Commonness

Very long boat is the twenty-seventh most common still life in Achim Flammenkamp's census, being less common than boat-ship-tie but more common than tub with tail.[1] It is also the thirty-sixth most common object on Adam P. Goucher's Catagolue.[2]

gollark: Makes sense, makes sense...
gollark: Well, you can use a password lock if you're weird and like that. Otherwise, nothing except userdata wipe, which is also mostly for weird/silly people.
gollark: No.
gollark: Anyway, PotatOS features- sandboxing to /potatOS/- easy copying to disks- updating from disks/tapes- auto-update program- userdata wipe program for removing poorly programmed virii- `fortune`, `chuck`, `norris`, `dwarf` commands, because why not- occasionally prints backwards, messes with palette- password lock
gollark: It had heavy sandboxing to prevent access to most stuff.
