Several factors.

1. Genetic trait that attracts mosquitoes and biting insects.

2. Dietary sugars including no-sugar supplements.

3. BO and FO as well as high metabolism that produces significantly higher body temps and CO2 volume in breath.

BO = Body odour. FO = Foot odour.

I can tell you for a fact, in 1999, we were running Windows3.11 and MSDOS 5.x on a brand-new Pentium II ? or something like that, because the DSP-board and daughter-card system didn’t like Win2k. We were all on the network. Everyone ran Win2k Pro while loading the test codes via network / SMB/CIFs share to that machine.

Same could be done using Linux on all those systems except for the test rig.

NO YOU DO NOT have to use Windows on your desktop just for your toolchain. Put that shit on a separate test-rig and isolate it.

Best Practices and Good Standard procedures makes it possible to use Linux on the Desktop.

It is a matter of ability and talent to do things properly using the best tools at any given time.

Kickbacks from MicroShaft to all C-suite and “special” org-wide discounts if they disband and ban Linux desktop projects.

Even though Linux corporate desktop has the least cost, least number of tickets, least security breaches, fastest transparent updates, easiest automation/customization/tracking, everything is cheaper secure no-brainer no-headaches.

Top-level execs still get to play with their Mac-books and Windoze systems. Linux for the rest of us. But no, all banned for Windox on all systems… security/BSODs/threats incoming 3…2…1… nobody in C-suite cares… they got their paychecks!!!

I wish Nokia N900 / N950 with Maemo or Meego OS. And full opensource, full MPL or MIT licensed.

I truly wish SailfishOS could be that replacement but I’ve been burnt too many times already.

Now only to be found on LG TVs. :-(

That too NT 5.x ! I wish we had stuck with Windows 2000 Professional.

Compared to barrels of crude oil, I am sure a SINGLE Block of Aluminium can be reused more than 1000X times with no environment damage.

Arm them with some special training and survival skills and send them back. Don’t just skip on the opportunity to disrupt Putin’s idiocy.

Also offer full benefits for every high-level Putin govt official and Putin-enabler that they “bring back” with them with lots of “proof”.
