    Cheers! It's good when someone doesn't just get upset after an exchange or two and leave with an insult :)

    dban is great, but is slow. Wiping a 500gb drive takes several hours at least.

    Shred and the like are only useful when you don't have a journaling filesystem. So that means anything but ext2 (including ext3) defeats it.

    Why are you arguing against something I didn't refute!? I JUST SAID I AGREE WITH YOU ON ALL THE OTHER POINTS.

    My post was only to clarify that there indeed -is- a reason to move PLEX. I even said I agree with you that it was retarded to do so under the given circumstances!

    Also, the Kestrel is not a noob ship. T2/T3 equipment is -expensive-, put a well-trained character in a T1 ship and you can watch him still kick some ass, and lose a hell of a lot less when he does go pop. Everything will go pop eventually. Might as well make it a cheap pop.

    The way the post reads (to me) is that you were using the "impossibility" of the alternative to support your argument against the wife.

    I was refuting this point, showing that your argument was not as strong as you were making it out to be.

    However there is also no need to ever undock with one PLEX never mind 74.

    You've made one error here - prices can vary by location, and buying/selling is location sensitive.

    I'm not arguing about anything else, he definitely acted the fool - but still.

    The lucilia sericata (green bottle fly) seems to be the one you are thinking of. Lab-bread ones are fine, but in the wild you may be unlucky and the fly that decides to lay eggs in your wound might be carrying far worse then what is already growing in there... It's a risk - but if you are to chose between death by gangrene and.... a lesser chance of dying of gangrene, I think it's an obvious decision.

    You don't know much about diabetes do you? Go look it up.

    Also, dogs seem to have an instinctual urge to lick/chew unhealthy tissue. I could see it happening.

    Hostile attitude, disrespect for law enforcement officers - helps color your character the wrong way.

    #ubuntu on freenode is just as bad. Though, that's mostly because there are worse than 10 people with problems to every one with an answer. You still get your share of trolls etc just like anywhere else, but the ops usually remove them quickly.
