This is going to be a much bigger problem on FAT32 and NTFS, than modern Linux filesystems because FAT32 and NTFS fragment after very little use.
If you're worried, increase your block size. That shouldn't be a problem if you're writing media to the disk (as opposed to a billion tiny files, in which case large blocks would waste extra disk... but still be able to withstand fragmentation...)
>It's embryonic stem cell research that conservatives don't like. Adult stem cell research is fine.
Perhaps the conservative elite feel this way, but since they campaigned on one-liners like "stem cell research is HUMAN CLONING" and "playing GOD"... I don't see how the base elements of the GOP would ever accept any stem cell research. It's still voodoo.
And the embryos are still destroyed (or frozen in perpetuity) as medical waste.
It's not exactly true that Republican conservatives are REALLY against stem cell research.
From that perspective, their platforms are profitable:
IF you: 1) position your hedge investments in China and Korea 2) politicize science, and push domestic policies which are hostile to science. 3) PROFIT! Your investments stand a good chance at riding a tidal wave (out)...
It's not just with science either.
A lot of conservatives recognize the investment value of countries which DO "socialized medicine" or "universal education through college". They'll invest in such countries, but they don't want the same thing for America. The sad part is a lot of their base really DOES believe this stuff is "country first".
The submitter presents the question as: "Can a noncommercial website use the trademark of the entity it critiques in its domain name? "
Now let's think of a REALLY EASY past example: verizonsucks.com, etc. Here we had the trademark owner asserting "brand confusion" which was laughable, except for the hoards of lawyers willing to outspend the defendant.
Now let's consider if that scenario applies here... this is a tough one, give me a minute.... NOPE. Not even close. The submitter editorializes and presents a false argument in hopes of a biased discussion.
The true question is: "Can a noncommercial website use the trademark of ANOTHER noncommercial site in similar and confusing manner?". I expect any court action to answer this question with a "no". Fair use of a trademark will mean you do not use the trademark in a confusing and similar manner. Looks to me that both sites are similar products and given the trademarked name, both are affiliated.
You could have a website called "microsoftreviews.com" and review Windows products (maybe)... but if you ALSO present your product in a similar manner as Microsoft does (ie, rip the CSS from microsoft.com) then it's no longer a gray area, and you're going to lose.
IANAL, but trademark law depends not only on "use", but presentation. The EFF is wasting my money... I'd rather see them pushing for more open government.
That's easy: Catch-all or wildcarded email address on a shared system is irresponsible.
Of course, the other guy's system is irresponsible if it wildcard-accepts during SMTP, then generates (in bulk) Delivery Status Notification emails. Fortunately, most servers are good about this nowadays... this is mostly a Microsoft Exchange issue (and these servers often land on SpamCop or Barracuda RBLS).
>This topic does take me back though, anyone remember the early days of email and the myth of getting a computer virus simply by opening an email? Never happened on my Amiga, but Microsoft turned that myth into reality with Outlook and everyone has been plaged with virus in emails ever since...
Oh COME on... that only happened to Microsoft products *once*.:-)
Sensible mail clients don't expose their users to this security risk. I'm thinking of Thunderbird, Evolution, and Gmail. (Come to think of it, I -rarely- see spam in Gmail... and my email address is in a few README files..)
All this is already out there in the form of hundreds of yeast strains.
FYI Skunky comes from UV rays interacting with hops. That's why the only beers that ship in clear bottles are low-hop. (Those still get skunky though).
Porters are light to begin with (relative to a stout), so a crisp and light porter would basically be a Dark Mild.
Milds are awesome, and one of the cheapest, easiest and fastest brews to make.
Nice troll. Unfortunately those level 5 Wizards are doing good work for Linux at Red Hat, Canonical, IBM etc. and you're just point-and-click expert with some free time while waiting for your OS to catch up. So sorry.
I'll buy that, if you believe that it's an outdated institution that is accountable to itself, and basically is just a giant bloated turd.
Then yes, the IRS works.
IF on the other hand you want less waste and less CHEATING on taxes, then a national sales tax looks much more appealing (especially since there's at least 20 million workers being paid "under the table".. many of whom also collect state benefits as they are officially unemployed).
>>Nice idea, but it'll never happen. These kinds of projects are only ever successful when a government steps in and does them properly.
>And given the government's track record with doing things properly, even THAT probably wouldn't work in the US.
I think what's often forgotten in these debates is no matter WHO builds or manages infrastructure... if the entity is not accountable, service sucks.
This is probably one of those projects that is too big for a private company to build.. there's no major incentive in overthrowing the established oil order.
Shipping automatically takes the CHEAPEST ROUTE for the shipper. Obvious, huh?
That does NOT however mean that the highways are cheaper... it's just that the US government spends $300 on roadways for every $1 it spends on rail.
The bias against rail continues only because oil-related energy firms (domestic AND foreign) find ways of greasing Washington.
Now this bleeding of capital is obviously unsustainable for the USA... and to some, that's quite possibly the POINT of the matter.
I'm VERY pleased that this also includes a Northeast link to Montreal. Quebec has been *begging* the US to cooperate on passenger rail links since the 60's, but were always snubbed by New Hampshire (which ironically, is a state which makes a TON of money off Canadian tourism).
This simply means if/when they screw up, there's no one to hold accountable (except the University itself.. and as a student, do you REALLY want to go there??).
They have the exact same powers as the Boston Police though, so it is the perfect job for candidates who crave authoritarian power, but did not pass the psych exam to be a real police officer. I honestly expected "taser" to be in the story.
Um, I'm pretty sure the Palin crowd is NOT ashamed of anything Palin said or did.
Regarding "infiltration of parties".. are you SERIOUS?
There's a documented history of the FBI infiltrating such "threats" as as Mr. King and the civil rights movement, anti-Vietnam, anti-globalization, moms who protested the Iraq-war, Act Up, and union organizers. Real scary guys, these.
The FBI will pass up chances to infiltrate (or put less effort into) VIOLENT groups like the KKK, fringe anti-abortion groups which equate bombing of clinics with freeing Nazi concentration cam prisoners, and militias and para-military groups which flout federal law.
You let me know when CEO boards are infiltrated by the FBI or others with "leftist" agenda.
One of the functions of the stimulus is to support services that the local and state funds governments have had to cut funding for over the years.
As a "die hard democrat" myself what I object most to is Jindal's tone which suggests government has no place in disaster monitoring.
After all, this is SCIENCE... and science leads to challenging GOD. Give science an inch, and they will run off and study lots of God's secrets... which should only be done to make greater weapons.
I expect any day now Jindal will clarify his statements, and rally against government monitoring levees in HIS state. After all, it's not long-dormant volcanoes that need monitoring... it's his levees that need monitoring, to protect all these homes he's allowing to be rebuilt below sea level. Such principles.
>Now, I'm gunna drive my SUV 65 miles to work tomorrow and feel ok about it.
This is the ugly side of fighting a war using an all-volunteer force...... there will always be people flaunting waste instead. Or flaunting that they're above it all.
Conserving resources for the war effort is patriotic, although you'd have to read a history book to see wealthy people doing just that.

Culturally and genetically, Britain is an mix of French, Dutch, Nordic, Celt... and Pastun.
In the context of extreme genetic isolation, perhaps better examples would be the Royal Family... or the Welsh.
Most people will mis-speak once or twice on any topic, myself and you included.
For most people anyways, what separates a one-time gaffe with ignorance is the frequency of the mistake.
You can draw a hard line on the matter and TRY to equate the two... but that's pretty incredible.

Don't think for a minute that the reactionary-brake-pullers didn't anticipate that, and invest for the outcome.

>(Wyeast 1232 is the best compromise currently produced commercially, IMHO)
Wyeast 1232 is produced commercially? I found nothing ABOUT it in The Google...
For English, I use 1275 (Burton), or Fermentis US-04. They're both awesome yeasts.
For old style ales, Wyeast 1007 (even with UK malts) for the win.
You jest, but actually one of the strongest theories for why man settled down from nomadic life... WAS because of beer.
>>All other science to this point has solely been done as groundwork for better tasting beer.
>Yes, but only so far as better-tasting beer can help scientists get laid.

Why not?
The original Reinheitsgebot didn't even mention yeast, because no one knew of it's existence.
Ah, I see the only Linux you've tried is GENTOO!

"Counter-Intel Pro" is only a conspiracy if you refuse to believe the victims AND the perpetrators.
Over the years the Federal Government has admitted to such wrongdoing, so I'm not sure if you're faking your answer or not.
