The probability is about 15 million to 1 against a baby being harmed by honey. If you really care, why don't you avoid putting the baby in a car seat (200,000 to 1 chance of death every time Baby goes for a ride)?
The "no honey for babies" thing makes as much sense as the "no aspirin for children" thing. Some kid died from an ultra-rare syndrome and the parents decided to make the death "meaningful" by going on a crusade against a usually-harmless substance.
Breast milk is much better than honey, anyway.
Read the article, it was due to scheduling conflicts. Don't make it sound like he's blowing it off
A "scheduling conflict" means he blew it off. There were two places he could have been and he chose the other place.
LinuxWorld is a big thing that he should be making but he doesn't work for Linux. Linux doesn't cut his paychecks, Microsoft does. And if he's got something to do internally, leave it at that.
Microsoft wanted him at the office more than they wanted him at the conference. That means the company told him to "blow it off". Don't make it sound like he and they had no choice. They made a choice to blow off this conference.
SPEAKER: . . . and THAT, my fellow Democrats, is why we must defeat this lying fascist criminal war-mongering scum-sucking vermin toad, who, in the interest of remaining positive, I am not going to mention by name.
This explains why electronic voting is not a good idea right now. Diebold is in bed with a lying fascist criminal war-mongering president. I hope the international observers (plus Jimmy Carter) can catch him on some election irregularities--then other countries would be justified in not recognizing Bush's government after January.

MAPS-DUL says it's Comcast's fault for buying blocks of dial-up IP's from failed start-ups and not reregistering them. Since January '03 their home page has been telling Comcast customers to complain about this. I haven't bothered; I just route around them.
But it's a pain to have to override my anti-spam software not to reject emails that have passed through formerly-spammy IP's now owned by my ISP, who keeps buying new ones!
> Is there any reason in particular that it *must* go through your mail server?
Yes. I use Comcast Cable in New Jersey. MAPS-DUL says smtp.comcast.net is a dial-up line, so I can't post to the gcc.gnu.org mailing lists, which reject emails from dial-ups and free accounts. I have to send the mail via ssh to my employer's computer and send from their IP.

Yeeagh! I use NetGear MA401 + 600E + RH8! We should form a club. Oh wait...
