Maybe it'll mutate a bit and swing back around killing nearly everyone who wasn't infected the first time because their immune systems won't recognize it in time. I'd go get myself infected just to be sure.

Sure, why not? If your whole perception of the universe has changed since then, that's exactly the kind of thing that'll let you know. The parent never suggested that you would have to, in this case, touch the hand on the burner until it left serious damage, but just enough to know that the old rules still apply.
You're on what might be your only trip through this universe. Don't waste it. ANYTHING might change. Just don't count on it.
If Intel in any way restricts VxWorks for other architectures compared to any of Intel's, I think real time Linux work will surge. Right now (for us) VxWorks really is the only solution. The current real time-ish Linuxes available are not deterministic enough (we took probe measurements), but if that changes, we might gladly switch, if only because of the extreme cost of VxWorks. It'll also be interesting to see what happens to the support department behind VxWorks, as it has waned recently.
This definition for emulate fits:
1. to try to equal or excel; imitate with effort to equal or surpass
wine attempts to equal or excel the windows adaptation of the win32 api, at least in specific regards.
Let's go for computer specific:
to imitate (a particular computer system) by using a software system, often including a microprogram or another computer that enables it to do the same work, run the same programs, etc., as the first.
Okay so anything that fits "to imitate by using a software system".
As best I can tell the argument you're putting forth is that it's a complete coincidence that the implementation behind the Win32 specification on Windows and the implementation behind the Win32 specification in wine are behave the same, and that's rather silly.
Emulation isn't about copying what's under the hood. If two things implement the same interface, they emulate each other. A hamburger patty emulates a carrot in that they can both be cooked (that is, they both implement the cookable interface, they share some API). There doesn't even need to be any intent!
That doesn't make sense. Unless the tech guy is above the pay guy, the pay guy should not listen to the tech's security advice, and unless the pay guy is above the tech guy, the tech guy should not listen to the pay guy's advice on how to fill out time sheets?
Expertise = authority. Power to fire might appear to be authority, but it isn't. All having power means is that you expect respect. I've never had a problem telling a boss when they are wrong, but you can be sure I'm nice about it.
... by having a recorded music track AND midi for every instrument, so anything someone is playing goes along with the midi and anything being left to the game is played by recording? Or would that sound too crappy?
Let's take it to the extreme. Imagine if at 70 years of age around 40% of men lost their dick. It just falls off. Let us also imagine that by some miracle, there is no risk of infection and everything else still functions correctly. Something tells me this would bother me, and I'd want to stop it. We're talking about something a person has, going away. I don't see how your question is relevant.
Why is it everyone assumes that the soul-world connection works both ways? Who's to say that every consciousness isn't just a listener, somehow able to interpret a mind, and what's going on, and yet have no magical abilities over the matter contained therein. If I put someone who is in a very drowsy state in front of a TV, give them a steering wheel, and show a first person video if reckless driving, they'll think they're doing it. They'll try to avoid things (or hit things).
I submit to you that just maybe, you do have a 'soul', which is your consciousness. It has intimate knowledge of the goings on in your head. All it can see and hear and smell and taste and feel is that information which is fed into your head. Since it has the intimate knowledge, your consciousness thinks it is making these decisions.. but it is not. It's just intimately watching the process.
You think you're thinking about it, but you're just watching and interpreting a brain taking in stimulus. Therefore I won't feel bad when you troll me.
This is a tough one. One could make the argument that the real world (which I've heard referred to as the Meatverse, or something like that) is made up of scum of all sorts. You have your politics on all sides of the aisle and your capitalists, socialists, religious, etc, all saying they believe and fight for cause XYZ. In reality when it boils down to it, these people are phonies who just want money and/or attention (power). It's a real struggle day after day because these people--treat life as if it were a game. Unless you game them back, possibly sacrificing your own ethics and morals, it can be a taxing.
In an MMO, on the other hand, there is an established game with established rules, and depending on the game, possibly divine intervention after someone does you wrong. I've heard a couple people say they would be fine with any menial job that would allow them to afford a small place to live, food to eat, an Internet connection, and a new computer every few years. To some people, this is enough.
I get stuck on a game every so often. Lineage, RO, WoW, Eve. I can't recommend this to everyone (or anyone), but I've been able to guilt myself away from the computer screen. Buying a guitar has helped tremendously. The solution to me is to remind myself there's plenty of stuff out there that will make me feel good, not only in the moment, but lasting. I gain a lot of memories doing things away from a computer, but at a computer? Not so much.
Wino. Well the very fact that we're talking about Wino means it is observable, even if only by the absence of something else.
Wine.
From winehq, "Wine is a translation layer (a program loader) capable of running Windows applications on Linux and other POSIX compatible operating systems."
From dictionary.com:

3. Computers. a. to imitate (a particular computer system) by using a software system, often including a microprogram or another computer that enables it to do the same work, run the same programs, etc., as the first.
In conclusion, Wino is observable, and Wine is an emulator.

Not to mention that totally unrelated animals can evolve similarly in similar environments. Whales and dolphins sure look like fish sometimes..

That's nothing. Don't forget the universe was rather dull before we invented color.
Check your math. I got 83%.

Nah. This isn't funny.

Aren't you the guy who was arguing that it was perfectly safe to eat and use your cellphone while driving?
Eating while on a cell phone is hard enough! I can't imagine throwing driving into the mix.
well yeah "First Post!" doesn't even run.

Well if we switch the system over the Vista, they will be one and the same.
