I've been (ab)using my computer(s) for over a decade (i'm 21)...running pretty much any.exe there is out there, be it downloaded from a website or whatever (except those really standing-out sex.exe and the like). I only got infected once, with a virus that freezes your pc (actually makes it incredibly slow) when you run an infected program. I think it was a side-scroller platform game, ala crystal caves...
Never got the ILOVEYOU virus, never got anything. I think it is location-specific EVEN THO the internet is physical-location-independent...

you trust extensions? you shouldn't. let "file" do the job! if your file manager doesn't use "file" to determine file type and display it immediately, it sucks! i don't care if it is called explorer.exe/nautilus/whatever!
the NAME of the file should NOT have ANYTHING to do with it's type! also i hate programs that reject files just because they don't have an extension that they like (xmms).
also, mplayer2.exe sometimes tries to look in the file and determine it's type that way. this is (hear! hear!) a windows program that does better than a linux program, mwahahah!

"exegesis" is not an english word derived from the greek word exegeisthai. "exegesis" is an exact greek word which is used as-is in english. It is a feminine noun. As for the etymology, it seems a bit flakey to me... (i'm greek, by the way)
funny, that word was word-of-the day on my birthday, heh 17th july!

If you are absolutely sure about something, why would you ask then?
if you are incredibly afraid of being rejected, maybe you/expect/ it to happen. why do you think a girl would reject going out with you, or just hanging out? Have you thought that this reflects what you know about yourself and you want to fix it?
as for the "never seen it up close", don't go there.
i bet my left testicle that the problem lies in *who* you are trying to "socially interact" with. If it is someone you enjoy being with, i don't see why even a depressed person would have trouble talking to him. Now, if there is NOONE you feel comfortable with, then you have more serious problems than you even think yourself. SOL. sorry.

I hate to be a nitpick, but it would be a lot better if you tried to never /have/ to say "i'm sorry" to another driver...

E is built with one thought in mind: EXTREME customizability.
As it is now, you can make E take up less memory than the shell from which you invoked it. It's all in the theme.

What is even funnier is that m$ has a detailed guide to uninstall linux from a computer, yet they say the things in the article...
So, to recap:

If there is ANYTHING else, install windows.

Until we find out how the hell PLANTS do it!
It is really fascinating. A power source made out of wood (ok, and some organic material) which feeds on water and sun.
We must find a way to harness the power of the sun.
That is the only way.
Until then, no matter what we find on this earth, won't help us more than a fart in a thunderstorm.
