That's not the only issue; there's also a lot of compliance issues that having a hosting company can take care of. There's whole sections of PCI and HIPPA compliance that you can j…

Nah, there's no role-play. The difference is between "Ok nerds, log in your eve clients, get on mumble, and undock and press F1 to shoot this guy. Someone pull up the map on Dotlan…

He ... has a history. Plus, I mean, trying to get out-of-game details like address/name is a big no-no in Eve (and should be in any internet game). Leave it in game.

Oh god, my mom has a glass (pyrex?) cutting board. It's SO BAD for knives, and all of her nice knives are so dull, I can barely stand to cook in her house.

Yep. It's always good to know there's a [preexisting solution]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finger_protocol ). Queue hordes of people typing "man finger"...
