1. Port and starboard seem to have roots back to 1300s at the least, which predates clockwise.
Well, sorta. It predates the word "clockwise", but not the concept. On sundials in the northern hemisphere, the shadow moves clockwise, which is why clocks were made to run that way too. Before there was "clockwise" and "counterclockwise" there was "sunwise" (or "deasil") and "widdershins", which referred to the same directions.
Obviously you do not know what Port and Starboard mean... by definition they are unambiguous.
No, by definition they are fixed to a frame of refereence and are only unambiguous as long as you do not step outside that frame. Consider two ships, one northbound, one southbound. Port on one ship is the opposite direction from port on the other.
The CRC Handbook may have been a "pocketbook" when it first came out in 1914 with 116 pages, but by the 7th edition in 1918 it was already over 500 pages, and the 11th edition in 1926 was over 1000.
"[T]he UTM apparently does attack detection before filtering, so that didn't stop the alerts. And although I *could* disable port scan alerts, it's an all-or-nothing thing"
Untrue. In his day, Burroughs was a best seller. Conservative estimates are that he sold 30 million books, while more generous estimates range up to 60 million. John Carter was popular but never his biggest seller--that, of course, was Tarzan. I note that Disney's animated Tarzan movie did quite well for itself.
That would be because in a parliamentary democracy, the president is usually a mostly ceremonial position. You should be comparing the US president to the prime minister of most western democracies.
And since the Senate already approved it months ago it just needs a presidential signature I believe.
No, don't work that way. The House and the Senate must pass identical bills before it can go to the president. The fact that the House amended this means the Senate must pass the amended bill--however, the betting is that they probably will.

I would, but it appears to be broken. Could someone, ironically, be DDOSing it?

Port and starboard are only unambiguous if you're on a ship.

In this age of Google, you can't stump people that way any more. You forgot idclip, by the way.
BOO-YAH!

Fahrvergnuegen. Or possibly Funkengruven.
Amazing.
Astounding.
Something similar?
I guarantee it can be switched off. You might have trouble switching it on again, but then, the guy who turned it off may not care much about that.
