and blackholed the domain even as it loves to reinstall itself. You absolutely don't need it. Maybe 1 thing out of a thousand doesn't work (usually some lame video thing) and nothing is that critical. And the problems you don't have by eliminating it?
Forget the security stuff it's the part where it takes ages to load then hangs is what did it for me. And on a 4-way scsi raid should it really still be slow?
Worthless garbage. Always was, and now it's way way worse.
On the other hand it appears there's a near universal consensus that is wrong, seemingly because they got their opinion by reading Time or some guys blog without looking at the actual data instead.
It's not just commercial software companies that do this, you're confusing $$$ with ethos.
I was working on a payment thing for some new york guys using freebsd. We had a terminal problem with SSL. We dontated $100 and had a bug fixed that afternoon. Buddy spent more than that on lunch.
Having said that I had to so some awful screwing around on my daughters xp laptop for the last couple of days getting the product key to work (she has a real xp license).
I've used Unix since 76 and moved from LA to Toronto in 90 so I remember what was around pretty well.
Certainly in the 80s if you were using Unix you had ATT sources or Xenix from Microsoft or BSD on some computers. Workstations of the day such as Apollo an Sun and others came with Unixy things. They cost and these wern't home machines. Home machines didn't really have the memory management to run it anway. This was the 286-->396 period, other home computers had 68000's which wern't gonna cut it either. Sadly the 68K stuff died out but, the 386 stuff could run Unix and it began to take off.
By 91 you had your choice of BSDi or very early FreeBSD or very early Linux. Not really ready for prime time but usable (for some definition of "usable"). By the mid 90s BSDI was gone and FreeBSD was stable. I think I used 2.2 from 92 or 93 for a long time and didn't update till 5.5 or something. 2.2 was that good.
You could buy stuff like SCO, but not if you knew what you were doing.
"Going beyond its own ownership of new gTLDs, VeriSign is also positioned to help other applicants in their bids. Bidzos noted that applicants for approximately 220 new gTLDs selected VeriSign to provide back-end registry services."
NSI is the back end for other applicants. This isn't the same as NSI applying for 220 domains which is what the article hints at.
The difference is, organic stuff occurs naturally, it's there anyway and the planet nows what to do with it. Not quote the same as synthetic versions.
Non-organic food may have the edge on quantity, but organic food has more nutrition, arguably the nutrition you're paying for. For instance there's a phytoallexin made in response to mold that is the raw material the body uses to kill tumor cells. Since it's made in response to mold, any food that's had fungicide sprayed on it isn't going to have any.
This is one of the reasons cancer has shot up since WWII when they began using synthetic fungicides, pesticides and fertilizers just after to the war to feed a bumper crop of boomers.
"It also helps that we didn't have to dismantle civilization to get rid of CFCs."
We replaced CFCs with HCFCs. They're only 90% as bad. DuPont got paid to recycle the old CFCs and make all the new HCFCs and all the gear. They did it to make money. I sat next to a DuPont exec on a plane one time and he told me this. And by told I mean "bragged".
The thing is though, there's no such thing as a homogenious "cancer" it's a condition where cells grow without limit and there's many different kinds. And what we've learned recently is cancer cells get their energy directly from glucose not adenosine triphosphate like human cells do.
Now, vitamin C used to be made as the last of four biochemical steps. There was a mutation many million years ago where the last step mutated and made fat instead of C. This gave us the evolutionary advantage that we didn't have to hunt every day as long as we got external vitamin C.
Now go look at a diagram of a molecule of glucose and a molecule of C. Notice how they're quite similar? That's not a coincidence. So, what happens is tumor cells take in C instead of glucose and it doesn't give them the fuel they would have got from glucose. If the level of C in the blood is high enough and glucose is low enough, some cancers will starve to death and go away. How could they not, their food source has been taken away.
There are tens of thousands of people who have cancer go into lifelong remission because of this - and others where it didn't help. Hell, Linus (Pauling) himself died of cancer (albeit at 96). So, there needs to be some explanation how these people's cancer went away, possibilities are: it went into spontaneous remission (why? too many to be a coincidence), a miraculous event happened (unlikely) or, it worked.
One of my old friends had doctor certified bowel cancer 20 years ago, that he cured with some herbal shit and diet. We can't just ignore these and say they never happened. Given the abysmal rate we have curing cancer we should at least be looking at these, not sticking our heads in the sand, saying "psuedoscience" and ignoring it.
Ironically, when the efficacy of C was first discovered the exact same thing happened. Jacques Cartier got stuck in Canada unexpectedly over the winter and his men began getting scurvy and were near death. They showed some Indians the men, they shook their heads, made some pine tea and said "drink this you idiots" - they did and got better almost immediately. When they got back to Yurrup and explained what happened, medical "science" such as it was in the seventeenth century, said, literally "we have nothing to learn from savages" and it took another 300 years to figure out what C was and why we needed it. That's what's happening here, although hopefully it won't take 300 years this time.
This is easy to prove to yourself: next time you have an infection, take 6 grams of C, and gram every hour or so for a day. Now look at that infected thing the next day. It's kinda dramatic. There is no practical LD for C, it's found in the body anyway and has no side effects. It's safer than anything you can get from a pharmacy.
So change the wording. "Here's the history and science behind it, here's 30,000 case studies that worked, that's your history lesson for today, sign here that you understand this is not nutritional advice".
Pffffffffft. We can argue this in court for ages. I got time, how are those legal bills lookin at taxpayer expense.
So if somebody says "I'm thirsty" and you way "drink some water" you''re "diagnosing conditions and recommending treatment plans" ?
Technically, yes. We aren't bothered by this, and why? It's stuff everybody knows, and you don't need peer reviewed journals to back this up, it's grandfathered.
One could make the point that so is the dietary advice he's handing out (and doesn't go far enough with, he's missing a couple of key points) is also grandfathered, look it up in any journals of evolutionary biology. Keywords: encephalization, vitamins.
NC is trying to protect their licensing revenue, and just for laughs, their policies are based on a combination of hokum and paid-for "advice" from big agro. Check for yourself. You know enough now to do that. Google scholar and medline are two good places to start.
"So I think the board is trying to do Crooksey a favor because here's what's going to happen. Someone is going to die after telling their family members that they've stopped seeing a regular doctor and went holistic"
Sure, that's the kind of nonsense I'd expect to hear from a lawyer in court who doesn't know anything about science.
Fortunately the defense is easy. You bring in a dozen articles from some journals of evolutionary biology and point it "that's what we've eaten for hundreds of thousands of years".
This isn't magnetic bracelets of homeopathy, this is actually based on established science. You'd know that if you'd read any.
"...at ICANT's continuing strategy to turn this TLD thing into a blackmail scheme for companies, orgs, schools, etc. "Here, buy another domain because someone might squat on it!"
This is the argument put forth by the Intellectual Property folks. It doesn't hold water. Sorry the world isn't com/net/org but nobody gets exclusive use of a shared resource to impose their will on it. You're supposed to have learned this in kindergarten.
Can you imagine is Usenet was sueable like ICANN is ? rec.autos.chrysler might never exist - ".chrysler ? I'm sorry, we have exclusive use of that string anywhere in the world". Sorry, the net does what the net does and you can block that organic growth for a while - which is exactly what has been done, but eventually you have to stand out of the way. Which is what is happening now, industrial espionage notwithstanding.
Patience. It just drives up the MPAA's legal bill. We'll wait.
You know, we don't really need to use a domain for this. What's google's DNS server? It probably does have a domain but everyone knows it's 8.8.8.8
Use a domain by all means. But on the main page put the current IP and make sure the website works with an IP address as well as a domain.
A good tld to use for a domain like this is.ARPA. They never expire and they're just another TLD. If you own an IP, you have an arpa address you can use for anything you want.
You can use one in an NS record, but I haven't yet found an icann registrar that will take.arpa as a domain, it says it's invalid (never mind it's the first tld ever)
Membranes aren't plasma they're fatty acids. Pretty easy to do this part too, they're self organizing. That is of you introduce individual fatty acid molecules into water they clump together and form sheets, they keep on going and because of the geometry of the molecule they end up forming, wait for it, perfect spheres.
Our celllar membanes have two layers of these, the "bilayer phospholipid membrane". Actually all animals too, plants have cell walls.

A few days ago the Alarmist In Chief recanted:
http://politics.slashdot.org/story/12/04/25/1325241/gaia-scientist-admits-mispredicting-rate-of-climate-change
So, the "consensus" was actually a result of proof by authority and not actual science.
Flooding in New York is most likely to come from a Tsunami caussed by that rock hanging by a thread in the Canary Islands.
The Alarmist In Chief recanted last week and said they were all exagerating, which was covered by, oh, wait, slashdot.
Maybe get him to read this:

All computers suck. Pick your flavour.

When the feds walk in with a court order you sorta have to go along with is. This is silliness.
All domains are US controlled. Period.

Agreed 100%. I'd use a pdp-11 instruction set (because nothing since was ever as clever) and lots of provisions for various coprocessors, some tbd.

"And I'm sure if the cooling business had its way, we'd still be arguing about CFCs and have a massive, inexplicable hole."
We replaced CFC with HCFC which are only 90% as bad. Tell me again about the breadth and depth of your research about this solved problem.
(CFC's are bad, they worse than CO2 say some scientists)

"Could that mean we can jail almost all the Vegans out there, who give us a hard time, for those who actually eat meat."
Very valid point. This should not have been labeled "troll" this is the sort of thing you'd expect to see come up in court should this go that far.
