Permissions are associated with directory entries, and NOT inodes. A specific inode may have as many directory entries (hard links) as you want, and each of these can have different permissions.
Wrong. Permissions and other file metadata relate to the inode not the directory entry.
I suppose the reason noone else has bothered to point this out already is that it is trivial. But perhaps it'd better be stated explicitly.
Sorry, but balloons were part of the original system 7. Also Apple Guides (which would walk you through a task by drawing large, red friendly circles around the buttons and menus you were to click) came in 7.5 I believe. I miss it a lot, but I suppose it was too hard to do for developers, as many applications had terrible balloon help. Perhaps that's why it was abandoned. Macintosh has been degrading ever since. Mac OS X is almost as bad as Windows XP!

In other news: Greenland: Denmark has officially protested against a recently revealed operation by US Air Force at a secret base north of Thule. "We are appalled at the abuse suffered by the reindeer", said Danish environmental minister Connie Hedegaard. The USAF spokesperson George W. Santa declined to comment on questions about the nature of the research. It is suspected however, that the Air Force is investigating the use of reindeer power for strategic bombing.
Egypt: The United States Salvation Army has begun excavations in the desert. Colonel George W. Lucas, who is overseeing the progress states: "If we are lucky, we may be able to march the ark of the covenant around Falluja some time next year." The colonel is well known for is role in the upstart of the US Force Force, which is supposed to result in a lightsaber-equipped strike force before the end of this millenium.
Texas: A commission under the U.S. secretary of health is investigating a large number of teenage pregnancies. Mr. George W. Irgin gave this statement to the press: "As we all know, Texas teenagers know nothing about sex and are pledging abstinence, so the only scientific explanation is parthenogenesis. Our numerology experts are suggesting that the offspring of virgins by the name of Mary may be of interest to the US Navy and US Marine Corps, as their well-known waterwalking skills are perfect for amphibic operations."

Given that currently you cannot buy a Mac that isn't made by Apple, it would seem rather obvious that Apple profits when you buy a Mac. Why do you insist on calling this a tax?
I just read a page which said that in the case of Altamont, the mills were rotating fast, and had a tube framework construction which allowed birds to settle. That seems to be a recipe for bird disaster.
On the other hand, large, slow-rotating mills with a smooth "tower" don't seem to affect birds.
As for the view, well, look at this.. I think that mills do not necessarily ruin the view. I wouldn't place them in pristine nature like national parks, but in farmland, where the landscape is already mostly under human control, they can look quite nice. The only real issue might be noise, but even that is not as bad as the noise from roads for example.
Grow rapeseed in the mill fields, and given sufficient area, the arabs may have to start thinking about what they will do when their oil is no longer in demand.
Cold-pressed rapeseed oil can be used directly (without other processing or additives) in slightly modified diesel engines. Non-polluting (no sulphur, CO2-neutral) slightly better energy yield than normal diesel, and better engine lifetime due to its lubricating effect. Fuel cell powered cars may be nice in some faraway future, but this technology already is available and efficient.
Have you read it all? We were once told that scientific research backed the proposition that Tabacco was safe. We are being told know that many prescription drugs are safe because of "years of scientific research". How many things have we believed in the past because they were backed by "years of scientific research"?
The good thing about science is that we can get smarter, falsify hypotheses, find out we were wrong about something or at least not entirely right, even learn new stuff. Religious people can't, as they think they already know the truth (=believe in a god.) So they remain stupid.
Someone who believes he can't be wrong, always is. Someone who believes he can be wrong, sometimes isn't.

It is meaningless to "logically explain how there is no God". Just as it is meaningless to logically explain how there is no Santa. Santa, as a concept exists. But in reality, everytime you see a Santa, it's some guy with a fake beard and a red coat with a pillow underneath. Same thing with God. God is a lie (fiction is too weak a word), invented by some stoneage guy with a wild imagination, and rewritten and rephrased over and over by malicious priests to suit their needs. I don't know about you, but I don't want my children, or anyone else for that matter, fucked - in the head or elsewhere - by any malicious priest.
Regarding logic, you are wrong too. Logic alone is void. It is a tool to operate on statements, which may have meaning attached to them or not. Apply logic to nonsense, and you get just more nonsense. Apply logic to facts (measurements, observations) and you get science.
It doesn't matter very much where I live; I think it's the attitude that matters. Of course it helps if you live in a country where having this attitude will not have you arrested. (Some years ago an actress from my country was in New York, and left her baby sleeping in the baby carriage outside a cafe while she and her friend were having a drink. She was arrested and put through quite an ordeal.)

Thank you! After posting my incorrect correction (incorrection?), I recalled having read that explanation. I could find it right away in my copy of _The Works of Lewis Carroll_, although I know it's in there.
It further follows from what you said, that the only way to fight terrorism and uphold civilisation is to be unafraid and civilised - everyone of us, everywhere. Be nice, and naively expect others to be nice as well.
Terrorists can't scare me. The worst they could do would be to harm my children, but they could be harmed by so many far more likely things. If I wanted to protect them from being run over by cars, I would have to keep them away from the streets, and they would never learn to act sensibly in the world. I'd be doing them a disservice. Instead I teach them to be careful and sensible.
I live in a peaceful country. I don't lock my door, sometimes I even go to the grocery for a short while, leaving the door unlocked. My bike stands unlocked in front of the house. Our neighbors walk past it every day. I just expect people to respect my property because this is a civilised country, not because I might own a gun. Which of course I don't.
It actually works well most of the time, except for a small minority.
Naturally, we too have the "scare-scourge", people who become afraid due to sensationalist news reporting. Their fear becomes hatred, and is for instance turned against immigrants. Sure, immigrants may have a slightly higher crime ratio, yet even immigrants can learn to act civilised - but only if we expect them to.
I prefer to be consciously naive and fearless. I presume people are innocent until proven guilty, and I don't hide myself from the world, which I why I use my full, unique name. By trying to be a good example I hope to change the world just a little bit to the better.

This is true - a good friend of mine is a fire fighter in a major city. Firing the incompetent is nearly impossible, so if you suck they promote you to where you can no longer endanger the lives of others.
This was described by L. J. Peter in The Peter Principle. I believe this particular method is Apparent Exception #1: Percussive Sublimation.
Mme. Maier's methods appear to be an inversion of creative incompetence.
Although obviously there's no substance to analyse, so all that can be analysed is the rhetoric, I still don't understand why anyone would bother doing such an analysis. That "logical analysis" you link to is just about as pointless as the keynote itself. Fun, but pointless.
Or is it just the way law-people think? "If there's nothing else to attack, attack the rhetorics".
It is absolutely amazing how people can refer to a standard when they obviously have either not read it or not understood it.
Chapter 6 concerns itself with address specifications. The syntax in paragraph 6.1 specifies: addr-spec = local-part "@" domain local-part = word *( "." word ) ; uninterpreted, case-preserved
So the local-part is UNINTERPRETED and has its case PRESERVED, presumably to allow case-sensitive handling locally. Moreover, the use of a "."-separated list of words does not imply any structure imposed or recognised by SMTP, it is merely a conveient way to avoid quotes in a large number of cases ("... such occurences carry NO semantics.").
The exception is the local-part "Postmaster" which is required to be recognized using any mixture of case.
So SMTP-servers are not case sensitive, but case preserving when it comes to the local part. The delivery or non-delivery of a message to a recipient however, is a local matter, and SMTP doesn't care about what happens, and whether case-sensitivity is used for this.
It just so happens that local mail systems these days are not case sensitive, although I believe the broken SVR2.2+some bsd+some SVR3/4 based A/UX system I used in the early nineties might very well have been.
(Quotes typed manually from the copy of RFC-822 which I printed out in about 1991 or so. Yes, about the same time some Berners-Lee guy made a few grave mistakes which would end up as the mess we now know as WWW.)
