentum in the greater desktop OS market."
Number one on Distrowatch, Dell, System 76, massive consumer backing, fanatical support, extremely active development, et cetera...
"Yes, getting rave reviews from the Linux community is nice, but get back to me when the housewives and pensioners, not just the IT pros and college students, start dumping Windows for Ubuntu."
How can we know that housewives and pensioners aren't using it?
"But the more he explained his position the more I came to agree. Maybe it was just the overenthusiastic marketing or the fanboys who swarmed to the system but Ubuntu really was supposed to change everything, where as the operating system landscape looks very much the same these days."
Overthrowing Microsoft would have been nice but it doesn't have to go down to change anything. It's easy to think nothing's changed but under the waters the change really is there to behold.
"Don't get me wrong, I like Ubuntu and have it running on a home system. But unless a major manufacturer starts preinstalling it it's going to be confined to the Linux enthusiast and the hobbyist market."
Dell.

Well, it's still a bitch that I can't smell anything even when I know I'm getting a good sniff at it. ... Maybe I should try eating things instead!
I've lost my smell to nasal polyps and chronic sinusitis years ago, it's a little disappointing sometimes but sometimes it's nice not having to smell awful things.
I've heard that when you can't smell you can't taste, which is bullshit. I can't tell the difference between some things but I do very much have a vivid sense of taste still.

How ironic.

I don't see how this wins anyone anything.
Microsoft may just have .NET patents and contracts for their own sake, as SOP. Pragmatically, it would be a mistake for them to sue Debian or Miguel. I think they realize that because they haven't yet gone after Miguel.
Or they've already gotten him.
So, what's so good about mono?
If I managed to be desperate enough to hand my computer over to anyone else, it would be without the hard drive in it, or at least the one with the information I care about.
I'd actually suggest to anyone who buys a new laptop and with the resources, immediately replace the hard drive with a blank one and install your OS of choice. You might even impress them when they're left with registering to Microsoft for you.

I second that call on bullshit.
Great reply, but I'd like to note...
Ubuntu is a success, but it failed to live up to the hype that surrounded it when it first appeared.
It is arguable that nothing ever lives up to it's hype.
I love Linux, but sadly I agree with him.
I don't.

That's why you should consider getting your state ID tattooed on your person. Make sure you keep yourself unloaded when going out in public, accidents do happen.
You're only required by (federal) law to show identification to an officer of the law when you are suspected of a crime.
You're only required to carry identification when operating a vehicle and in some territories when carrying a weapon.
It's 'cause I took a hit.
