1) It takes about a month to fly an interceptor. I'd far rather have a newbie in an interceptor than a battleship, they'll be worthless learning in the battleship. This is just plain wrong.
2) This has vastly improved with the creation of the internal affairs department. The problem with CCP is more incompetence (mostly on the part of the low-level GMs) than outright malice.
3) The Reinforced node system helps, but is too limited. This is honestly the biggest issue with the game. The servers need to be able to support the player base.
I play EVE because I enjoy small scale combat with meaningful risks. If I wanted to have epic battles with thousands of ships I'd probably be disappointed in it, but for 10-20 man roaming gangs it's very fun.
It's been discussed since 2002, with the curious yellow whitepaper. As discussed there it can actually be more efficent in some ways than a centralized worm.
Quite true, but the cloud provider by definition has physical access to your machines, while you don't. It becomes much harder to notice problems when the attacker owns the computer.
You have to have a good method of code signing in place, and still have to have a central server to distribute the keys/signatures. P2P lets any of the peers start influencing the communication and possibly insert malicious code. Simple checksums aren't enough, and MITM attacks become very easy. It's perfectly possible, just a bit more work.
Latin adjectives are given in the nominative singular case with the endings for masculine and nonmasculine forms, unless such forms are the same, in which case genitive singular case is used.
Vivus -a -um is a 1st/2nd declension (not sure, they're the same) adjective. Thus ksemlerK's use would be either dative or ablative. (giving life, having life or from life, roughly)
Verbs have their present active infinitive (or passive, for deponent verbs) and any other endings needed to insure correct spelling indicated.
Seco, secare, secui, sectum, to cut.This is therefore 1st conjugation. I'd guess ksemlerK used passive perfect indicative (though context would be needed, it sure isn't "to cut".) Effectively, "it has been cut".
It's been a bit since I took Latin, FYI. Info should be correct, since I checked it.
I once fixed a computer that had some hardware damage to the motherboard.
A mouse had taken up residence inside, along with a rather good-sized colony of black widow spiders. The mouse was dead, either from electrocution or the spiders, and had chewed through a good bit of the motherboard to make its nest. Some people don't take any care of their things.
I had similar problems. I switched to SimpleMachines Forum and Tinyportal. Sure, it's not a full CMS, but it works well and doesn't waste my time with debugging.
If nature produces a singularity it will be a perfect sphere (if stationary) or torus (if spinning). The fact that it is infinitely small doesn't detract from it being as close to a perfect circle as is possible.
I was wondering about this basic question a while ago. My dad is a (low-level) audiophile. I played the same track (Bach's Air for G String) in a double blind test using FLAC, MP3 128, 192, 256, and 320kbps, 44.1khz sample rate. Vandersteen Model 2Ce Signature II speakers (~= $2200/pair), not sure off the top of my head of the sound card but it's mid-range. Using Foobar 2000's ABX comparator he could easily tell the 128kbps from the FLAC, fell just inside the range for statistical significance (P-value 0.048) on the 192, and was unable to tell the difference between anything higher and the FLAC. (Actually, he gave up on the 320kbps track, as he felt he could not hear any differences and was merely guessing. He did not know the results of the previous tests.)
While this is merely an anecdote, the ABX comparator in Foobar is easy to use. Similar tests with various styles of music could easily become a reliable study.
At some point I should also test re-encoding from 320 to 128 vs flac to 128. I store my music as FLAC because of the conventional wisdom that re-encoding from lossless is always going to be better than from lossy, but I'm not sure how much better.
Since Kelvin is indicated just by the K, no degree sign, there should be no need to post the degree sign. "Degrees Kelvin" is a misunderstanding of the system of units.
The professional ("enterprise") level VMs (VMWare ESX, etc, not workstation or a desktop install of VirtualBox) are their own OS. They therefore do not have as many OS dependencies as any other app, unless that app is an OS.
I think there's another effect in play. Do you know any of your town's police officers? Do you have beat cops? Or do they only seem to be present when something has gone wrong? For all my life it's been only the second. Seeing a policeman means something bad happened. This causes nervousness, and that feeling seems to apply to most people. Police = bad things happening.
The problem, of course, is that the police are there to fix problems. Seeing them should cause a feeling of relief: the police have come to help you. Instead the ingrained feeling of nervousness is far more important. The police are uniforms that appear when something goes wrong, not any kind of regular presence. You don't know them, they have power over you, and thus their effectiveness at calming the populace after an incident is decreased.
It's easier to get data about what's deep under the surface by blowing that stuff up so it lands on top than it is to build a digging machine. The machine has to carry a big battery, drill, etc, while the impactor just has to hit hard. Given orbital velocities, hitting hard is very easy.
If smug had mass Debian users (myself included) would have collapsed the world into a black hole by now.
That said, I've got to get back to using my carefully and conscientiously designed OS.
Was I being to condescending there? By the way, to be "condescending" means "to talk down to."

Ed is a perfectly good editor. And it IS the standard.
(.)a is append mode, with the line address before it. eg: "25a" enters append mode at line 25.
(.,.)c is change mode. the lines are deleted, new lines appended in their place. eg: "24,26c"
d works like c, but just deletes the lines.
i is insert mode.
typing a single "." on a line alone exits the editing mode.
w writes the file out.
q exits.
Ed does have a nice manpage, and can be powerful enough for most basic tasks.
VI is part of the POSIX standard. Knowing how to use VI is thus important, as any UNIX/Linux system will have VI, while Emacs might not be installed.
Myself, I use Ed.

ED is the standard text editor!

No, it wouldn't. At least, not always.
Broke into the system anyway. Physical access lets you do that pretty easily.
Yes, Cygwin does run under WINE. And WINE runs under Cygwin. It can be an amusing stress test.

Warranty void if seal is broken.
Also, if they bomb the checkpoints what is the response going to be? More checkpoints further out? An infinite array of security checkpoints?

KeepassX is just KeePass with a UI for X-windows.(Linux/OSX). Other variants are similar, such as KeePassMobile or KeePassDroid.

Install the SessionManager extension to get finer grained control of such things.
