Without basic science, you don't get applied science.
I sure wish the know-nothing "hurr why study fruit flies? hurr!" idiots would fucking understand this.
But no. They get in their cars and drive, use computers, talk on cellphones, dance at the club to kilowatts of audio, eat, drink, and be merry and then decry the amount of money we spend on basic science to make all that possible.
Don't like money spent on basic science? Go live in a yurt.
If it says "dispense as written" on the prescription form, it certainly/must not/ be substituted if the MD does not change the prescription over the phone. It goes both ways. If it says such, you cannot substitute generics for name-brand and you cannot substitute name-brand for generic.
>why should every pharmacy be forced to stock/dispense every manufacturer's version of all drugs?
Where else would a patient get drugs other than a pharmacy?
A pharmacist/must/ make a good faith attempt to fill a valid prescription. The only reasonable grounds to refuse to fill a prescription is if the pharmacist believes it would harm the patient through improper dose or drug interaction or abuse (this sort of stuff is required anyway).
All except for the 5 or so stupid states where they codified "refusal on moral grounds" because of the Plan B abortion pill. Because religious nutjobs have nothing better to do than to tell other people how to live.
But refusal to fill a prescription because it says "Generic" on it and "Dispense as written"? No. That, sir, is illegal. That is not attempting to make a good faith effort and it means you are a scumbag.
It's just that I've been running Ubuntu so long and got so used to sudo and no root logins and all that I entirely forgot about it.
Because any other way is madness.
Speaking of no-root-login, there is a certain kind of user or admin who will fight to the death against removing the login for root and say how sudo is a security hole. I just don't get it.
Someone else also mentioned fail2ban. I endorse that too.
1. Don't run services you don't need. This goes for all systems, including Windows. 2. If you do need sshd running, install denyhosts. 3. If at all possible, run sshd on a nonstandard port.

But... he argues for liberal and progressive thought.
His whole wikipedia page is full of examples.
He says some things are wrong with it (that liberals have let the conservatives steer the argument through language) but he's never argued against rationality.
The Bible didn't talk about Newton's third law, quantum mechanics, special and general relativity, Maxwell's equations, etc, but that doesn't mean the features of the Universe these things describe don't exist.
God told Adam to look after God's creations and pay attention to them. Ignore God's creations at your own peril.

Furthermore, if you don't believe in this science stuff because it's blasphemous, you're quite the hypocrite if you go 'round using the technology and medicine that science enables. Unplug your computer, telephone, and go live in a yurt.
This is exactly the question I pose to fundies - "For the sake of argument I will stipulate that God exists. Who are you to deny God His tools? God made the Universe and everything in it, including Evolution which is a manifestation of Creation itself. You think you know better than God? Who here is really denying God?"
I never get a decent enough answer. Maybe because they're wrong and can't spot allegory (Genesis) if it came up and slapped them in the face.

I personally ran into this while looking for flooding pictures in Warwick RI a couple of springs back.
Nearly half the Google results on the first page were SEO malware sites.

No, "drive by download" means going to google, clicking on a SEO link attached to a malware site, and getting screwed over.

Period.
There is no ambiguity about this.

There's no symbolism in the Bible? It's all literal?
Then why do fundies hop all over Revelation using the symbolism in it to predict when the Rapture is going to be here?
Right.
