1. If your food is late/wrong in a restaurant, do you make a fuss, and is your decision affected by who you’re with, if anyone?

I usually wouldn't make a fuss, unless the error rendered the meal inedible.

2.What was your first ever modem?

2400 baud generic internal in a Magnavox 386 SX20MHz desktop with 640k of RAM, 80MB HDD and a 3.5" and 5.25" floppy drive. ZMODEM protocol changed everything in the BBS days.

3. You find a credit card on the street. Nobody is around. What do you do?

Make a moderate effort to find the owner, and if I can't, cut it up.

4. What’s the most precious thing you ever lost, whether that be in terms of actual monetary value, sentimental value or the amount of work put into it, or its uniqueness?

Mine's a very sentimental response. My first long-term girlfriend gifted me a teddy bear I named, "Rupert." He was lost years ago. I've never been able to find one like him.

5. How often do you virus check your computer?

I'm a Linux user. I reboot once annually for good measure. Social engineering is a greater threat than malware in the Linux world.

6. Would you rather have central heating, a gas fire, an electric fire or a real coal fire?

Central would be nice. I have a gas lit fireplace with a remote and just replaced my furnace. Had the option to install central air at the time but I really only use two small rooms in my entire house so it seemed like it would be a waste.
