Companies don't want to buy N websites (microsoft.*)
Companies pretty much have to do [1] to maintain their trademark[s]
international characters could make phishing attacks even worse with lookalike websites
Personally, I think the WTO should require member states to pass legislation that allows companies to not register N websites to maintain their marks. As far as [3] is concerned, well, that's what Search and Bookmarks are for, isn't it?
VeriSign used to say that there were "technical issues" with having lots of TLDs. This is just bullshit as Karl Auerbach proved several years ago (too lazy to look up a URL).
The most intriguing fallout from this idea has to do with the strength of the vacuum energy inside the dark energy star. This energy is related to the star's size, and for a star as big as our universe the calculated vacuum energy inside its shell matches the value of dark energy seen in the universe today. "It's like we are living inside a giant dark energy star," Chapline says. There is, of course, no explanation yet for how a universe-sized star could come into being.
Furthermore, I submitted a question to the EPA about this issue, if it makes you feel any better. Supposedly I'll have a response within 15 days. I already pay for wind and other clean energy through Austin Energy's GreenChoice program. It was more expensive, though right now it's slightly cheaper due to "outrageous" prices for natural gas. Eventually, I'd like to see them ween off of coal altogether or at least convert to a cleaner-burning system.
Making your shredder, distribuiting your shredder, running your shredder and the recycling process itself burns things; outside of the carbon cycle. The very existence of your shredder isn't particularly enviromentally friendly either.
This is entirely beside the point, KFG. What's not friendly is being sent this stuff in the first place. To quote you, "You have to look at the whole system"... preferably at the beginning.
I signed up to opt out and I now get MORE offers. This is because their automated system didn't handle my name correctly and it's spelled no less than 3 different ways at the 3 different credit agencies.
Since I'll be moving soon I've decided not to bother with it until afterward.
I also use it for shredding receipts. I recycle them all (which is slightly healthier for the environment than burning the paper, doesn't heat up the house here in Austin, TX, and doesn't catch the state on fire (see CNN)). I'm not worried beyond shredding because it's much easier to raid some poor sap's unlocked mailbox than it would be to bother piecing together a bunch of shreds.
Security is about making someone else look easier to attack... which makes me think of that Mind of Mencia episode where Carlos is talking about Africa: The Serengetti narrated by James Earl Jones. The 3-legged deer stays alive by staying with the herd whereas the "der-de-der" deer lags behind and gets eaten.

p.s., No, I don't consider you dinner. Just to clear that up.
Maybe I shouldn't admit this in public, but the first time I saw the printer is on fire message, I panicked. It was obviously hyperbole, but I thought maybe something was awry. I was kinda glad when they decided to ditch the message because it is misleading, especially when you're a n00b.
Right, which is why I don't recommend most decafs.:) If you genuinely love coffee, you drink decaf. Everyone else is just a caffeine whore!
OK OK I'm exaggerating. The nice thing about the quality decaf that I buy is that I get to drink a pot every day. If I was drinking that much caffeinated, I'd never get proper sleep and experience various health problems. I got sick of the insomnia so I quit about three years ago.
On Fridays, sometimes I'll mix in a little caffeinated from upstairs to get a little buzz.
Know your genes OR switch to decaf!:) Yeah, I'm aware of that recent study that says decaf may be bad for you. However, it didn't study the various kinds of decaf and I seriously doubt water-filtered Arabica decaf is very much different from run-of-the-mill Arabica coffee.
Yes, I am saddened that there are 44 million people in my country without health insurance. Typically, they only have access to emergency care and what they can pay for out of pocket. However, that is neither here nor there nor likely to be very many Slashdotters.
We maintain a fairly balanced diet in our household and supplement those things that are hard to get enough of. Vegetables are an important component in that, but we don't feel it's necessary to spend an unwieldly amount of time micromanaging. My wife doesn't eat dead animals (including fish) and we do our best -- within reason -- to make sure she gets what she needs as well as what I and my son need.
As I understand it, Grande has greatly reduced the scale of their roll-out recently after the bankers called them up and said, "uh hey uh are we gonna get our money back ever?" Apparently, this is why their CEO left awhile back. I can't find a good article about any of that, unfortunately, so it's just hearsay as far as you're concerned.:) I have been checking my area (Far West) for connectivity for several years now and they still haven't rolled it out there (even though I've seen their trucks driving around and their Austin support location is north of Parmer on Mopac...).
Yeah, no kidding. I actually take advantage of this regularly. My main email is a.info domain and a lot of sites choke on it. My first "hack" is "turn off javascript, reload, resubmit". It usually works. I swear to god the monkeys that shit code these days...
After that, I follow-up with a "Contact Us" email about their website being broken. I've had some success in getting people to fix the problem. I usually recommend they do the same thing with email addresses as passwords -- have users type it twice. Slightly annoying but helpful in preventing accidental bounces.
The symptoms of protein deficiency are fatigue, irritability and lethargy followed by growth failure (in children), loss of muscle mass, swelling and immune deficiency. Your wife is not dizzy from a lack of protein. You already knew this, because you're pumping her full of protein and it's not helping - if her problem is anaemia, your "treatment" can even be considered counter-productive. Now please take her to a doctor to find out what is really wrong.
My wife was a vegetarian for about 10 years before I met her. The only cure for her dizziness is eating something with protein in it as she learned long before I ever met her. She has other ills which I will not detail here in the interests of our privacy, but needless to say, as white middle class Americans in a good sized city, our medical necessities are well provided for.
Hell, even I get dizzy if I haven't eaten in a long while. I don't see that it's such a stretch for her to have linked it to protein intake. She's definitely knows her body very well.
I'm not going to get into an argument about catching salmonella from vegetables.
That's fine, but you're still wrong about contributing to diseases that will kill us all. It's a damn good thing humans eat so many different kinds of things because we'd be way easier to kill if we just ate a few things.
If you don't want to eat cute puppies, that's fine. But don't go lording it over everyone else because you have chosen a different ethical path. The entire point of my post was that vegetables are not perfect foods and that diseases are highly adaptable. It was not an invitation for you to remotely micromanage our relationship with our health professionals. Nor was my post intended to critique your relationship with your chosen prey. I couldn't care less what you eat.
Vegetables are not magic. You can get hepatitis, salmonella, and E. coli from vegetables and fruits and you can get dizzy spells from not eating enough protein. I know cause my wife is a vegetarian and I cook for her.
Diseases are opportunistic and highly adaptable. If the whole world went vegetarian tomorrow it would be 10 years or less before we started seeing even more vegetable-borne diseases than we have today.
This guy is completely correct. I read an article in Salon a long ass time ago where the author bought a cow and sent it through the whole feedlot process. This is exactly why it got antibiotics. He still ate it. (Afterward, though, he started buying grassfed... don't really blame him...;)
