Just as bad is the egg and dairy industries. They spend millions on phony research that tells people that dietary saturated fat and dietary cholesterol don't increase serum cholesterol. They do. They create faulty studies where they take people with already high cholesterol and feed them these foods, and it doesn't go up much because cholesterol levels horizontally asymptote. Take someone with an LDL of 50-70 (ideal, hunter-gatherer levels), feed them saturated fats and/or cholesterol, and cholesterol skyrockets. The other trick is to do cross sectional cohorts which the american heart association and the american college of cardiology have repeatedly said are inherently flawed because there is a "wash out" effect in these cross-sectional populations.
But of course, there's a huge market out there for "ketogenic" diet, which is not the clinical form of ketogenic diets that was created in clinical settings to help with intractable seizures in epilepsy patients where they are fed MCT oil and vitamin pills, instead it's just Atkins diet being called "Keto".
All of these recent studies "debunking" previous, well-established studies are from industry, just like all the sugar studies sponsored by industry, as well as the cigarette studies sponsored by industry (doctors used to PRESCRIBE cigarettes to pregnant women, that's how fucked up it was!).
If you like sugar, listen to the lies that sugar industry tells you. If you like fat, eggs, and butter, listen to the lies that the egg and dairy industry tells you. Heck, if you like cigarettes, go back and read the countless studies that were poorly designed but showed incredible benefits (you won't find them on pubmed because they were expunged, but you can look at the archival journals).
The unbiased, unsponsored science is clear: you should limit or ideally avoid fat (particularly saturated fat), all dietary cholesterol, processed sugar, refined or processed grains, and salt. Eat whole unprocessed foods with plenty of spices, herbs, and non-sodium seasonings, all the while not eating an excessive amount of calories and maintaining a healthy mixture of micro and macro nutrients.

That is unlikely to happen. The sale/transfer agreement usually includes significant non-compete and non-solicitation covenants. Whereas it's difficult to enforce employee non-competes in California, the CA courts have regularly and repeatedly enforced non-competes on key members who sold their stake in a company.
The problem is that you don't die right away with cancer. One could suffer quality of life issues for decades. If you ask smokers suffering from late stage cancer whether the fun was "worth it" a year or two into chemotherapy, very few will say yes.
Frankly, anyone who has dealt with late stage and terminal cancer personally or in a loved one knows no amount of "fun" is worth it. Your statement is very easy to say when you're healthy.
I upgraded a few days ago and I haven't noticed any sluggishness issues. I have an iPhone 5. I also have an iPad Retina that I haven't bothered to upgrade, but I'm hoping it'll work as well as the iPhone.
The nasty side effect is that when food is always plentiful, and we don't have the discipline to consciously manage our energy intake to sustain a healthy weight, then we blimp up.

I'm not sure that was a real quote from Cisco. It looks to me like they simply didn't want the business.
Not really, looking at the spreadsheets, it's typical pricing for Cisco. Especially once they started quoting Nexus-backed infrastructure with OTV to stretch layer-2. You'd be surprised at how many people have been biting off on massive OTV and Nexus costs with no competitive analysis. Looks like Cal State just did an objective analysis without marketing hype, and kudos to them.
Black and Decker used to be a trusted name amongst professionals until they started making toasters, household electric screwdrivers, etc. It eroded the brand. Black and Decker then took DeWalt, a brand that had languished against its competitors, but revitalized it by becoming the new name for Black and Decker's professional line of tools. Same tools, just a new name to get away from the consumer-grade equipment.
The same may happen to Cisco. Sometimes it's best to have a "professional-grade" brand versus a consumer-grade one.

You're using a newer Contivity client, and your organization has enabled NAT-T on their Nortel endpoint.
A lot of larger corporations use the older client -- Contivity 3.x which doesn't support NAT-T, or they choose to not enable NAT-T on the gateway. This is the case with a lot of Fortune 100 companies.
Nortel Contivity client has long sucked, and most people use older versions that don't support UDP encapsulation and NAT Traversal.
Getting TCP IPsec to work is an issue not just with the Airport, but with many firewalls. Try connecting a Nortel Contivity client from behind a PIX/ASA/IOS CBAC, or Netscreen for that matter (with default settings). Stateful filtering and NAT will break the VPN.
Sorry, but as someone who designs enterprise-edge security, rarely, if ever, is SSH allowed from the internet to enterprise web servers. If it is, that's a mistake. Also, for improved security, it doesn't cost much to do basic http inspects on the firewall, install a reverse HTTP proxy in a DMZ, and then deploy the web server in an enclave. You can even do it using open source software. For a good reverse proxy, take a look at pound.
You should run a brick-level backup of mailboxes that are going to be orphaned (active directory account being deleted).
A brick-level backup can be done with all sorts of backup software (Arcserve, Backup Exec, Networker) and you can restore just a single mail item if you wish, or an entire mailbox.
Of course in large environments (even smaller ones), I wouldn't recommend running a brick-level backup on all the mailboxes (slow), but it's definitely a handy feature.
PVLANs come in more useful when you have it go into an L3 switch so administrative PCs (those needing access to protected port PCs for departmental administrative access) can have their traffic forwarded through that L3 device and gain access.
I wonder how they will be able to know if we are indeed experts in our field? Will they draft only the pioneers of our field? Only those names that have published books?
Converting a web server to open source is the first step one should take even before fully considering converting to OSS.
Imagine someone saying, "I want to date 6'5 tall women because someone said good things about them", but they have only dated girls 5'2 and shorter. How likely is it that they will keep the commitment to date 6'5 people?
The only way a company truly converts to OSS is if they have a high-exposure, successful project, and once again, the web site is the best way to accomplish this. Several companies I did work for decided to convert to OSS right after we installed a *nix box running Apache.

I don't know anyone from Argentina, Brazil, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, etc., so I blackhole their addresses (along with ISP's dynamic IPs). This can sometimes cause problems, but as far as a home solution, it's great.
I block the addresses at my firewall so I automatically eliminate most of my spam as well as most port scans and scripted exploits (since a lot of them are foreign/rooted systems).
I wouldn't do this at a large company, but you can probably get away with it at a small domestic U.S. business that doesn't need international communication through the Internet.
It was more a philosophical post than a practical one. I haven't heard of the Ikung people, so I can't comment on that.
Anarchy comes from the Greek anarkhos meaning without a ruler. Communal and personal rules still exist, however, there is no political authority. As Noam Chomsky would say, all socialism is not anarchy, but all anarchy is socialist.
Umm, I was in agreement with you until the last one. An organized peaceful anarchy is possible. In an anarchist society, it is possible to be organized (worker and community groups) and peaceful.
I can understand where Bill Gates et. al. are coming from. Most people who use Windows are not very proficient at using various media players. They want to be able to click on a link and automatically have it work AND have it be consistent. Out-of-the-box functionality is what Microsoft is trying to achieve, especially for all of the regular users out there.
As far as Microsoft is concerned, those who need Real/QT can just download it from their respective sites.
I think where Microsoft should really have been hit hard was with the whole IE/Netscape saga. With that, it wasn't simply a matter of not packaging Netscape with Windows, it was a matter of Microsoft's systematic attempt to destroy Netscape as a rival browser.
Ah well, just my 2 cents. And yes, I use Windows at work, but I'm a *BSD guy everywhere else.
