Gaius Musonius Rufus was born before 30 C.E. He affirmed Stoic orthodoxy in teaching that neither death, injury, insult, pain, poverty, nor exile is to be feared since none of them are evils. He praised the married life with lots of children. He argued that women should receive the same education in philosophy as men, since the virtues are the same for both sexes. Musonius condemned all luxuries and disapproved of sexual activity outside of marriage. He believed that philosophy must be studied not to cultivate brilliance in arguments or an excessive cleverness, but to develop good character, a sound mind, and a tough, healthy body. He also called for austere personal habits, including the simplest vegetarian diet, and minimal, inexpensive garments and footwear, in order to achieve a good, sturdy life in accord with the principles of Stoicism. Though philosophy is more difficult to learn than other subjects, it is more important because it corrects the errors in thinking that lead to errors in acting. He advocated a commitment to live for virtue, not pleasure, since virtue saves us from the mistakes that ruin life. Renowned as a great Stoic teacher, Musonius conceived of philosophy as nothing but the practice of noble behavior.

Rufus offers custom Cluster Size and Format options, including the option to encode your disk in MS-DOS or FreeDOS or create an ISO image you can burn to disk. The File System menu is your USB drive's format, such as FAT (default) or FAT32 (our drive) though Rufus supports NTFS, UDF, and exFAT, too. Most Windows users will want the default partition scheme, MBR for BIOS or UEFI computers, but Rufus also supports MBR and GPT schemes for UEFI machines. It identified five system devices, including the USB thumb drive we chose for our bootable disk.

Rufus Portable's user interface is small and efficient in layout.
#Rufus portable#
The portable version of Rufus comes from PortableApps, which takes exceptional open-source freeware and creates reliable portable versions. It greatly eases the process of making a bootable disk, using a USB-attached storage device, including thumb drives and external HDDs. But USB-attached storage devices holding gigabytes of data are everywhere. Now optical drives are disappearing, too.

Years ago, bootable disks were floppies then came CDs.

If the patient's condition is more serious, you might even need a bootable disk to recover your OS, disk, or entire system from the full backup you also made (you did, right?).
#Rufus Pc#
When your PC won't start, the bootable disk you created in a rare moment of foresight will often let you boot into Safe Mode or System Recovery, where you can fix the problem and reboot normally. Rufus Portable creates a bootable USB drive that can help you recover your system when very bad things happen to it.
