From your link, I like the reasoning the American Association of Petroleum Geologists used to change their stance to "non-committal" from dissenting:
"AAPG president Lee Billingsly wrote in March 2007 that "Members have threatened to not renew their memberships... if AAPG does not alter its position on global climate change".
Makes you wonder (okay, maybe just me) what motivates the organizations' consensus stances.
Although, I'm really just playing devil's advocate here, I do think there is way too much group-think on the subject--from both sides.
From what I read, the EAL rating system is just the assurance level of the protection profile.
The O/S was awarded a protection profile of "High Robustness" at EAL-6+ (the + just means they went a little above and beyond EAL-6), which seems to indeed be the highest security rating awarded.
On their website if you sort by "Conformance Claim" for validated products it seems to hold this up. Then again, it may just be sorting in alphabetical order.:)
The deal was brokered as a settlement to a class-action lawsuit, which individuals normally can opt out of.
There's a list of publishers in the article that are part of the deal--I would make sure one of them is not yours.
GP said "stone-the-gays minority" not ban-the-gay-marriage minority. The right to exist vs. the right to a govt. sanctioned socio-economic union. I, for one, see a LARGE difference between the two.
Catalysts lower the activation energy for a reaction...
That's not "exactly" true. The catalyst provides an alternative route for the reaction with a lower activation energy.
Here's an analogy from chemguide to drive home the distinction:
Suppose you have a mountain between two valleys so that the only way for people to get from one valley to the other is over the mountain. Only the most active people will manage to get from one valley to the other.
Now suppose a tunnel is cut through the mountain. Many more people will now manage to get from one valley to the other by this easier route. You could say that the tunnel route has a lower activation energy than going over the mountain.
But you haven't lowered the mountain! The tunnel has provided an alternative route but hasn't lowered the original one. The original mountain is still there, and some people will still choose to climb it.
In the chemistry case, if particles collide with enough energy they can still react in exactly the same way as if the catalyst wasn't there. It is simply that the majority of particles will react via the easier catalysed route.
Reading Scott Guthrie's blog posts (quoted below) it looks like the complete source will be downloadable in the near future alleviating the need to get the source in chunks.
Yes - we'll be releasing a separate download version (that copies all files locally) in the near future as well. This avoids the need for you to be online in order to access and browse it.
Most elected officials don't read the bills they are voting on. They do, however, have numerous staff members that read the entire bills (or at least purport to;)) and report back the important details that they believe affect their constituents.

Although, I bet that algae are a lot cheaper than the latest PV cells.

The Congress is almost entirely made up of strong sadists.
There fixed it for you. That's how I first read it, anyways.

It's worse because I get slapped anytime I call a woman that. Somewhat Pavlovian I guess.
That sounds dirty, but then again I have a sick mind.
