    This is the Church of Scientology, the group that does the fair game thing. When Google passes the counter notifications to them, they're going to know the names and addresses of everyone behind the videos.

    Don't know. What was the state of UPnP support 18 months ago? When I was setting it up *nix was my first consideration, but google didn't seem to have know if it'd have UPnP, so I took the lazy way out.

    I just use a cheap Pentium 2 running Windows XP with Internet Connection Sharing. Disabled the automatic updates and firewalled it properly over 18 months ago, and haven't had to touch the machine since.

    There's a reason why linguists don't go anal over these things. The point of language is to communicate and be understood by the other side. So long as that happens, it doesn't really matter what happens with the language itself. If a change makes it harder to communicate, then it won't catch on. Popular misinterpretation of phrases often comes from the interpretation making more sense than the original usage. Here: to beg for a question is to invite it. Meanwhile, where in premise-assuming is the question?
