On the other hand (to borrow from your example--and not that I hate Jews), writing/saying "I think Jews (or black,s or Hispanics, or Germans, or ???) are the spawn of Satan and deserve to burn in hell) likely *would* be considered "hate speech." Such speech does not suborn violence or other illegal acts, nor does it infringe anyone's rights, yet becomes "illegal" under hate speech doctrine, which *is* an unjustifiable infringement of free speech.
The whole notion of "hate speech" is bullshit anyway. True freedom of speech means I can write/say "Linux users are monkey butts" or "Microsoft users are hamster butts" with legal impunity. It is my *opinion* and none of the government's damned business.
Let the government and its minions take a flying leap at the nearest alimentary orifice.
"And who do you think is paying them to say that, eh?"
Holy tin-foil hat, Batman!
Look, I am as suspicious of government as the next geek, but to suggest that somebody is paying the DOE and USGS to "say these things" is simply absurd. And even if it were true, this is the age of the whistle-blower hero; nobody could get away with it for very long.
"Online, a joe job (or Joe job) is a spam attack using spoofed sender data and aimed at tarnishing the reputation of the apparent sender and/or induce the recipients to take action against him (see also e-mail spoofing).

Ah, if you RTFA, you should know this: "Late last week, some bee-keepers claimed that the phenomenon - which started in the US, then spread to continental Europe - was beginning to hit Britain as well."
Sorta blows your theory out of the water, I think.
"I'm not seeing any statistically significant increase in either what's being blocked or what's being accepted by any of the MTA's I manage. Also, Trend Micro's spam stats don't show any major jump in activity either."
I hope you are right, because I have had an epiphany and am now one of those who decry the "clueless users/lusers" responsible for letting their machines become infected and recruited into botnets.
I used to have sympathy for them, but as botnets proliferate and my mail servers get pounded even harder by spam et al, that sentiment is becoming harder to conjure up.
I am on the verge of joining the "computer users should be licensed" ranks.
If you people would put aside your egos, forego the 5-digit-ID pissing contest, and RTFA, you would see this:
For the fire department, it's much more cut-and-dried, said Lt. Joel Lavender, a Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesman.
"We don't really have a lot of business running lights, period," Lt. Lavender said. "If you mess up and you're not on an emergency run, you get a ticket. They're subject to the same penalty, in addition to being punished by the fire department."
I was wondering how the test-spam generator will handle headers, especially origin IP address. That alone is often 75 percent accurate in determining spam. If it sources from an IP in Korea, South America, or Europe and is destined for a North American inbox, odds are it is spam.
Not flaming, just an observation based on my own experinces.
...I wonder where the branch is that sprouted modern burrowing/hibernating reptiles and mammals. And where did the branch bifurcate to give rise to non-burrowing/hibernating mammals? To my best recollection, all reptiles hibernate in one fashopn or another.
'But I have big objections to idiots who live in the suburbs and "need a big SUV" because they go skiing once a year / need to carry stuff back from Home Depot / whatever.'
Following that same line of thought, I have big objections to anyone other than police and military "needing" any form of automobile capable of exceeding 70 mph. These vehicles serve no purpose other than to provide criminals and terrorists a way to escape from police, and cause thousands of human deaths annually in the U.S. alone--not to mention the environmental damage and roadway deaths of millions of innocent animals caused by these high-speed, can't-brake-for-animals-under-any-circumstances missiles. I say we ban them.

As a recently certified EMT, I find this both encouraging and disturbing.
The switch from 2 breaths/15 compressions to the 2/30 ratio made sense; the idea is to circulate oxygenated blood to the brain and heart. Oxygen in the lungs is useless if there is no circulation, ergo circulation is far more critical, even if blood oxygen saturation is relatively low.
This study disturbs me because it will cause me to doubt the efficacy of my patient care in the field. If working alone, should I forego rescue breaths and concentrate on chest compressions? Or should I follow the AHA recommendation of 2/30? Whichever route I choose, is it the best care for the patient?
I will no doubt take the CYA route and follow protocol, which is 2/30. Still, if a patient does not survive, I will wonder if perhaps they might have survived had I violated protocol.
You are correct from a technical standpoint, but the notion that a robot (which I believe Segway is) autonomously balancing itself is a breakthrough of some sort pales because Segway did it first, albeit in one dimension.
"This versatile model could one day be used for automobile driver's assistance, visual search engines, biomedical imaging analysis, or robots with realistic vision."
Or to automatically scan streets, airports, bus stations, bank queues, etc. for "wanted" persons, terrorists, library fine evaders, dissidents, etc ad nauseum.
For standing up to HSUS, which most people do not know is an animal rights group as opposed to an animal welfare group. I hope Amazon countersues on the basis that HSUS is atrtempting to violate free speech guarantees through extortive, frivolous legal action.

Jeez, I hate IE!
"Estivate? Another story."
Point taken. I tend to overlook behaviors in climates other than temperate.
Of course, the obstinate might argue that estivation is the complement of hibernation, but you will get no such argument here.

Excellent advice. Thank you.

Most unpleasant.
Some excellent recommendations here, as usual. Thanks, all, for the help.

I wish there was a way to incite a universal boycott of ALL **AA related products. Perhaps that would get someone's attention.
